Do you excuse yourself frequently?

I am sorry for...

... anything that is actually quite normal?

How do people react to it?

How does it make you feel?

Have you tried saying thank you?

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for the patience.

Showing appreciation to the other party goes a long way.

Excusing yourself is a degrading exercise for yourself.

Where do you feel at your best?

When you are at home?

When you are at the office?

When you are traveling?

When you are on holiday?

Who is around you when you feel great?

What is your environment like?

Our environment is a key ingredient.

So is the people we have around us.

And the place we are at.

Do you carry stuff around in you?

Shameful secretes?

Assumptions about someone?

Strong emotions?

Ideas you want to share?

Perceptions you are not sure about?

Talk to people!

Get these things off your chest.

Before they drive you nuts.

You will feel better when you can share them.

But pick the people you share with carefully.

Not everyone deserves to be invited.

Do you have a hard time remembering things?

Are you easily stressed?

Are you stressed often?

Do you have a hard time to calm your nervous system?

Do you fail to remember stressful situations in particular?

When we are stressed, our memory does not work well.

When you are in stressful situations try to take notes.

Your memory is likely to fail you later.

Have you set new yearly goals?

Are you excited by what you aim for this year?

Do you have big plans?

Have you achieved things last year?

Do you wish to build on them?

Do you worry you might drop habits you have established?

How do you ensure you build on what you have achieved?

Often, we are so focused on new things, that we forge to maintain.

Habits you have successfully established should be built upon.

Introducing too many new goals, can jeopardize what we have achieved already.

Are you trying to leave something behind?

Are you ready to move forward to new waters?

Have you mde the decision to do so?

And after you did, has the past come knocking?

And knocking some more?

And some more?

Life can give us a challenge at crucial times.

Just when you want to take an improtant step something will come up.

If you are truly ready, you will take the step anyway.

If you are not, you will stumble.

Can you be yourself with others?

How easy is being yourself for you?

Can you be yourself with some people and not with others?

Why is that?

What are you afraid of?

What do you expect if you are yourself?

Are there memories that fuel this?

It is important to be yourself with people.

Waiting to show your true self is a waste of time.

It wastes your time and the other person.

And it will attract the wrong kind of people.

Be yourself.

How much do you do?

How many projects do you have?

Why do you do them?

How enjoyable are they?

How large is their potential?

Which are your top 3?

Which ones could you stop doing?

Where can you reduce your time and effort?

Often, we do too much.

Too many projects, too many activities, too many habits.

And most of them will keep us away form what truly matters to us.

Do less to achieve more.

How good are you at timing?

Timing your investments?

Timing your decisions?

Timing your activities?

Timing your travels?

Timing your work?

Patience and consistency coupled with timing are key.

Patience and consistency will put you in the position to time well.

There is no guarantee your timing is right.

So keep trying.

Which kind of people do you want in your life?

Why do you wish for them?

Are you like this?

If not, why not?

Do you think you will attract them?

If you were them, would you be interested in yourself?

We tend to attract people similar to us.

If you want certain people in your life, become it first.

That is the surest way to find what you deserve and want.

What is your relationship with money?

How do you view money?

How important is it to you?

What are your spending habits?

How does your relationship with it differ to others?

What are the consequences of your relationship with money?

We all have a distinct relationship with money.

It forms due to our upbringing and our life experiences.

Getting clear on the relationship we have and the one we want to have is paramount.

Take some time and get clarity around this.

Do you have agreements in your relationships?

For which things do you use agreements?

Do you write them down?

Do you sign them?

Do you agree on deadlines?

Do you agree on clear responsibilities?

Do you agree on penalties?

If you do not agree and plan things, life will plan for you.

Write these agreements down and act on them.

Who fails to plan, plans to fail, also in relationships.

Do you set yourself yearly goals?

Do you tend to reach them?

How well do you execute them?

Do you make a plan for them?

Are your goals internally or externally dependent?

Externally dependent goals are bad.

Your goals should be internally dependent, thus in your control.

You need a plan to reach them and establish processes.

The processes should be your goals.

Like writing a daily thought.

Where is your internal clutter?

What even is internal clutter?

Do you have unclear relationships?

With money? With people? With yourself?

Do you have any unresolved problems?

Do you ruminate about them?

Is your identity not clear to you?

Internal clutter is holding you back.

Start tidying up your mind.

Write things down. Plan things. Have the difficult conversations.

Make the decisions!

What does Christmas mean to you?

Does your behaviour reflect this?

What is important to you during Christmas?

How can you ensure these things?

We ruin Christmas for ourselves if we are not clear.

Clear on what we want and how to get it.

Clear on how to behave.

The decisions you make and actions you take are 100% on you.

Go get that Christmas you wish for.

During meetings?

At the coffee shop?

When they are working?

In a team game?

Why do you do it?

Are there others that disturb you?

How do you like being disturbed?

Do you do it on purpose?

Where do we draw the line? When is our behaviour an uncalled for nuisance and when are others overly sensitive?

Find your line and find it well.

Do your emotions stand in the way?

In the way of finding agreements?

In the way of seeing solutions?

In the way of finding common ground?

In the way of listening?

In the way of thinking clearly?

Sometimes we cannot see the obvious solution, due to emotionality.

Take out the emotions and if you can't listen to advisors.

Emotions and negotiations are not friends.

Do you want something, yet you do not?

Are the upsides appealing, but the downsides scare you?

Do you have two goals and need to chose one?

We all have intrapersonal conflict, conflict with ourselves.

It is normal to have, so don't break a sweat if you do.

Sometimes there are innovative solutions and sometimes not.

Ruminating about things won't help.

Take a leap of faith or get some outside perspectives.

Negotiating with yourself is the ultimate negotiation.

Do you respect other's decisions?

Do others respect your decisions?

Do you overexplain your reasoning?

Do you demand explanations?

Do you try to talk others out of their decisions?

Do you let others talk you out of your decisions?

Often we need to respect a decision.

Often we need to stay firm on our decision.

It is your right to decide for yourself,

Just as it is another's right to decide for themselves.

Do you manipulate others?

Do others manipulate you?

Why do you do it?

Are you ashamed of it?

Are your goals malicious?

Do others profit of your manipulation?

Especially the ones you manipulate?

Everyone manipulates others at some point.

Anytime you try to get someone to do what you want, you do.

Often it has benefits for both parties, sometimes it does not.
