Take Action Every Day

Unlock Your Potential: Shift from Thinking to Doing with a 7-Day Action Sprint

Hey there, high-achiever! If you've been following along with our Spirit section in the MB&S Coaching Series, you know we've been diving deep into transforming your life. Last week's challenge had you curating fun and inspirational images to build digital vision boards on every screen you touch daily. How did that feel? Did those visuals start sparking some inner fire?

In the LIFEonomics Coaching Methodology, we expand on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs by identifying three universal states of human existence that echo across wisdom traditions worldwide—from ancient philosophies to modern psychology. These levels cut through semantics and groupthink to reveal a clear path for personal growth and self-actualization. We'll unveil our full Map of the 3 Levels of Human Existence at the end of the Spirit section, but here's a simple breakdown to get you oriented:

1. Thinking (Thoughts & Words)

2. Doing (Action)

3. Being (Your ultimate destination in this journey)

Up to now, our challenges have focused on Level 1: Thinking. You've interviewed loved ones, reflected on what truly matters, and visualized your dreams through those vision boards. That's powerful foundational work—it's where clarity and mindset transformation begin. But here's the truth: Thoughts alone don't change lives. Action does.

Why Action is the Game-Changer: Backed by Stats

Did you know that 92% of New Year's resolutions fail because people stay stuck in planning mode without execution? (Source: University of Scranton study). Or that individuals who take consistent daily actions toward their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them? (Dominican University goal-setting research). These aren't just numbers—they're proof that shifting from thinking to doing is the unlock code for empowered living.

Procrastination costs the average person over 55 days a year in lost productivity (Psychology Today). Imagine reclaiming that time for joy, connection, and progress! This is where coaching for success shines: We don't just dream—we GSD (Get Stuff Done).

Your 7-Day Doing Sprint Challenge: Stop Thinking, Start Doing!

This week, we're cranking it up to Level 2: Doing. Say goodbye to overthinking and hello to the most fully engaged week of your life. This isn't about adding more to your plate—it's about intentional action that aligns with your core values and vision.

Step 1: Plan Like a Pro (30-60 Minutes)

Block out time right now. Grab your journal from previous challenges. Revisit:

• The people who are truly important to you.

• The activities that light you up.

• Your vision board images—what actions do they inspire?

Pro Tip for Personal Empowerment: Ask yourself, "What one action with [important person] would make my heart sing?" or "What task have I been avoiding that would skyrocket my energy?"

Step 2: Fill Your Week with ACTION!Schedule non-negotiable doing every day:

• Connect: Call that friend, plan a coffee date, or surprise a family member with quality time. (Stat: People with strong social ties live 50% longer—Harvard Grant Study.)

• Create: Tackle a hobby, start that side project, or finally organize your space.

• Move: Exercise, walk in nature, or dance like nobody's watching. (Bonus: 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly boosts mood by 30%—CDC data.)

• Produce: Knock out work tasks, learn a skill, or volunteer. Aim for productive flow that leaves you buzzing.

Make it a sprint: 7 days of relentless, joyful action. Track your wins daily in your journal to build momentum mastery.

Step 3: AAAAND…. ACTION!

No excuses. No perfection. Just start. Feel the rush of life transformation as you live fully in the Doing state.
