Fake it till you become it. ~ Amy Cuddy ~
Some days you just don't feel it. Try. Try, anyway. Even if it's just a little effort, don't slack off. Be honest with yourself and then lie to yourself. Tell yourself that you are engaged - just do something because people are counting on you. You can have an off day - just don't show it to the world. Have a confidant because you might need someone to vent to but leave it at that and go change the world...even if you don't feel like it today.
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 make myself feel more engaged."
Scientific research supports the need for meditation to improve leadership abilities. Utilize this blog to help guide you in meditation for better self-awareness, stress relief, innovation and productivity. Be vocal and transparent in your practice and encourage those that you lead to follow your example. Do this - and you will transform your organization.
For best results:
Find a quite place and at least 5 to 15 minutes of time for reflection.
