“You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.” ~ Henry Ford ~
Some days it's just hard to get going. During the lazy days of summer you just want to be outside relaxing by a pool, lake or ocean. Stop day dreaming! Taking time for yourself is important so make sure you do it - just don't overindulge! Find a good rhythm for work and play. Use play as your reward for getting things done that will build your dreams. Lower your stress by just getting to it. Great leaders will use play to balance out work but never in place of work. Think about how great you will feel and how much more relaxed you will be if you just get a few things done before you spend time with family or friends.
1. Close your eyes
2. Breathe
3. Empty your mind
4. As thoughts come in, acknowledge and whisk them away
5. Focus on your breathing
6. Think about the affirmation:
I will use play as a reward for smart work.
