Learning Through Actions

Every Thursday, I share one action, habit, or project you may want to undertake in order to improve your health, happiness, and sense of well-being.
If you are finding value in our PROJECT OF THE WEEK Newsletter, we would greatly appreciate it if you would spread the word. Your friends and family can click HERE to sign-up.
PROJECT OF THE WEEK
This may be contrary to the perceived role of a coach. However, I am a firm believer that the best way to learn is through action and building self-confidence.
If you haven't taken action and you don't have an experience to reflect on and learn from, you are not likely to see growth and progress.
Our mission at Happy Spaces is to " Share, Teach and Inspire about The Power of Planning and Why Systems and Structure Matter."
The primary method we use to teach is to pick ONE project, routine or structural change that you want to make happen. We put a plan together and work through that plan until we cross the finish line.
This process, which is all about action, shows our clients what is working, where the pain points are and provides their WHY to make those HARD changes.
Getting Started
I know I am guilty of spending WAY too long making a plan. So often, once I get started, I realize that the pain points are not what I anticipated. Only after getting started and taking action was I able to do the required work to reach my goal and grow.
We always recommend starting small. This builds confidence and often brings to the surface many of the pain points that are likely present in your work and life.
Building a LinkedIn Profile for your new venture may be the perfect springboard project, before building your new website.
Writing a weekly blog may be the ideal first step on the journey to writing your first book.
Launching a monthly IG Live may be the right first step to becoming a paid speaker.
Actions are the best teacher. Taking the time to reflect on your actions, what works, what doesn't, and what changes YOU are willing to make, makes all the difference.
Don't underestimate the power of believing in yourself and positive self talk.
All projects worth doing are HARD. As I like to tell my daughter, "We do hard things".
I know you can too!

A Note from Happy Spaces
The goal is to add value to your life. If you think this project will add value:
Estimate how long you think it will take. I would recommend doubling the time you estimate.
Look at your calendar over the next week and pick a date and time to get started.
Make an appointment on your calendar for the estimated time.
If you estimate that completing this project will take longer than one hour, I recommend doing it over multiple days. This will support you in getting started!
Prior to starting this project, take a few minutes to make a step-by-step list of EVERY action you need to take to complete this project.
It's not all or nothing. You can choose to implement only the parts of this project that add value to your life.
An Accountability Partner can be a great support in following through on your goals and commitments.
We understand how challenging it can be to implement new habits and systems. For additional support please go to HappySpacesBySarah.com.
Creating a life you don't need a vacation from! ®
Sincerely,

Meet Sarah
Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings in Upstate New York, I learned to use organization to create sanity among the chaos. Today, I work together with individuals, families, and small businesses to create habits, systems, and spaces that support their needs, goals, and dreams. Clients often refer to our work together as "life-changing" and "better than decades of therapy". What I love most about my work is the lasting impact it has on real people's lives. Nothing makes me happier than hearing the many success stories of clients I have worked with.
