As I sat and reflected on my life I was able to identify five significant players in making me who I am: my role models. Writing down the specific qualities that my role models possessed made me wonder if it would be possible for me to step into a new me – a new me that has all the qualities that I admire in my famous five. Of course it is possible. I am a woman and women can do anything.
In How to change in two easy steps I identified a self improvement exercise that assists in preparing and becoming comfortable with impending behavioural and psychological change (exercise 2). Taking my own medicine, I opted to lump all of my magic five’s ingredient’s into me sitting opposite me. Stepping into the sitting me, the me with all the admirable qualities of my role models, felt FANTASTIC. So good, in fact, that I am going to keep doing it until I claim all those bits of admiration I identify in others.
Well practised at this technique of change (in the early days I used Whoopi Goldberg and Karrie Webb as my admirable people), seeing me and feeling me with other people’s coveted qualities was easy. For many people, this technique may start off as difficult. Preserver and keep visualising yourself with all the qualities of those you aspire to be like. A fake it till you make it exercise, it is impossible to soak up the qualities you desire without eventually owning them and integrating them into your daily life.

What’s more likely to work for me is employing the power tool of motivation in my home office. I am slow to get my administrative tasks done because I consider them less important than my people contacts. However, doing the admin, makes my work easier, more ordered and sets me in a powerful mindset of total concentration and income generation activity.
