Do you ever feel that you have several mini-you's inside your head, each battling for supremacy? Don't worry - this is completely normal!
However if you allow them to continue the internal conflict, it can negatively impact on your success. The key is to get to know them well, and understand their motivations. For example, if the leisure-lover is the one that wants to relax, take time out, do things that are enjoyable but not moving you forwards towards your goals, acknowledge them and make a deal! Promise them that you'll give them a treat once a particular task has been achieved.
If the perfectionist is the one that wants to ensure every single contingency is in place, every 'what if' has been taken care of, and uses these imperatives as excuses to hold back from taking the actions that you need to achieve your goals, acknowledge them and make a deal! Agree that if they accept the need to take action before all the ducks are lined up, you'll allow them to contribute towards improving the overall vision of what's to be achieved.
Make a decision as to which of your 'mini-you's can best help you to achieve the goals you've set. Give them full rein to move forwards, whilst giving the others credit for their input. At any one time, it may be a different person who's required - the joy of acknowledging and accepting these mini-personalities is that you can then get the best from them, and increase your success as a result!
