Control, Alt, Delete! Reset, Reset, Reset!!! 10 Creator Thoughts to Help You Reset!

2022 isn’t starting out quite like I imagined or planned!  Reset time!  So many things are up in the air.  Literally like flying for example.  I fly almost every week for work.  I can tell you that it has been a challenging task.  Lack of plane and or crew or nasty weather often leads to a delayed or canceled flight.  Once I arrive there is the potential of attendance concerns due to the pandemic.  It often feels like playing Russian Roulette.

Many of my clients are struggling as well with staffing shortages and last-minute patient cancels or fails due to illness.  Everyday is a new challenge.  Maybe you find yourself in the same boat.

We have two choices. We can reset by taking on the current situation and making the best of it.  Or we can get angry, worry, and judge what should or shoudn’t have happened.  Some of us live in a state of fear and judgement of “what if” waiting for the next shoe to drop.

We become the creator of our world when we take on the challenges.  We become the victim of our world when we stew and worry.  Creators are constantly resetting!  Something unplanned or uncertain will happen.  Stop the spinning out of control thoughts of this should or shouldn’t have happened.  Instead change your internal dialogue with a reset transition thought.  So, this happened…now what is the next step I want to take?

• Triage the situation with your team or if alone by yourself.
• Identify what needs to get done, what can be let go.
• Who else can assist?
• What resources can I utilize?
• Then do your best.

Life will continue to be filled with unplanned stuff! Here are 10 creator thoughts to help you reset.

1. Start your day on a positive note. Plan how you want to feel today and not what has to happen today to make it a good day.
2. People will come and go in our life. Some relationships are only meant to last a certain amount of time.
3. People’s actions and reactions are often heightened with all the uncertainty. Don’t take things personally.
4. Challenges force us to grow. Look for the learning opportunity in every obstacle.
5. Sit, stop, and become still. Breathe deep and become calm.  How we feel inside will change how we feel about what’s happening on the outside.
6. Our energy is contagious. Be mindful of the energy we radiate.
7. Be proactive instead of reactive. Take the necessary steps to set up to succeed.
8. Treat people based on the person you want to be. Don’t let negative behavior of others drive your actions.
9. Have hope for the future. This too shall pass.
10. End your day in gratitude. Celebrate the positives by giving thanks       and praise.

Life will be filled with unplanned challenges.  The ability to reset will define our level of success.
