DELAY VS DENIAL

DELAY VS. DENIAL 

3 TIPS TO HANDLING YOUR HOLDING PATTERN

You've got the winning concept. You had a light bulb moment that is going to change everything. You finally got your money together. You've finally decided to have "the talk." And then there is a curve ball at you. You had your mind and heart synchronized to move in the direction of your goal and just like that the wheels of progress grind to a screeching halt. The proverbial wind has gone out of your sails. You are now deflated rather than determined. Stop. Breath. It's time to stop thinking of delay as denial. We can't use a delay as our "get out of jail free" card and crawl back in our hole. You are in a holding pattern. All is not lost. Achievement of the goal is still possible. The energy, enthusiasm, and effort necessary has not evaporated its just on stand by. Resist the urge to look at a pause as period. You are still on the clock and in the game. Practice these 3 tips during delay:

1. Stay Focused. The plan has not changed. You are still on track. Be ready to take action when the delay is over. Resist the urge to become discouraged or distracted.
2. Review the Plan. This delay could be by design. Perhaps it's an opportunity for you focus on preparation for the endeavor. Take this time to evaluate the effort you going to undertake. The plan has not changed but it just might need a little tweaking to maximize results or impact.
3. Rest. This could very well be the calm before the storm. Once you get going you'll need your best energy to fuel your best effort. Take advantage of the opportunity that the delay provides to by allowing yourself to just be. Every moment doesn't have to be filled with motion. 

Remember, you are still on track and you are going to crush this next goal. You are delayed NOT denied.

How to Win the Waiting Game

If patience truly is a virtue (and it is,) then waiting is truly a challenge. Much of our lives are spent hurrying from one goal or objective to another only to met with delay, denial or derailment. Knowing that gratification will not be immediate or easy can be enough to keep us from trying or giving up well before the goal is reached. Winning at waiting is a skill the great ones have mastered. Don't get discouraged with the process. Keep the goal in mind and reflect on what motivated you to pursue your passions in the first place. We are doers, achievers, go-getters and so winning at waiting can be difficult because we want to actively participate in reaching our goals. A well seasoned steak can be marinated for hours. Wine and other liquors are "aged" for many years in some cases to achieve the perfect flavor. Our own physical, emotional and mental growth takes place of a span of many years. Growth and development take time. Don't rush the process. Develop a "PS," a Patience Strategy! Your "PS" is what you fall back on when waiting becomes unbearable. It includes things that:

• Remind you of why you started
• Affirmations on why patience is important
• Goal review tasks to make sure you are still on the right path

You "PS" should accompany every major goal you set so that you are ready to confront anything that tries to discourage you from following through on making what you are working so hard to achieve become a reality.
