Leaders understand that the real fight is the fight against time. There is always so much to achieve, innovate and influence. And yet so few hours in a day.
What is the solution? Well, for starters, get up earlier. That way you have your day - versus your day having you!
I was up early this am to conquer my day. One of the gifts I give myself is journaling and looking at whats important in my life. That includes looking at whats important for getting the results that I want in my life!
I thought it might be helpful to you if I shared what I do to keep my life productive. So here you have my tips to a top notch day....
1. I try to workout daily. This dramatically drives energy levels. You'll feel more inspired. And you'll need less sleep. Take some time everyday to get out of your head and into your body.
2. A massage each week. This isn't an expense - it's an investment in your full creative expression, productivity, passion and sustained excellent health. And you'll find you need far less sleep to get the rest you need.
3. Take an hour a day to journal or meditate. Use 60 minutes of your morning from 6-7 am and GET INSPIRED! Read superb books. Write about your hopes, goals and dreams. Say your mantras. Then hit the gym. You'll start feeling so good and energetic, and getting up early will be effortless.
4. Meditation. I find that 30 minutes of meditation in the morning clears out my mind. And fills me with more clarity and less worry. Also, I sleep more deeply and need less sleep. Review your vision board prior to your mediation. Be grateful for the greatness in your life.
5. Remember The 40 Day Rule. Any new practice will feel foreign, stressful and hard for the first 40 days as you re-pattern. Stick with the 6 am rise. Have the courage and persistence to get this habit installed. After 40 days, you'll have a new protocol in place that - I promise you - will boost your leadership and pour far more passion/success/happiness into every area of your life.
You are worth it!
