Your Cart is Empty
Hi Team...
I hope the first week of February was a winner for you...
Over the last two weeks though, I have noticed a theme: FATIGUE.
Fatigue is a motivation killer. And, we can often get fatigued from being in our own heads too much, too long, too frequently.
As I get to coach teams and individuals around the World, it is a common theme I am hearing and seeing... yet, it is too early, yet too common this time of year.
Coach, it is only February!
Yes- and how we feel in February is the result of January...
Some people put so much pressure on themselves to start the year well- that they over work.. they push themselves to their limits and as a result, come February, they are smoked, tired, fatigued, burnt-out, not feeling creative or ambitious, and needing a recharge...
Think of your life as a plate.
If you see space on the plate, most likely, after eating you will not get full.
But, if your plate is filled to the brim, and piled 4 inches high, your plate and you are at capacity. Most likely, you will feel shot after eating and will want to do nothing else but rest... and fall into a deep slumber..
Look at the plate as you and your work capacity...
We can only take on too much...
We all have a certain capacity..
If we pile on even a little more when we have a full plate- things start falling off the plate and onto the floor...
Got it?
I don't want that for you...
You should not want that either...
So, if you are somebody living in a state of reactive, overwhelm, it is time to start asking yourself:
What is on my plate?
Does it need to be there?
But most importantly, ask yourself:
What are the few things I need to do each day to be great?
And when you figure that out, you will have simplified your life, your thoughts, and increased your effectiveness...
As a result, it will calm you and your over-active mind....
Most leaders deal with a racing mind...
Always thinking, calculating, projecting and forecasting....
That happens because we are always working to protect ourselves... and our downside...
Think about that: You are doing it to PROTECT yourself...
That indicates you are not feeling safe in some way...
When you get to the root of "why" you feel unsafe- then, the calm sets in and you can begin to operate from a place of passion and freedom vs. pressure and stress.
Got it?
More to come on this next week....
Let's go...
Win Today.
