If you want to kick it up a notch, throw a little variety into the mix.
Sometimes life becomes so routine, we don’t have to think about a thing we’re doing throughout the day. We’re programmed to run on automatic. It’s important to shake things up every once in a while to get the creative juices flowing, give us an added boost of energy or give us something to concentrate on for a change.
When routine sets in, particularly in business, we can’t always see the impact it has until we throw a new ingredient into the mix. This week, I ventured outside of my regular routine, took on a new activity and performed a very unexpected act of kindness. The results were terrific!
For starters, I received my Barry’s Bootcamp Workout Package. I must admit, I’ve been slacking on the exercising for a while because I’ve been so focused on business and homeschooling.
I’d been going to the gym 3-4 times a week, but I wasn’t really feeling energized the day after because I was doing more weight lifting then anything else. I really wanted something that had measurable results in a shorter period of time, so while I was at Orlando at the Nickolodeon hotel, I ordered it.
So I rounded up all the boys together and we all put our workout gear on, and for the next 21 minutes, we were all working out together and engaging in an activity that was outside of our routine, and I felt GREAT! Can’t wait till day 30!
Then I decided to call my brother, who I don’t speak to very often, and leave him a nice message on his phone, letting him know how much I loved him and missed him. I don’t know what impact it had on him yet, but it sure made me feel terrific.
Then I decided to call my sister, who I hadn’t called in a few to let her know how much I loved her and that I was thinking about her. Well that totally made her giddy because my sister is usually the one to call me. She was really happy that I picked up the phone and called her because usually I’m so busy with the boys and business, that sometimes I leave things like that on the back burner.
What a huge impact it made on her, and it made me feel terrific, because I know how much it means to her. (Love you sis!)
Today, I’m going to do something extra nice for my husband. What I don’t know yet…but I will definitely do something out of the ordinary to make his day (get your mind out of the gutter people! lol)
It’s easy to get caught up in the routine of business and marketing and trying to generate leads. Believe me, even with the experience that I now have in this industry, I too am human, and I have my days where I just have to walk away from it all, and turn off my computer.
If you’re having those days too, the best cure for that is to do something out of the ordinary, and do something nice for someone else.
TRUST ME. Try it!
So changing our routine and experiencing an act of kindness elevated all of us mentally, physically and emotionally. It is no secret that change and giving to others boost our energy levels, but we get so caught up in daily living that we easily forget. We fall into the comfort zone of habit.
Today is a new day. What can YOU do differently? Take a different route to work? Part your hair on the left instead of in center? Take the stairs instead of the elevator? Whatever it is and no matter how small, change makes a positive impact.
What can YOU do for someone else today? Something completely unsolicited and without expectation. If you’re going through the drive-thru at the coffee shop, pay for the coffee for the driver behind you. If you see someone struggling with her bags at the grocery store, lend a hand. The simplest act of kindness will reap big rewards for the giver, receiver and everyone they touch throughout the day.
HAVE A SUPER DAY!
