Hello Christelle,
Have you ever thought of, and got excited about, doing something different…
Different to your day-to-day life, to your work, to what people around you (both at work and in your social circle) normally did?
Something that would take you into the unknown, uncertain, uncomfortable, without any role model around you, maybe even without any roadmaps and guardrails?
I certainly have. Many times!
But…
Want to guess what thoughts normally come up right after?
If you’re thinking something like:
- Put the brakes on!
- This is such a stupid idea!
- I’m not good enough for that… let’s forget about it!
- What will others think of me?
You’d be right!
Luckily for me, I’ve learned to have a “conversation” between the “me” who wants to do “something different” and my thoughts that don’t want to go there:
- Give it a name
- Review that “something different”
- Review the potential obstacles
- Think back about your past “jumps into the unknown”
- Have the conversation

Now it’s your turn:
- What thoughts come up to YOU whenever you think of doing “something different”?
- How do you deal with the conflict between your “want” and your “thoughts”?
Empower yourself - starting with holding yourself accountable…
I hope you enjoyed your “break” from this “empowering yourself accountability” section…
And now, let’s go back into it!
- What’s one other step you can take this week?
- What’s important to you about this action?
- What will it change in your life?
- What would you miss out if you weren’t taking that step?
