My good friend Judith Morgan has been blog tagged again. This time by her top Tech Coach Sandra de Freitas. Judith didn't actually tag me this time - i suspect this is because I didn't join in last time. Hey, I was moving house! Anyway, I've tagged myself this time and am ready to play...
My 5 things I do nearly every day to be successful are:
1. I eat with nutrition in mind. Eg. Breakfast is a low carb, high protein, high omega affair. Typically, fresh berries, mango or apple with a combination of nuts, seeds (particularly ground linseeds), spices and organic, natural bio yoghurt. This sets me up beautifully for the day - keeps my blood sugar and energy levels steady and reminds me daily of the importance of loving myself and caring for my body accordingly.
2. I connect with the Universe. I take time to appreciate all the good things in my life. I thank it out loud and when things happen that 'appear' to be 'not good', I remind myself that 'everything is perfect' and have total faith that something fantastic is on its way. I look at and read my visualisation and affirmation tools that are displayed around my work space, I read my daily Notes from the Universe from Mike Dooley's TUT and I keep The Secret in mind at all times.
3. I get busy in blogging and other social media communities. If I don't post on my own blog, I at least read, comment and connect with other bloggers. I use MyBlogLog, Ryze, MySpace, EuroCoachList and LinkedIn.
4. I archive, without reading, all emails that are not of immediate interest or importance. I label and file all client emails as soon as they arrive and only deal with them when my scheduled tasks are completed. (This scares me a bit, but its the only way I can keep on top of things and not get sidetracked!)
5. I no longer stress over it if I'm struggling to focus. I take action to change it by either lighting a vanilla candle/burning vanilla oil. (For some reason, this really ups my productivity levels. Anyone know why this might be?) or by heading to the sea where I either just sit and think and give thanks or journal and mindmap over a cup of coffee. Chandlers in Penarth is the current favourite spot for the latter. Ogmore or Southerdown for the former. Upon my return, things always flow again.
What about you?...
