Does this past year feel like Groundhog Day? In my webinars, I ask my guests to share how they are feeling using a scale of 1-5. 1 is blah, 3 is okay and 5 is great. They quickly type a number in the chat. Then I ask them what word(s), feeling or emotion go with that number. Guests will type words such as terrible, tired, okay, and optimistic and in most of my webinars someone will type “Groundhog Day.” Groundhog Day meaning they are feeling like they are
repeating the same day over and over again.
If you have watched and love (Like I do!) the 1993 classic movie, Groundhog Day, you will know that Bill Murray was forced to live the same day over and over again. At the start of the movie, Bill is an unhappy, unkind man and is very upset about living the same day over and over again. Then he slowly realizes that his days are going to stay the same, so he decides to change. He invests in himself a little bit each day and starts to become a happier, kinder
person. Without spoiling the movie for you, it ends with him transforming himself into a better person.
If you feel like this past year has been Groundhog Day, could you change that? What if you invested in yourself, a little bit each day, so when all of this is over, you will be a better version of you? Once my webinar guests answer the 1-5 question and enter a word or words associated with the number they chose, I ask them one more question, “Why? Why are you feeling what you are feeling and what are YOU going to do to make a little change each day so you will be
a better you when this is all over?”
Cheers to breaking out of your Groundhog Day!
