How to take a Break: Unwind & Unplug and Recharge for Recovery "You need to regenerate your energy. Unplugging is an emotional recharge that we all need."   As much as I hate to admit it, there is hardly a minute in my day where I'm not using some form of technology. My phone is glued to my hand almost all day and when I'm not on my phone, I'm using a computer.  You can't perform at your best when you are wound up, stressed, anxious, or even tired- so taking some time away to unplug is necessary for you to be able to perform and produce big results. Awareness: Importance of Unplugging and Unwinding A study by LinkedIn found that 70% of professionals don't fully unplug from work.   A recent study of 1,400 information workers commissioned by Microsoft found that 40% of people work outside of regular hours in a way that interferes with family time.   Corporate Athlete is a Great example of not allowing for recovery.   It's time to unplug, unwind, and recharge. When we neglect this crucial step, we end up feeling exhausted and burnt out. Here are some benefits of unplugging from work and technology: Getting Off Your Phone Helps Your Overall Quality Of Life Unplugging After Work Helps You Recharge A Digital Detox Is Shown To Help You Sleep Unplugging Can Make Your Interpersonal Communication & Relationships Better Increased productivity when you return back to work refreshed and recharged How to unwind from work and ensure you have time to recharge every night. Give your brain a different problem to solve. Some of us are just used to having a wired brain that needs to constantly tick. If that's the case, try putting that focus and energy elsewhere.

We all know what happens when you just check in on one thing and it ends up leading us down a black hole of other work tasks that can be handled the next work day. You need to create non-negotiable working hours. Rituals are POWERFUL ways to form new habits. It's not super important WHAT you do, but you need to be CONSISTENT. You need to repeat the same actions every single day to create a neurological association that the workday is over. Get yourself out of ‘work mode' by making a list. At the end of the day, write down everything you need to do. Give yourself permission to brain dump so it's out of your head and won't keep bothering you while you're trying to unwind after work.

HONESTY!      In world of bright lights, fast techonolgy, information and motivation at our fingertips it can be so easy to get lost in all the noise and hype and not really understand what we want and why we want it.      Just because it looks like everyone around us is winning doesn't mean we have too (and really they aren't winning anyway).      When we meet with a prospect initially one of the questions we always ask is on a scale of 1 - 10 what is your priority and your TRUE COMMITMENT level in accordance with your goals.     If you are an 8 they don't act like a 6. If you are a 10 then what are you willing to sacrifice to change all the poor habits, self talk, and patterns of behavior that it takes to win.   Join us in this transparent conversation!    *********************************     Peace ✌

Ep #219: The Problem with Corporate VIPs and How to Become an MVP InsteadAre you on the path to becoming an MVP or a VIP at your organization? The difference may seem small, but focusing on the wrong path can create huge problems in your career. VIPs are the high-level leaders you may be looking up to at your organization right now. They have power and influence and they're often respected and even revered. But here's the problem: As you advance to higher levels of leadership...you may come to realize that you don't actually like them. And when this happens – when you realize many of the VIPs you admired are actually total a-holes who don't stand for anything as a leader – this can be incredibly demotivating for you and your career. But in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I'm going to help you bypass this problem completely by showing you another path. I'll show you how focusing on being an MVP – NOT a VIP – will help you achieve everything you admire about VIPs (the title, pay, recognition, and voice) while also stepping into your authentic power and having a major impact as a leader.Unlock the missing piece in your leadership development.

We have more diets, supplements, online exercise programs, and more healthier foods coming into the marketplace. So why is America getting fatter every year? Instead of telling folks too, "Eat better" or "Just start moving more" we found some underlying issues that could be the reason(s) why you are unhealthy…     ENVIRONMENT; You don't realize you are unhealthy.    DECISION: You don't really want to change.    TOO HARD: You think you can start tomorrow.    NOW VS. LATER: Short term pain vs. long term pleasure   PERSPECTIVE: Everyday counts from the small details to the BIG.      *********************************     Peace ✌
