Lucky #7
Sometimes it feels like a cold hard world. Everyone else out there is so unreasonable, unmovable, and impossible to deal with. In 7 days you can change this.
7 Day Shift
Leaders, you need time for yourself. And the best part? You don't need as much time as you think. Usually we feel like quitting for external reasons. When I've wanted to quit, it's usually because I feel like those around me aren't "with" me, or that I'm not making the progress I want. Or those around me aren't moving as quickly as I'd like to see. Or I'm just not getting results, profit, or support. Those feelings haven't hit me in a long time and the reason why is simple. Energy ... I protect the amount of energy I can put into anything vigilantly. I protect my energy right away in the morning - by NOT turning on my phone. I don't look at any electronics for one hour. Instead I spend 10 minutes reading, thinking, and writing great thoughts. Then 1 minute focusing on what my intent is for the day - why am I here TODAY. Finally, I move my body in the direction of that intent by spending 30 minutes exercising. I listen to positive thoughts (audio books and podcasts mostly) while doing this. Then, and only then, am I armed to go after the day. I've asked several entrepreneurs who are struggling to try this ritual for just seven days and see how they feel. Without fail, all of them go from talking about why "others" are in their way to at the end of this week talking about what they can do to better control their efforts, outputs, and reactions. Try it ... in seven days you'll find a brand new gear. Make it a great day,Govindh@WiseNapkin
