3/16/2024-Mindfulness/Self Care

A seller’s emotions can shift with the wind. Stuff comes at you from all directions during the workweek; much of it can be filed in the "hard" column.

Sure, you thrive on the action and the wins, but a rock fight is still a rock fight.

For some, solace is found at a bar on Friday night, for others, it’s the gym. And some merely want to curl up with their favorite pet and watch a vid.

Bottom line: weekends are meant for self-care. Whether you define self-care by just sleeping and breathing – or yoga, biking, or hiking – make yourself number one this weekend.

You know that getting what you want is only a decision away. (Plus a little execution, of course.)

If you want a robust pipeline, schedule more prospecting time. To nail your quarterly goals, set milestones and hold yourself accountable for your performance.

It’s the same with mindfulness.

If you want to run far away from your work and use the weekend to escape mentally, you must do the things that bring you joy and release.

Commit to mindfulness this weekend. Schedule the activities that bring you peace of mind and joy.

You need to watch Sam Berns in his 13-minute Ted Talk titled "My Philosophy for a Happy Life."

Sam was born with a rare disease called Progeria, which has limited his physical enjoyment of life. Sam was 17 years old at the time of the recording, and he talked about how he navigated physical obstacles to reach his dream of playing in his high school’s marching band.

The path towards mindfulness can be achieved by venturing down many paths with empathy and compassion atop the list.

Let Sam be your mindfulness guide today.
