The anchors that stop life from sweeping you away - why we need them and how to create them
from Another Way · host Selina Barker
Hello lovelies, In this week’s Pep-Talk, I’m exploring the importance of having anchors in your life that connect you to your dreams, goals and desires on a regular basis. And how, without them, we can find ourselves permanently lost in a swirl of to-do lists, house admin, work responsibilities and other people’s needs - with our dreams getting further and further away.What I mean by anchor points is intentional pause points in our lives – moments where we step out of the rush of life and ask ourselves:How am I doing - really?What do I need right now to help me to thrive?What dreams do I most want to go after - and what steps can I take?What do I need to schedule into my calendar to help me design the life I want to be living?And they make a HUGE difference. I have realised that anchor points are the key when it comes to going after your dreams, staying on track with your goals and designing a life you love.When you get anchor points scheduled firmly into your life - on a quarterly, monthly or week basis - you will see a significant increase in how many of your dreams come true and how much of your life starts to fill up with the ingredients that bring you joy. And so, in today’s Pep-Talk, I talk about:* Why anchors are SO important in keeping ourselves connected to what really matters to us* Why creative, busy or neurodivergent minds especially benefit from them* The many different forms anchors can take and how to find the right ones for you and your life* And why structure, rhythm and (for many of us) accountability are essential for those anchors to work🤩 Come and try the Project You Club for a month!If you want to come and try the monthly anchor (the Project You Club Reflect and Plan Session) that has made a HUGE difference to my life and a 100+ members in the Project You Club, then now is your chance to try it!🗓️ The next February Reflect & Plan Session is on MONDAY, 2ND FEBRUARY, 1-2pm GMT You can sign up for as little as £9.95/month and unsubscribe at any time.
