Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week, June 7, 2010
Perfect the Present
Dissatisfied with something in your life? Whether it is the feeling that your financial life is out of control, bogged down by too much clutter piling, irritation with a boss, colleague or spouse, or just feeling there is too much to do and too little time, there is a solution.

Dissatisfied with something in your life? Whether it is the feeling that your financial life is out of control, bogged down by too much clutter piling, irritation with a boss, colleague or spouse, or just feeling there is too much to do and too little time, there is a solution.
Take one area that is bothering you and perfect it. If it is your work, spend some time tossing out old files and clearing off your desk. Imagine that you will be moving to a new job soon and need to clean out your desk and get all your projects completed before you go. Handle any problems you are having with bosses or colleagues now so that you start your new job without burning any bridges and with great communication skills in place. If you don't know how to handle a difficult situation, seek advice from a mentor or work with a life coach to improve your communication skills.
If it is your home that is frustrating you, start with one room and make that perfect. One client started with the bathroom as it was the smallest room in the house. She changed the fluorescent light to a softer and more flattering bulb and threw out her old towels and bought new fluffy ones in a favorite color with a matching bath mat. Once one room is perfect then, you can start another. No need to race, just enjoy the process.
Take one small action today that will bring you one step closer to perfection in the area that is bothering you the most. If it is financial, then take a moment to clean out your wallet and organize your bills. You'll immediately start to feel a sense of control over your finances. Clutter getting to you? Then pick one small area and make it perfect – the kitchen junk drawer, a book case, the spices, etc.
Strangely enough, the sooner you perfect a situation, the sooner you'll be out of it.
It is also about learning to see the perfection in the imperfect. When I was taking pottery classes in New York City, the teacher said that there is no point in making a perfect bowl. The beauty and charm of a hand thrown bowl is its imperfection. He said, “If you want a perfect bowl, go to Pottery Barn and get one!” Ask yourself, “What is perfect about this situation?” Is there something you need to learn to do or handle?
Enjoy!
