Shake Things Up!
All too often we find ourselves bogged down in the same old routine, doing the same things over and over. So if this sounds like you and you are waking up each day with a lack of energy or verve for your business and life then it is time to shake things up. Especially if you are finding yourself wanting to be anywhere else but work! Our business requires energy and dreams and passion to keep them going, so pay attention to your attitude and your energy level.
The repetitive habits and unchanging patterns that we engage in daily make us feel comfortable, and so we tend to stick to doing them. But sometimes these habits and patterns are not bringing us the results that we want and they can begin to lead to lethargy and a lack of excitement and passion for what we do. A change can be as effective as time off when it comes to rejuvenating yourself and increasing your productivity.
If you want to change the way you feel into a more energized feeling of excitement each time you get up to greet the day then read on and take action today!
Change It Up
Our daily tasks are often such a routine that we don’t even look to see if what we are doing is even working for us. And we often do them mindlessly, this impacts their effectiveness – remember whatever you put your attention on expands. So if you are mindlessly doing a marketing task and your attention and energy is not on that task then it is not infused with your intention or your energy. Becoming present while doing tasks can also have a refreshing result, be mindful and in the moment and observe how you feel when engaged in that task.
Change your day up by not doing the same thing each day, eat some place different, take a walk or drive around the streets near your business and look at it through fresh eyes. Drive up and enter your place of business looking at it as if you were a new client. Go visit another spa or clinic and experience how they handle their clients.
Meet New People
Are you surrounded by the same people day in and day out and are you having pretty much the same conversations? Shake it up – change it up!
Have new conversations, think outside of the box and invite others to join you there, most people love the challenge of something new, figuring out how to increase your new client base could be a great topic with your staff or the people that are supporting you in your business. Come up with funny and off the wall ideas to lighten things up and have fun. Meet new people with different interests; explore the groups and associations in your area that you never thought of joining. Step outside of your comfort zone and make new connections – it might be fun!
Enter Creative Space Dailey
When we are in the habit of repetitive actions and activities we often forget to make room for creativity and new ideas. Our lives take on a ho-hum routine because we don’t PLAN for inviting something different in. That’s why it’s so important to create space for yourself to think and play every day. This time could be a half hour with yourself in a favorite place, maybe in nature, maybe at your local coffee shop or in your tub at the end of the day, with lots of bubbles! You too guys – bubbles are so fun!
For me, it is sometimes just the play of surfing the internet and following interesting threads that spark new ideas. Often my best ideas come from my subconscious – before going to sleep I ask the universe to show me the answer to a question or an idea of how to achieve whatever is in front of me at the time.
Where do you get your best ideas? Our ideas can energize us and our business!
