Morning Mantra… To be more productive........we need to make room in our lives to relax and have fun. There is nothing that can replace hard work, to get the job done, but equally important is the notion that we bring balance back into our lives when we slow down and take a break. Our bodies are not meant to run infinitely without down time. We need to give our minds and bodies time to pause, so that we can replenish our energy and the goodness that fuels every day. Your ego will tell you that you need to run on adrenalin and be involved in everything but it is impossible to mine the goodness around you when you have a finger in every pie. It is said that the best leaders recognize that they are only as good as the people around them; but it is not just about having good people around you, it is about utilizing them and valuing them so that they optimize what is possible. When we give in to running on adrenalin, then we begin to look for quick fixes, and short cuts on important issues. Do not let adrenalin become your energy source......manage your energy and take a break every now and then. Who knows if you leave everyone for a brief pause you may just come back to a genius idea. Robin Sharma said Spending all your time working will not make you more productive. In my experience, few people get their best ideas at work. I invite you take a moment to think about that......checking your email messages every 60 seconds will not make you more effective. Burning the candle at both ends doesnt tap into your natural pool of creativity. I get my best ideas when Im relaxed and having fun. You need to make space for your genius to flow. Taking 20 or 30 minutes for yourself makes you a better worker, a better colleague, a better person.
