3 Keys to an Awesome Week

Tomorrow is the start of a new day, week, month, and year (cue the opening music from Friends).  It's a perfect time to make some changes...here are three small things you can do to kick off what could be an awesome year:

#1. No more snooze.  Seriously, you set the alarm for a specific time for a certain reason.  Grit your teeth and get feet to the floor as soon as the alarm goes off in the morning.

#2. Read for 10 minutes...longer than usual.  If you typically read for an hour a day, then this is such a small addition.  If you don't read hardly at all, then this is a huge step, but one you will not regret.  Read in the morning (since you wont be hitting the snooze button), lunchtime, or whenever.  Get it done.

#3. Practice focused breathing.  Set a timer for two minutes.  Get comfortable.  Close your eyes.  Focus on the inhale and the exhale.  Ignore everything else going on around you...just don't try this while you're driving.  My preference is to take 3-4 minutes around lunchtime...I find that it helps to stay relaxed, calm, but also focused in the afternoon.

​Have an awesome week!
