So that’s what “loops” first brings to mind for me. But after the remnants of that horror pass what I think about next has been super helpful in keeping me on top of things. I heard about this concept from Max Simon, business coach extraordinaire, and it’s stuck with me so I wanted to share it with you.
- How many things on our To Do list are half-started and not complete?
- How many people do we need to get back to on one thing or another?
- How many e-mails in your Inbox need a response?
So here’s what I propose- write down all of your unclosed loops on a sheet of paper and next to each draw a semi-circle. When you’ve closed a loop, go back and reflect that by completing the circle. Even after a short time this will be inspiring for you- it will be a list of accomplishments and empower you to expand upon it.
If this feels like too much, just write down a few and make it a running list. Don’t overwhelm yourself with the BIG loops first if it will keep you from taking action. Start with the small stuff- like purging your email trash (click of a button), or responding to that networking invitation. That will help you work your way up to the ones that may take a bit more time.
And for those of you
who have certain Loops that are tough to close, (Me included– I’ve starting working with a speakers agent so I can share my message in a bigger way –Woo-Hoo!!– BUT = I’ve been been dragging my feet on completing the necessary paperwork so she can begin to promote me! GIANT UNCLOSED LOOP!!!) So- for Loops that are tough to close– Things we’re resisting because taking the action is time-consuming or scary here is a quick energetic clearing in the form of a question: All you need to do is answer with a Yes or No:“What would it take for me to close this loop with total ease and joy? And anything that doesn’t allow that am I willing to release it now?”
Hopefully you said “Yes” ! Choice is powerful and moves tons of stuck energy! Ask yourself this question periodically throughout your day and watch yourself step into the ease and joy of closing that loop!
