Sunday Inspiration #7
Today’s thought … Raise Your Standards
When you raise your standards to reflect your needs and values, the universe will line up behind your boundaries.
Today’s Coaching Exercise
Spend 5 or so minutes identifying 3 areas in your professional life where you need to raise your standards and log this information in your journal. Now, spend 10 or so minutes creating a plan of action for raising your personal standards in these areas. This may mean making a firm decision not to work on Sundays before 2PM so you can attend religious services (this is an example from my days as a law firm associate …) and making this decision clear to your team, law partners and clients. Or, it could involve letting your team or law partners know that your blackberry is off between 6:30PM and 8:00PM so you can enjoy dinner with your significant other or put your kids to bed.
When you define your boundaries and make it clear how they will not affect your work, you will be amazed at the change in your stress level and increased fulfillment at work and home.
Until next time … Take GREAT Care!

Ah, yes, defining boundaries–it all starts here. Once firmly established, the sky is the limit.
