Hi, I'm Terrie Power.

The fastest way to get back on track may not be what you think.

A reboot isn't about starting over.

Terrie Power Coaching

…

Last week I introduced the idea of a Reboot, Update, or Restore.

Several of you reached out after reading the blog, and one question kept coming up:

"Okay...but where do I start?"

My answer is probably simpler than you're expecting.

When we feel out of rhythm, we tend to think we need to fix everything. We start making long lists, creating new routines, or convincing ourselves that this time we're finally going to do it all.

I've been there too.

But after years of coaching, I've noticed something.

Meaningful progress usually doesn't begin with a complete overhaul. It begins by returning to one thing that was already helping.

This week, instead of trying to change everything, choose one rhythm to bring back.

Maybe it's:

  • Planning your week before Monday arrives.
  • Taking a morning walk.
  • Writing down your top three priorities.
  • Spending ten quiet minutes with your coffee before the day begins.
  • Ending your workday at a consistent time.

That's your reboot.

Simple.

Intentional.

Doable.

Your Challenge This Week

Choose one rhythm and protect it for the next seven days.

Don't worry about doing it perfectly.

Just notice what changes when you give one good habit a little attention.

You might be surprised how much momentum one small step can create.

If you're still wondering where to begin, I'd love to help.

Schedule a Momentum Conversation, and together we'll discover your next right step.

Speaking of Working Genius...

One of the things I love about the Working Genius assessment is that it reminds us we don't all reboot the same way.

If your genius is Wonder, you're probably asking, "Is this still the right direction?"

If your genius is Invention, you've already come up with three new ideas before finishing your coffee.

If your genius is Discernment, you're quietly sorting through what should stay and what should go.

If your genius is Galvanizing, you're thinking, "Okay...who's ready to get started?"

If your genius is Enablement, you've probably helped someone else get organized before looking at your own calendar.

If your genius is Tenacity, you're ready to roll up your sleeves and start checking things off.

None of those responses are better than the others.

They're simply different ways we're wired to approach our work.

Work with your strengths, not against them.

Have a wonderful week!

Terrie

P.S. If you missed last week's blog, I'd love for you to read it. It will help you discover whether you need a Reboot, an Update, or a Restore, so you can stop guessing and start moving forward with confidence.

Choose It Again Terrie Power Coaching … I believe there is something powerful about looking at a goal you almost abandoned and choosing it again. Not because the year went according to plan. Not because you suddenly have more time, energy, or certainty. Because it still matters. I have two big goals left this year. My business goal is going well, but it will not happen accidentally. Reaching it will require focus, excitement, and actions that support where I want to go. My health goal has...

Check the Dashboard Terrie Power Coaching … You almost blamed the wrong thing If the check-engine light came on in your car, would you yell at the car to try harder? Probably not. You would not turn on a motivational podcast, press harder on the gas, and tell the car it must not want the destination badly enough. That would be ridiculous. Yet I have basically done this to myself. Something feels harder than expected, and instead of asking what changed, I assume I need more discipline. Wake up...

The Task Before the Task Terrie Power Coaching … My house is cleaner because I did not want to write this email. There. I said it. Every time I thought about sitting down to write, my brain offered another idea. I can do it later. The house needs attention. It is too hot to think. At one point, I was not even cleaning. I was just staring. The funny part is that I wanted to write the email. But before I could write it, I had to make several decisions about September. That was the task hiding...
