HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU’VE REALLY HAD ENOUGH

Perhaps you have been playing a sport for many years and seem to have lost the fun or drive you once had for it.

Or you think you’ve had enough of your current job, career or business but are not 100% sure you’re ready to let it go.

Maybe you’re thinking this same thing about your relationship…

Now there are definitely times in our lives when we have really had enough and it’s time to ‘hang up the boots’ but if we once had such love, drive and fun doing something and it’s suddenly or even slowly diminished chances are there’s simply something missing.

Here are 2 key factors for you to consider:

1. You’re no longer growing, either you’ve achieved everything you want to in a sport or your business, or you just don’t have any new and inspiring goals to strive for. Perhaps your relationship is stagnant because you’re not moving forward together towards something important or meaningful.

2. It’s time to get some outside help either from an expert or coach to help you re-ignite the love, energy and drive you once had.

What I experienced while skiing at Falls Creek Victoria, Australia was the feeling that I’d had enough. I have always had a great love for skiing and my first day back on this trip was after a long break so I spent it ‘finding my feet’. The following day I ventured onto a more difficult run and again I did this on the third day.

But after that I’d had enough and I felt like I could really just hang up my boots. I knew there was more to it and luckily enough my fellow skiing buddies convinced me I should have a lesson.

Now at first I was reluctant, as all the ski instructors I’d had in Australia, New Zealand and Europe simply took me way out of my comfort zone and skiing down double black runs and off the edges of scary mountain cliffs. At this stage in my life I really didn’t want to risk get injured or do it simply to say I’ve conquered the mountain.

However I decided to go along and ended up having an entirely different experience. This skiing instructor took us on a green beginner slope AND TAUGHT US expert technique. How to roll my ankles and knees properly, and how to more effectively distribute my weight.

After this one little lesson I was on fire! I skied all day long and you couldn’t get me off the slopes I was having THE BEST time!

WHY?

Because I was growing, I had something to work on to improve myself. If we’re not growing, learning or helping others, days can quickly and easily become mundane and boring (even at a luxurious ski resort!) and we can feel like quitting.

Or perhaps you have been on the receiving end of a negative comment delivered in a really nasty way from a colleague or your boss? 

Or you’ve received negative feedback when you least expected it…

Watch my video and read my tips below on how to successfully deal with negative feedback at work.

Receiving negative feedback at work or in your personal life doesn’t have to kill your confidence. I challenge you to view it as a gift.

Yes – this feedback and be precious!

When working on your personal and professional development getting any type of feedback is valuable. It means you have something specific to work on to improve yourself. The last thing you want, is to not know about something that is letting you down that could be changed, worked on or avoided. 

Remember that we don’t have the same thoughts or perspective about ourselves at others do. Other people around us, nice or nasty can provide us with extremely beneficial information, advice or feedback that can help us improve and become the best version of ourselves. 

So next time you receive any type of negative feedback, even if it’s not delivered in the nicest of ways thank the person for their feedback.

Most people when receiving negative feedback are quick to defend themselves and therefore don’t take the time to listen or analyse the value in the feedback.

Even if you disagree 100% with the feedback understanding other peoples views and perceptions can be interesting and helpful.

FOR EXAMPLE: Perhaps you continue to fail getting an interview from your CV. You think your CV is outstanding and don’t want to change it by deleting any of your experience or expertise, but recruiters feedback is that it’s terribly long. Do you leave it as is and risk getting further unsuccessful applications, or do you try something different? Perhaps they are right and your potential employees like short and to the point CV applications.

Welcoming or even directly asking for feedback takes confidence. So always ensure your confidence levels are at their best, then receiving negative feedback is easy.   

Have you received any negative feedback that left you in tears or down right angry and defensive? Can you change your perception about it to gain insight from the experience? Leave a comment below so we can have a chat about it.
