KEY TAKEAWAYS
A great way to get back to your optimum energy levels is by detoxing and clearing out your body’s system. Cutting down things like caffeine, and increasing the clean foods we eat and drink are a great place to start. Don't forget what’s most important to you. Whether that’s health or family or friends, choose what your main priority in life is. What comes before everything else. How productive you are is a choice. Manage your time! You have enough time. You have to get your focus right. If you’re becoming overwhelmed then learn to leverage. Every single week, give yourself two or three hours to strategise, reflect and plan. Don’t use family time for this. Treat it is a work pursuit so use work time. Work on how you can motivate yourself. Plan your whole year in advance - Everything from family holidays to big events such as school holidays, start dates etc. Make sure you mark special days well in advance. It’s important to be as present as possible for memorable family milestones. Crucial business engagements, too, need to be planned ahead so as to give you family and work balance. Look after your body and your mind. Pressure and challenges are fine, and can serve you well. But make sure you’re doing the things that drive your performance. Eat nourishing food. Drink water. Sleep. Exercise. Meditate. All these things will make you feel better mentally and physically. Make your work your passion. If it’s at all possible, then do everything you can to make the thing you love, the thing that makes you prosper. It’s not possible for everyone, but if you see your chance then take it!
