Julie's 45 - CHOICEWORDS THAT INSPIRE A monthly quick shot to motivate you, in less than 45 seconds, from Julie Cohen CoachingWhat CHOICE do you want to make? Dictionary*says: the act of choosing, power of choosing, a person or thing chosen, the best part, care in selecting. What it REALLY means: making a commitment to what matters to you; acting on your priorities and your values; expressing to yourself and to others what you want and need in your life. Why it MATTERS? CHOICE moves you from stuck into action; from uncertainty to decision. CHOICE gives you freedom from ‘what should I do?’ Questions that INSPIRE: • What CHOICE do you want to make? • What is preventing you from making a CHOICE? What would simplify this CHOICE? • What would it feel like if you already made the right CHOICE for you? • What are your values and priorities that influence this CHOICE? • What can you do today to act on this CHOICE? I would love to hear your answers and comments. Take 45 seconds to reply and I will share ideas and actions (with all identifying information removed!) in a future quick shot.

Those moments when I do feel such passion I am almost impermeable to negative thoughts and insecurities. • What one step can you take today which will make your PASSION more a part of your life or your work? o Be grateful.
