Navigating the Path to Your BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL Life: The Power of One Degree Shifts
When it comes to crafting and creating a BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL life, the vision you set out for yourself can sometimes feel overwhelming. The vastness of your aspirations may seem like an ocean, leaving you standing on the shore, unsure of where to dive in. So many times, people can leave their dreams standing in a jar on a shelf because the seeming enormity of making those dreams happen seems just to unweildy.
But, what if it gets to be more simple than you could ever imagine? What if living a BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL life was in fact, just a series of small gestures?
And therein lies the secret, the secret to living and creating from your BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL vision to create a BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL life... The secret to transforming ambitious visions into reality lies not in grand gestures, but in the subtle power of one degree shifts – the micro actions that pave the way to monumental change.
The Overwhelm of Grand Visions
In the BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL book you begin by crafting a BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL Vision Map of your life in full technicolour shine. The magic lies in the details of what that looks like, sounds like and feels like as you are creating it. It feels juicy and exciting. However, what quickly follows is a combination of resistance and the shiny squirrels doing a dance to try and distract you by making it all seem way too hard and complicated.
The key to busting beyond resistance and not getting distracted by those dancing shiny squirrels is to break down what you need to do to make your BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL dreams a reality and starting taking action each day.
Here's three powerful questions to help you create the one degree shifts.
1. Question Your Overwhelm: What is the Smallest Step?
In the face of overwhelming dreams, ask yourself: What is the smallest, most manageable step I can take right now? Instead of being consumed by the enormity of your vision, focus on one concrete action. It could be drafting an outline, making a phone call, or researching a key aspect. By breaking it down, you shift from overwhelm to empowered action.
2. Embrace One Degree Shifts: How Can I Break Down My Vision?
Every big vision can be dissected into smaller, achievable components. Explore your grand vision and identify the one degree shifts – those tiny, yet meaningful, actions that move you closer to your goal. Rather than trying to do everything in one go, how can you make it simple and enjoyable? These micro shifts accumulate, propelling you steadily towards your BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL destination.
3. Commit to Consistency: What Daily Action Can I Take?
Consistency is the cornerstone of progress. Reflect on what daily, one degree shift you can commit to. Whether it's dedicating 15 minutes to a project, learning a new skill, or nurturing a crucial connection, the key is persistence. Small, daily actions compound over time, leading to significant transformation.
One degree shifts each day over the course of a year add up to a full circle of action and progression.
From Overwhelm to Empowerment
Your BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL life is not built in a day but through intentional, incremental steps. Instead of the overwhelm of grand visions, embrace the potency of one degree shifts. Break down your dreams into manageable actions and you will embrace the cumulative power of consistent, deliberate choices.
Remember, the journey to your BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL life is crafted one small shift at a time.
As you reflect on these questions, consider how you can apply the concept of one degree shifts to your own aspirations. The magic is not in the size of the action but in the commitment to continuous progress.
Your journey awaits and every small step counts.
