WOW! Ok, so my lesson for this week… self care!
Let me explain. So this week things have been crazy, with interviews coming out of my ears- which I love, (I can’t wait to share these, there are some seriously amazing women out there rocking it!), doing the house up and trying to generally get things ready as we head into season 2 launch date ( 1st May 2017 in case you were wondering !) Anyhow, here’s what happened…
I set myself WAY too many goals for the week
You’re supposed to set no more than 3 right? I KNOW! but us entrepreneur types do love a challenge and in the spirit of challenges I thought I’d go full throttle so I set myself 7 big ones, which is just crazy.
Then…
I threw my morning routine out of the window in a rush to start the day. How did this look?
No porridge for breakfast ( you should eat a good breakfast)
No positive and inspirational Podcast shows to kick me off ( seriously if you don’t start your day with something positive and inspiring, then start now and thank me later, you can thank me by subscribing to the show)
No time to spent clearing my head and generally mentally preparing for the day, getting clear on things ( Kinda like meditation, but I know some of you don’t like that word)
and of course… no exercise, I don’t have time for that!
I got no sleep…
I thought I’d change the end of my day, after all sleep’s for losers! I can sleep when i’m dead!
The result?
Did I get everything done? NOPE
Instead, I ended the week with a terrible, stinking cold and just frustrated. Mainly because I know it’s my own darn fault!
In summary, however much you have to do…
1. Set fewer goals
Focus is key and with fewer goals you’ll much more easily be able to and focus on them and achieve them. Too much and you won’t know whether your coming or going.
2. Practice Self care
Listen to the experiences of Mel Noakes the Self Care Coach on the Podcast (Episode 4/ SOS004) and check out how she could help here
3. Start your day with Inspiration !
However you do it, this will make a huge difference to your day and your ultimate success. You can check out some inspiration on Instagram, read some pages of a book that inspires you, listen to a TED talk or listen to a podcast that you love. This was, your start the day in the right mid set, which counts for everything.
4. Exercise !
I know it’s tempting to keep working as we all want to get TONS of SH**T done, but get active, in the end it’s so worth it -you can hear about the amazing life changing success that the Zesty Lady Rachel McGuinness had here and see what she did next.
If you do this, you’re much more likely to be able to build an amazing and successful business and stay sane and fabulous in the process!
