Make EVERY Day Count
We all have one incredible thing in common: We are each given 168 hours
every week to do what we please, to create and share our world, to make
choices that decide our future and to fill our hearts with what makes
them beat with excitement.
My goal is to end each day with the satisfaction of knowing that it was
well spent. I want to be able to sit back and know that I contributed to
something bigger than myself.
Here are 5 tips to help you get more out of each day:
1. Set morning intentions. Spend 10 minutes setting your intentions for
the day. What 3 things will you absolutely do that day? Sometimes
intentions can shift throughout the day; when things become busy or
stressful, reconnect with your intentions and focus.
2. Live your values. What do you value most in this world? Family?
Security? Balance? Creativity? We all value something different – and
these values can change weekly, even daily. However, where we spend our
time is a direct reflection of what we value in life. Spend time each day
on the things that matter most to you.
3. Sleep well. Research shows that we should get 8 hours of sleep each
night. When you’re well-rested, you have greater focus, a better
attention span and accomplish more.
4. Create time for important relationships. When we don’t fully listen in
our relationships, we’re actually stealing time from them. How often do
we nod our heads in agreement with absolutely no idea what our valued
friend just said? Be engaged in the moment and in the conversation. When
others see that you care enough to listen, you will see the relationship
blossom.
5. Research and revise, if needed. There are some amazing resources and a
whole industry centered on how to be a better, brighter YOU. Take
advantage of the information age that we now live in, and investigate.
What type of support do you need? We’re all different. What energizes
you? Time and energy go hand in hand. If what you’re doing right now
doesn’t energize you, change it.
I love to see agents who are not only productive and making strides in
their careers but also living life to the fullest. That “all work and no
play” thing is very real. It’s wonderful when we can find a happy balance
that fuels a great life. I wish that for you as well!
Have a great week!
Something to Think About
Why do some people seem to have a perfectly balanced life, while others
are always late, never prepared and typically run around in a panic?
Sometimes the biggest secret isn’t that they’re moving at warp speed;
rather, it’s that they take the time to evaluate what they need and put
those things in place to streamline their days and take care of
themselves. Sound advice, don’t you think? Weekly Challenge We all have
people in our lives who always seem to keep it all together; they remain
balanced and stay calm no matter the situation. What’s their secret?
Reach out this week to someone who appears to have it all together, and
ask him/her to share the secret. Don’t be surprised if the person has the
same challenges that you have. Be prepared to share a few of your
secrets, as well.
