Where did the day go??

We’ve all had those days.  You hit the snooze a few too many times, you get caught up in a meeting, your to do list seems to be hijacked by everyone else’s needs and when you finally get a second to breathe your day is almost over and nothing that YOU wanted to do has been done.  So what do you do? 

More often than not it seems like our first reaction is stress then frustration and then we give up on the day entirely.  I’d like to offer 3 quick things that might be able to change your mood and make you feel like the day wasn’t a complete wash!  

1) Sit down and breathe for 5-10 minutes.  Close your eyes and start counting your breaths.  Inhale, 1, exhale, 2, inhale 3, exhale 4….repeat this up to the number 10 and then go back to 1 and repeat.  This simple calming exercise can get your mind clear and sanity back in place.

2) Go for a walk or get some exercise.  I promise you you’ll feel better about your day once you get a workout in.  The endorphins you get from the workout will boost your mood and will make your mind more productive.  

3) Look at your to do list and knock out 2 of the nagging tasks.  They can be as small as laundry or as big as a video for your website.  Make sure you give 2 attention tonight.  You will then be able to rest your head knowing you moved your mission forward today!

Now lets go reclaim our day!
