For those of you who are new to the Aisling Healy Coaching Community, you are very welcome! For those of you who have joined for a while, welcome back!
I'm Aisling Healy, the Mindset & Accountability Coach, helping you create a positive mindset, build actionable steps and be held accountable to achieve your career & life goals.
I hope you all had a nice Easter Break. It’s so important to relax and take time out for you. If you are guilty of not putting yourself first, make sure to implement my self-care tips this month 👇
Just before we get started, I wanted to share a quick update with you, that you may have noticed. I rebranded as a Mindset & Accountability Coach. Why did I do this? I have worked with over 70 clients one to one in the past 10 months and over 90 clients including my Aisling Healy Coaching Academy students, and I’ve learned a common theme that has arisen from our sessions and that was: issues with either Mindset or Accountability or both.
I've worked with clients to instil confidence in themselves. They have all of the skills, knowledge and abilities but they lacked in confidence and didn't believe in themselves. We worked together to change their mindset and it was amazing. They achieved their career and life goals, ones that they didn't think was possible to achieve. This was due to changing their mindset.
I also worked with clients who weren't achieving results that they wanted from the goals they set in either their personal or professional lives. When we broke it down, they had no schedule, no time put aside to achieve their goals and therefore no accountability to get their tasks done. Putting a schedule in place for completing these tasks also changed their lives and they started seeing results.
This is where I found an essential need for Mindset Change & Accountability when pursuing a particular goal. My advice to you if you're struggling with this, whether it’s in your personal or professional life, is to remember to focus on your mindset and setting tasks with accountability. The rest will follow.
If you don’t know where to start, I suggest starting with my Goal Setting course where you will make a clear plan on how to achieve your career & life goals. Invest in yourself for just €15 and take that first step towards accomplishment:
The second step would be to check out my following tips:
Mindset & Accountability
If you’re starting out with a goal whether it’s searching for a new job or achieving a personal finance goal for example, what are you saying to yourself when you start working towards this? Are you saying "I can't wait to achieve this" or "I'm never going to achieve this"?
I was working with a client and they told me, “I’m not going to get a job that I really want, it’s an employers’ market”. If you are trying to achieve a goal and you start off with that goal by saying “I’m not going to get it” then you are getting exactly what you are asking for. Whereas if you start out with the goal saying, “I am going to achieve it, no matter what!” and continue with this even if you fail once or twice (or more times!), then this will be a powerful step towards achieving your goal. Remember nothing great comes easy and it’s not going to happen overnight. You need to show up and be consistent.
This is where accountability comes in. Put it in your diary. Work even just 15 minutes everyday towards that goal. You will achieve it.
(P.s. This person actually landed their dream role once we changed their mindset and put in actionable steps and you can too!)
Self-Care
This month for self-care, I want you to take a look at how you are talking to yourself. Is it kind? Is it positive? Or is it negative? This month for every negative thought that pops into your head, counteract it with a positive thought or a solution. For example, “I wasn’t as productive as I would have liked to have been, I’m so annoyed at myself, why can I never just do the things that I want to do and stop wasting time?” Change this to “What did I achieve this week? What did I not achieve? How can I change my schedule to achieve them?” Remember it’s small steps every day that will make a difference. If you are saying something negative to yourself, stop to ask yourself, would you say it to a friend? Then why are you saying it to yourself?
Career Tips
Career tips for this month are around feeling unfulfilled or unsatisfied in your role. Do you want to make a change? Get to the bottom of why you want to make a change or what exactly the issue is. What one step can you take today to change your situation? What’s holding you back? This will be powerful in deciding your next steps. Remember we spend 1/3 of our days in work, it should be something you feel fulfilled in doing.
Motivational Quote for April:
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
