Do you have too much 'buzz' going through your mind to truly do justice to the nectar that provides the joy in your business and life? Recently I've had a couple of insightful conversations with my sweetheart around our capacity to fit even more in than we already do, as well as minimising our stress levels. Sounds crazy but we are both high achievers and don't want to waste a second of our lives... here's the strategy we came up with:
1. We have an 8.30am 'essentials' conversation each morning where we make a commitment to accomplishing the most important three things on our respective lists. (This delivers focus and a sense of priorities, as well as a feeling of support for each other.)
2. We are choosing to be totally present and aware in whatever we are doing. No more multi-tasking... or working and pretending we're not when we are supposed to be enjoying some chillout time!! Rest is rest. Adventures are adventures. Business is business. The key to a joyful life and productive businesses is being totally present with whichever one we are doing at the time and generating so much more from that totally present space of energy and consciousness.
3. Taking some time to ask more questions around 'What else is possible?' and 'What else can we add to our lives?'... and then planning to have what we desire - more time with the kids, more holidays and long weekends, more creativity and better health, more revenue in the businesses by focusing on actions that generate money!
What do you do that gives you a buzz and makes the quality of your life infinitely better?
