It's that time of year! Birds chirping, snow piles melting and a few shoots of green grass peeking through. Time to spring forward and embrace change!
This is a great time of year to review where you've been the past few months and where you're headed the rest of the year. I challenged a work colleague recently to block a full work day for creating her business plan. This means setting aside a full 8-hour day where you can focus on the big picture. You list all you need to accomplish, all you want to accomplish and then prioritize that list into a manageable one…with deadlines. I choose to make lists for work, personal and family.
Have I blocked out this day yet? Well, actually yes…and then life took over. That day became just like any other; filled with emails, phone calls, work, more work, bills, kids and cleaning.
So, I decided I WILL block out this day again and escape to a hotel to actually accomplish it! I will not be accessible by phone that day (except for family). Sometimes it's essential to break from our normal routine to clear our heads so we can make important plans.
Whatever your Spring Fever Change is (work, personal, home, kids) take the time to make it happen! I'm always inspired by the positive articles we receive from Joe Thiel, owner of Springfield Moms sponsor Fitness Together and Health Coach Joe. Joe makes no excuses and always has great tips that we can apply to our lives.
This article here is a personal favorite: Finding the Courage to Change
Enjoy!
