Perspective

It was a full day ahead with client meetings, prospecting, networking and speaking at an event. I had forgotten to turn on my ringer and was driving off to my first appointment when a call came through to my car. It was my husband – he was frantic. He had been trying to get a hold of me for 20 minutes. He had just had a major car accident on the busiest freeway in the area during rush hour. All of the sudden the day and world shifted. My perspective changed from hustling about the appointments of the day to realizing that life is precious and we had just been granted a miracle.

Accidents happen every day. We may take for granted that we make it through a day in safety. This particular day my wonderful husband’s life was spared as he side swiped a semi-truck and hit two other cars. It was a miracle that no one was hurt as there were maintenance workers on the side of the freeway changing equipment from one truck to another. This distraction on the side of the road took my husbands eye from being forward and when he looked away traffic had come to an almost standstill.

What is your perspective? Keeping your eyes forward will get you to your end goal. Keeping your mind and energy from distractions becomes a lifelong journey. Perspective can change and shift without notice. Are you happy with what your perspective is today? We each have the power to change our mind, world and energy. It is possible and imperative for each one of us to live the life we desire.

I am grateful for life and especially for the life of my loved ones. Thank you for being a part of my journey and sharing your perspective with me.

Focus in the moment

My beautiful Summer

Twenty-four years ago I gave birth to a beautiful six pound 13 ounce little girl. While delivering my baby girl my focus was in the moment. Nothing could have swayed that focus or diverted my attention. One of the common themes I find in meeting with my clients is the desire and need to focus. I love working with inspirational individuals that push me to be better.

These are some of the steps I have implemented and find that helps me to accomplish more than I thought possible.

1. Set aside time to plan. This step is critical. By doing so it allows for a mind dump. It’s like cleaning out and reorganizing a drawer. When you do so you can find things faster and it opens up space for being creative.

2. Set the timer. Setting a timer on specific tasks allows me to focus on what I need to do at that moment. This is especially important when utilizing social media. By doing this I am creating more discipline and at the end of the day feel like I accomplished more.

3. Turning off the bells and ringers while working on a specific task. I have found that if I turn off email while I’m working on a project be it an hour or three then I’m less distracted and can really focus in the moment. The same holds true for turning my phones to silent during the assigned period.

4. Take breaks. I worked with an incredible Chief Operating Officer who demanded that we each take a full hour lunch break. He led by example. This simple habit created more clarity for the rest of the afternoon. I find that if I have been working for two or three hours and haven’t stretched my legs or gotten a drink of water that I begin to fade in my energy level. Even taking that 10-minute break and focusing on breathing or laughing is a great boost to mental clarity and focus.

5. Create routines and stick to them. You will sleep better if you strive to get to bed and get up at the same time everyday. Planning out and using your calendar will keep you on task and focused. You can always mix it up it is your choice.

Being focused in the moment does not have to be hard. In fact it is liberating. Your energy will generate faster and your mind will be clearer.

Focus in the moment is one of the answers to fulfilling all of your goals and creating a winning edge mindset.
