Personal Time

Do you take time for yourself?
Make sure that you have plenty of personal time so that you can regroup and find focus. If you never take the time to stop and do something that you enjoy, you’re going to lose sight of the things that are important in both your personal and your professional life. Make a list of the things that you enjoy doing and try to do at least one or two of them every week.
Find activities that are going to help you relax and take time to breathe. Unplugging doesn’t always have to take hours out of your day. Simply taking the time for a walk after lunch or stopping to play with your dog is a great way to unplug for a few minutes. It will help you relax and will clear your mind for a short time so that you can think clearly.
Another method of relaxation that you might want to consider is visualization. Visualization is a great technique for relaxing while at the same time reaffirming your goals and dreams.
No matter what you decide to do in your personal time make sure that you understand the importance of making time to relax and enjoy the things that you like doing.
Action steps for today …
Jot down on your calendar a time slot each day for at least a 5 to 10 minute personal break away from your normal daily activities. Try to include a break every 2 hours. It will help clear your mind and you will ultimately be more production.
