Do you find yourself saying…
You are an unorganized, tired mess.
There aren’t enough hours in the day.
I’ll never be fit.
I never get anything done on time.
When you continually tell yourself that you can’t do something or that you aren’t ‘that type of person’, you start to believe it.
Who comes to mind when you think of someone that has it together? The woman across the aisle who is beautiful, calm, stylish and has all the latest gadgets? The man who runs a company, is 27 years old, has a perfectly-behaved dog and an immaculate house even though he travels 3 days a week? There is no Superman. There is no Superwoman.
My schedule is crap. I have no time to exercise.
I have back to back meetings all day. Meditation is not an option.
People will think I’m weird.
I wear (insert here) high heels, a suit, glasses, underwear. The excuses are endless.
A lot of people have crap schedules but you can still find opportunities to move.
Does this describe you? You are slave to air traffic delays. You drive around to meet with clients at different locations. You never know when/where lunch will be and what time you’ll be home. How do you develop habits when you don’t have a routine?
The longest thread I’ve had to schedule appointments online was eight. A 30-minute appointment with a back and forth eight times. Ridonculous. There’s a better way that doesn’t require an assistant, loads of cash or your brainspace.
A common theme among many of my clients is that they need or are close to needing a Virtual Assistant but aren’t sure which type, what they would do with them if they had them and if they will also buy their groceries.
Need some inspiration for five minute energy breaks? Step away from that task list. Whether you’re stuck sitting or you can stand up, I’ve recorded some vids on the fly to give you some inspiration to put down the soda, breathe and move.
Do you create a list for your job but not your health? Is it because you’re such a health hero that you don’t need reminded? Well, kudos to you Superhero! I’ve been focusing on my health for 21 years and I still have to remind myself just to breathe.
We exercise, we philosophize, we accessorize and we may even incentivize. But how many of you listicize?
A short, twice-monthly note with at least one practical tip you can use that day, built around doing the right things first.
