When I fall into a funk, there are 10 techniques I do to get back into a groove. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk about them more!
  1. Ask yourself if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. Decide if it’s time to get off the couch.
  2. Start journaling. Understand who you are, where you are, where you want to go, what do you stand for, and what do you need to change? Between your ears is a loud, crowded, messy place where things get lost. Write it down on paper.
  3. List of the top 10 things you love to do. This will bring you a lot of joy. You’ll set up a time and an idea to start doing some of these things because it will make you smile.
  4. Commit to an hour of working out before noon. Exercise induces endorphins. It moves your brain, pumps your heart, and puts you in a better mood.
  5. Write a list of five things that scare you the most. Take the top three and master them. Face your fears and nothing will stand in your way. You’ll be empowered beyond belief because you beat your top three fears.
  6. Write your vision and goals down. Write detailed goals. Instead of, “I want a new car,” try “I can’t believe the incredible feeling I have when I’m in my brand new Mercedes with the windows down going 95 down the freeway with the wind blowing in my hair and the brand new smell of leather in my nose and hearing the roar of the exhaust coming out the back side of that vehicle, with the volume of the music turned all the way up to 100.” Create a mental picture for your subconscience to react with.
  7. Find a mentor. They don’t even have to be alive! Read the greats if you can’t find one in your personal life. Find someone who inspires you.
  8. Do something to give back. You need to give back to yourself. I went to a food shelter and boxed food, and it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I plan to do it a lot more. For me, I buy custom shirts after every closing as a little gift to myself. It’s important to give yourself the little wins.
  9. Feed yourself with positive things. Nurture your mind. Try YouTube, podcasts, books, audiobooks, whatever it is that brings positive vibes. It’ll emanate from you out to the rest of the world, and people are attracted to that positive energy.
  10. Chart your progress. Write down every night what’s working and what’s not. Eliminate what’s not and double down on what is.

Write your vision and goals down.

If you have any questions or just want to talk about these 10 things, give me a ring. I look forward to speaking with you!
