Ryan and I chatted about being 2 months out from our New Years Goals and seeing where in some areas there has been progress and in others a dark failure. I know I am not alone, but  being in my gym I can see how much quieter it is now that the January Gym Resolution has faded away for lots of people. I always give something up for  Lent, as my father is a Polish Catholic, my mum an English Protestant and I am a Buddhist. Since I was a teenager all three of us  have always given up something for Lent, my sister just thinks we are mad.  Traditionally early Christians gave up things for purification and enlightenment in the 40 days before receiving baptism to convert to Christianity. I do actually find peace and indeed purification and enlightenment as I strip away each year some habits for 7 weeks, my life always moves forward and I learn something new. Last year I gave up sugar, alcohol, reading fiction books and men that were bad for me (the last one was the one I failed on, though it did provide some amusements as my ex kept yelling ‘I am not bad for you!” when I refused to see him ;-)) In giving up the alcohol, men and reading I ended up with lots of spare time which I filled with gym, reading non fiction, opening my mind and thus starting my own blog and my podcast. Lent starts Wednesday 5th March 2014 this year. This year I am thinking about cultivating new positive habits rather than just giving up things as I always start again with the old habits when Lent finishes. I want to try and implant as a creative, a proper business day routine, so sitting at my desk at 9am to do work for 4 hours as if I was  paid to do so. I know auditions etc get in the way but the idea of a 4 hour per day focused work when I am not on set seduces me into the idea that I would get letters sent out, be more on top of everything, keep up to date with everything such as chasing expenses etc. Currently by the time I sit down to do work; after a late night, breakfast and possibly the gym it is often lunchtime and then I have to dash out an hour later. Ryan says what you focus on is what improves so cultivate and build habits that take you where you want to go is a much more positive place than the negativity of giving things up to improve your life. For example in the gym don’t think that you hate your body so you have to be in the gym to lose fat but to be there to do more pressups, getting stronger etc. So  Ryan, when he gave up smoking instead of giving up, he tried to make his mission instead to build great health so juicing veg and going for longer walks. I talk of the joy of being free and louche, on set filming last week with wine glass in hand and cigarette in the other, it is fun to be free without boundaries but I do know that the good habits are the way forward. (I don’t actually smoke but my character did and having that cigaretter dangling whilst I was suitably made up as a woman in the 1950s felt very decadent!)  After many years of giving up things for Lent maybe I won’t give up anything but start something instead. Ryan says Don’t deny yourself but cultivate what you need more of to get what you want. If you want to build a great client base, rather than look at what to stop doing, maybe take a new course or look at what has got you great results. Ask what works Do more of what works that gets you the results you want. What can you add to your life and to your toolbox to cultivate what you want (For example I know if I learnt to touchtype properly it would help.) I got an iPad finally after years of wanting one but not seeing why I needed one and I was on set  filming a commercial last week. I had a scene at 10am and then not one til 6pm as there was a change of location, so I could just grab my iPad from my handbag and do lots of work, so now I can grab moments to be more productive.

Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript) We talk about the beginning of autumn and back to school. This is a great time to set big goals as we all are ready to ‘get back to school’, we have had summer to rest and have fun. Ask what do you need to learn now to forward your creative careers? What do you need to learn to help you get there? Set up goals and how best to set up your daily work ethic. The more we can schedule self care, exercise and time to create, then we can really move things. Also focus People can be very busy doing things that do not get them jobs or income. Look at your schedule, are you actively got time to write X letters per week to get work, to meet casting directors, networking. The definition of networking ‘ who knows who you are and what you do’ It is easy to talk about how busy you are but Ryan asks what are the end results. If none of the things you are doing are not bringing in work or results. Busy-ness is not necessarily productive. You can be busy writing your book but not doing any marketing to sell the last one Freelancers should be spending 25% of their time looking for their next job, this is something I got from a FEU workshop. I need to either do a day a week working on the marketing or 25% of each day. Ryan says ‘you market now to get results in 6 months, you can’t expect instant results’ Ryan says a lot of his clients say ‘I have done this amazing thing but not many people are looking at it” . It is very important to make marketing a priority, the first strategy is make promotion a priority. In the coaching world people will read your material for 3-6 months before buying material. If you are stuck and not getting the results you want, look at black and white cold hard facts and ask ‘How much are you actually marketing?’ Working smarter not harder and study really helps there, we need often new techniques or to get better. I am realising how I need to keep moving in a mental space. I am having new projects moving in, I need to rest and yet I have stopped working on my Londontown track. I now feel I have a stone that is no longer rolling, it is easier to push one that is moving, I am not pushing that creative project and I need to minimise my sense of guilt. Ryan says in an ideal world I would be able to focus 100%, and work 24 hours a day but it is not possible and very important to replace a sense of guilt with an awareness that my song is still applicable to market and sell, nothing had disappeared. I have been clearer with saying no to some people, although I have yet to say to people ‘sorry I cant help as I need some me time!’ On self care I am back down the gym, taking my script onto the treadmill. So I use the focused time without Facebooking to learn my script whilst doing cardio. I have also stopped blogging and podcasting late at night and getting off the internet at a reasonable time. What does the word ‘should’ mean – Ryan has a module ‘Stop shoulding all over yourself’ He says the word ‘should’ makes you or another creative wrong, a quote by Louise Hay – she gets you to make a should list and replace it with either ‘I choose to’ or ‘I could chose to do it if I want to’ If you are going to do affirmations, it is really important for you to use words that your brain recognises, so not alien language or terms. Ryan says he never has heard the word ‘should; used in a positive sense. I quote Georgina Sowerby who says if you have the word ‘should’ in a sentence, it means you need to find another way of doing it.
