Some Interesting Facts about Worrying

A few days ago I came across some interesting research facts. They are:

• 50% of Brits spend their spare time worrying about work

• 80% of the things people fear or worry about never happen!

We Brits seem to be doing quite a lot of worrying, as do the rest of the world. The above figures show that it clearly isn’t necessary as 80% of our worries never come to pass in the first place! Talk about an overactive mind! Someone once said that “worry is the wrong use of the imagination” and I agree!

Our fears and worries only have a 20% chance of ever happening and we can reduce this even further, or totally eradicate it, by setting goals and working them. An even more certain approach would be to work on our goals with a coach. The skills, experience and non-judgmental support of a coach could tide us over when motivation wanes and uncertainty sets in. A coach can also help you handle life’s distractions, something you may be too pre-occupied to do effectively by yourself.

Great personal success teacher Brian Tracy says,

“Goals allow you to control the direction of change. Goals assure that change in your life is predominantly in the direction that you want to go. Goals give you control over the critical elements of your life. Goals give you a greater sense of personal power and well-being.”

Think of that!

1. What is your desired direction of change?
Here, list your top 3 goals for this year. You want to move towards these goals, and away from hurdles and distractions.

2. What are the critical elements of your life that relate to your goals?
I invite you to work these out as we coach together, zooming in on them, disempowering your distractions.

You can therefore retire any worries and fears, and make sure your dreams do come true. Worrying is futile and self-limiting. Following your goals gives you empowerment and certainty. Certainty that any goals we work on together will happen. All it takes to get your success started is to set those daily, weekly and monthly plans, and follow them. And you can get started today!

Here’s wishing you more motivation and fulfillment, and may you never give up on those dreams.

Let's get working,

Your coach,

Oma
