Getting Through the Mid-Day Slump

What do you do in the middle of the day to get the blood pumping and energy flowing?




How do you get through the mid-day slump?

Here are a few things I do.  As a solo-preneur (and leader of the team of ME) I need to refocus and get the afternoon off to a great start so that I can stay productive...or if meeting with clients and prospects, stay focused and present with them.

1. I take a few minutes to review my afternoon agenda and the next day too.  This helps me to see where I am at, what is left to accomplish and most importantly, see how much I have done so far.
2. I add in or delete whatever is necessary because some things tend to pop up that need to be dealt with immediately. I feel the sense of accomplishment...get psyched for what is next and jump right in.
3. If I don' t feel totally ready, I walk outside for some fresh air, or grab a green tea and then get moving.  I find that walking away from my desk (or car) to stretch and breathe gets me re-energized.

If all else fails, I pick up the phone and call a good friend or colleague and ask for help to get back on track....this helps to eliminate any mental blocks I may be having....talking it through gets the job done.

How do you get through the mid-day slump?  What do you do to avoid the slump completely?

So What.

It is time to ask the magic question about the year that was. So what?


So what happened?

What was good?

What was not so good?

So what are you going to do differently?

So what are you going to avoid?

So what? What came of your accomplishments?

So what. It is true when you put it that way. So what .
Did you make a difference to someone or something? So what. Are you proud of where you are today? Do you know where you are going tomorrow? And how are you going to commit to it?

Ask yourself the So What question as you set your goals for 2012.  Let's share our goals, or even one goal so that we can offer support for each other.

Attitude is everything - I am sure that you have heard that so many times.  I goes with hiring the right attitude because you can teach that person whatever is necessary to do the job.  The attitude we take towards ourselves and the world around us, makes all the difference to our success and accomplishment.  Naoleon Hill says it well when he says:

"Have respect for the world that gives you opportunities. Let your attitude reflect that respect."

Take care of the world and those within it, it ill continue to give you opportunities, what you do with those opportunities is completely up to you.
