Dear Wonderful Woman,

How are you doing?

I'm well.

One of the things that helps us to see and appreciate what we have is having a sense of gratitude for what we already have.

And yet, we can be frustrated, fearful, and doubtful that we can truly chart a path to achieving our career goal or dream.

Today I would like us to think about how do we recognise the abundance that we already have in career and in lives.

And so in this newsletter I'm going to reflect on some elements that can support us to build an abundance mindset.

Shift our internal dialogue

Take note of how are you're talking to yourself. Are the things you are saying mainly positive, optimistic or are they negative and closed. Working on seeding more positive and open thoughts which can help us to see more opportunities. Using phrases that help us to be solutions focused and believe any challenges we are facing are temporary.

Lets ask ourselves:

What are the options or possibilities?

How can I?

In this moment I feel, I believe that I can learn, improve, grow

Take Responsibility for your Actions

Take note of where we are falling short in tackling some of the challenges we are currently facing in our career. Is there something that you know that you need to tackle but you've been putting off? Or is there something that you haven't started because you're afraid to go beyond your comfort zone. Not tackling your excuses is preventing you from creating the future you desire.

Lets ask ourselves:

How can I create the future I want?

What can I stop to create the future I want?

What can I start, learn or get help to create the future I want?

Embrace the power of YET

Assess where we are in the journey on working towards our career goal or objective. Take the time to recognise and acknowledge that we are on a journey to achieve our career goal. Remember that it will take us time get there. Even if we are not there yet to acknowledge where we are now. Where we are now has value.

Let's ask ourselves:

What does my progress look in terms of what I have done?

How can I use the data I have from my progress to do things differently to move towards my career goal?

Does my progress indicate that I need review my mindset, skillset or actions to date?

So, today take a moment to be grateful.

Take a moment and consider am I open to embracing the potential career opportunities that there are out there for me?
