Three weeks ago, well 21 days to be exact, I started a new regime to start the day. The focus is on ensuring I have fed myself and have given to myself before giving to others and the day. Great concept and I am sure you have heard it before too.
Anyway, the activities for this regime appealed to me and seemed to be easily doable! They are drink water to rehydrate your body upon waking. I am drinking two big tumblers, so I guess that will be about 1.5 pints. Then start 20-25 minutes aerobic exercising (I have an exercise bike) followed by shower and breakfast. After breakfast do thirty minutes personal development followed by 5 minutes meditation just focussing upon your breathing. Then when you start work set the timer to work for 50 minutes followed by 10 minutes break – stretching and walking. Then another 50 minutes work followed by a longer break of 30 minutes. Now in these 50 minutes you work on your greatest opportunity without interruption and distraction (emails are a distraction!)
Now, I am a pretty focused person who can get through a lot of work but I was absolutely amazed at my increased output.
The interesting thing and what prompted me to write is with doing personal development activities on a daily basis my well being has increased, it seems exponentially. This week, I launched the business builder programme so it was apt to revise my goals for the future. I used the process of creating SMART goals but with add emotional punch. Adding emotion to the goal means it is not just a head goal but invokes my emotion and hence my unconscious will step into action to create ways to achieve the goal.
I have even noticed that when I think about my goals when exercising my heart rate decreases – wow! Isn’t that fantastic?
My reading for today lead my to the following and seems so apt when we are working at developing our businesses, getting clients:
Quit Waiting
It’s time to quit waiting for
Perfection
Inspiration
Permission
Reassurance
Someone to change
The right person to come along
The kids to leave home
A more favourable horoscope
More money before I can do…
An absence of risk
Someone to discover you
A clear set of instructions
More self confidence
The pain to go away
Yet, by taking action we create the conditions where we are reassured, increase our confidence and feel better about ourselves.
What are you going to do today?

Karen, this makes inspiring reading. I am following my own regime right now and buzzing though it's not as full-on as yours.
You've made me realise I could step it up a notch or two and probably feel even better and progress more quickly.
Well done and thanks!
