Achieve Freedom Through Reality Checks
How should a self-coaching action plan begin? Donna recommends asking thought-provoking “reality check questions” so that you can pause and gain insight into your current decisions or situations. These questions may relate to growth and development or accountability with the following:
Effectively achieve your goals in a career or household
Hold yourself accountable in a conflict situation
Contribute constructively to conversations or negotiations
A grip on reality also prevents us from saying something in the heat of the moment that may come back to haunt us.
Don’t Let Fear Control You
One of Donna’s most widely discussed self-coaching tips relates to gaining control over a spirit of fear. Could the unrealistic anticipation of negative consequences stop you from taking significant steps in life? Absolutely, because false expectations can appear real the more you entertain them.
Strive to understand your hidden abilities and unique talents. Can you find ways to be more conscious of how fear dictates your daily decisions? A breakthrough in this area will silence limiting beliefs so that you can confidently take decisive action, even as you face uncertainty.
Stop Resisting Change
Human beings stubbornly resist change because they are more comfortable with what they know. That’s why so many people choose painful circumstances over healthy changes. Donna’s self-coaching strategy for embracing change starts with making incremental shifts instead of dramatic transformation.
Ask yourself, “What is the one small thing I can do today to improve my situation?” Small steps lead to real, lasting improvements and pave the way for meaningful personal growth.
Don’t Let Your Inner Critic Be Your Roadblock to Success
Can you learn how to prevent feelings of shame, self-doubt, and low self-confidence? Yes. Learning to redirect your inner critic makes room for success.
The strategy involves the following:
Recognizing your inner voice
Changing your reaction and behavior when you start to spiral
Implementing healthy strategies to deal with people who trigger feelings of worthlessness and more

The G.R.I.P. Method
G.R.I.P. stands for "Greatness Requires Intention & Purpose," and many who have followed this method can attest to that. This strategy helps people find their goals, inspirations, and visions and execute them with clear intentions through planning, purpose, and integrity. It works with science and psychology to make dreams a reality.
It is a roadmap that guides you through struggles and hardships, with the final destination being the life you want to lead or the changes you wish to make. The G.R.I.P. Method offers a plan to go from fear to freedom and helps you break away from where past attempts did not work.
