Change up your day with these 7 steps that will have you on your way to greatness:
- Find your optimum body clock and stick to a structured sleep regime, i.e go to bed daily at 8.30 pm with daily starts of 4.30am (trial it for 7 days it’s life changing)
- Exercise daily min 60 min no matter what, gym, yoga, run. I walk when I’m time poor and line up all my client calls to do during this time
- Trade 30 minutes social media time each day (yes we are all spending a lot more time on it) to read a book – preferably something that inspires or soothes
- Set an intention for each day in the written form. For me, it’s a productivity focus, or to be inspiration to others or to show up as being present in all engagements (let your intention be the theme for your day) – mix it up and try different ones each day but always set an intention
- Be a giver of significance to others, learn your barista’s name and use it! Compliment a colleague, acknowledge people in meaningful/small ways that are authentic, be generous with praise. We are in a world of people starving for significance.
- Practice a ritual- something you do 3 times per week, that you are passionate about, that you can improve in skill – i.e. art class, yoga training, something creative. Having a ritual will bring you greater certainty in your life when times are wobbly
- Actively practice gratitude (it’s a currency) write down what you are grateful for on bits of paper and store them in a jar, shoe box, or on your iPhone. The more actively you practice gratitude the greater you will feel.
