Focus on a Solution

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

There are always solutions available to us - if we are open to finding them. Many times we get caught up in the problems and focusing on what is not working in our lives.

Just for today focus on all the things that are working in your life. When you shift your focus you may find a solution lies within the successes you do have. List the things that are working and see if a common thread appears. Is it your attitude that is working? Is it your time management? Is it your ability to lighten up and laugh at yourself? Is it your communication with others? Is it that you can remain calm in the midst of crisis? Is it that you think outside the box? Is it that you invite someone in for a fresh perspective?
Whatever is working for you, therein lies a possible solution to a current problem. IF you still cannot find a solution from what is working then consider doing the opposite of what you usually do. If you always have to stay involved consider passing it on to a friend or colleague to help. Consider consulting someone that normally you would not. If you would stay with the problem relentlessly consider taking a break, set it aside and come back to it later.

There is always a solution if your focus is on finding one.

    Today I take what IS working in my life and apply it to something that is not and see the solution appear.

Don't Forget to Breathe!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Many times when our day or life becomes hectic we speed up our pace trying to keep up with everything and everyone. When we do this we don't even realize that our breathing changes. We breathe shallower, faster and sporadically. The physical effect this has on our bodies and our brains is that we take in less oxygen and keep more carbon dioxide.
This results in feeling sluggish, tense, irritable and out of balance.

So today, don't forget to Breathe! Take a moment of your day and stop and breathe in .... fully and completely and then breathe out .... fully and completely.

Then take a moment to review your pace for the day. If you are feeling hectic, stressed, feeling like time is running out or that you need to clone yourself 3 or 4 times to get everything done, perhaps this is the time to slooooow down! Revise your schedule, delegate some things out, prioritize, bump some things to the next day, or week, and then put a time slot in there just for you.
Prioritize yourself into your day today. Breathe yourself into a calm space and breath in more oxygen to your system and re-balance your body and your brain. NOW - you're ready for anything!

Affirm:
     Today I remember to Breathe myself into balance.

Have a full tank of oxygen Thursday!

Be Motivational and Inspirational

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today instead of trying to do everything yourself, delegate. And delegate with enthusiasm and inspiration. Truly motivating others is the difference between saying "here do this" and "I know you are the right person to get this job done."
So today find out how motivating you can be by inspiring others, whether at work or at home with words of encouragement, support and by accentuating the positive.

Affirm:
    Today I pay attention to the way I communicate motivation and inspiration to others.

Have a Motivational and Inspirational Tuesday!
