A 5-Step Plan For Taking Control Of Your Life:

A 5-Step Plan For Taking Control Of Your Life: Doctor Of Psychology Explains If you think you may still have a bit of work to do—and we all do at one point or another—I think these tips might help: 1. Set goals. All great leaders set goals. They identify the milestones they want to reach, then create specific, actionable goals that will help them get there. Whether you’re leading a major corporation or leading your (even more majorly important!) life, you need to look into the future and decide where you want to go—then figure out how you’ll get there.

(If you pray, then this can become part of your prayer as well.) 2. Write a Thank You note to someone this week. If you can’t find anything else to thank someone for, then just write them a note to thank them for being in your life. Any time they spend with you is a gift because they could choose to spend it with someone els

5 Ways to Motivate Yourself in 5 Minutes or Less “The trouble with opportunity is that it always comes disguised as hard work.” –Source Unknown While the benefits of being self-employed are numerous, there is one downside that every entrepreneur faces at one time or another – a lack of motivation. It’s no secret that running your own business is hard work, and some days the struggle can just down right get to you. The thing is, your customers and clients don’t stop having needs just because you do. Without business retreats and company motivation tactics to help spur you on, the task of staying on track becomes solely yours. Luckily, there are a few productivity hacks you can use to help you stay on your path should you get temporarily derailed. Some of these are based on science, while others are just some common sense methods for working against what could sometimes be considered your biggest enemy to success – yourself.

Stop When disaster strikes and you feel all hope is lost, calm down, slow your roll and try to keep those negative emotions at bay. This will carry you on to the next step. Step 2.
