Seek and Ye Shall Find Time
Fret no more my fellow yogis! Time-saving, life-enhancing tips are now at your service. Ask and it is given. Seek and ye shall find. The Law of Attraction is always in action.
Okay. Question.
How are you supposed to teach and inspire others to live their greatest lives if you aren't nurturing yourself enough to thrive (not just survive) FIRST?
Time to start taking care little ol' you. Time to fill up that "love tank" so you're not running on empty anymore.
I know, I said I was gonna help you find TIME, not love. But I can almost guarantee you, even if you had more time, without a precise plan for how you're going to spend that time (doing something fun, exciting or rewarding for YOU) you'll end up filling that fresh new time slot with more HARD, draining tasks and to-do lists. It's just not in our cultural genes to do anything different. So plan ahead!
Now then. We have two things to accomplish in the next 3 minutes of your reading this article:
First, we must provide you with 3 immediately implementable tools that will instantly free up 30% or more of your time.
and...
Second, we must create the master plan for how you're going to spend that time being the full YOU again--healthy, happy, and relieved.
Get out a pen.
Tip # 1: The night before, always make a master TO DO list to guide you methodically through the next day. Keep it simple, as in NO MORE THAN 10 items or so, and only list them if they are check-off-able. In other words, you must be able to accomplish them and cross them out.
Don't do anything unless it's on this list. And if you don't get it done, cross it off anyway, and add it to your next day's master list.
Tip # 2: Block out daily Prime Time Hours. Fill this block of time with income generating activities and nothing more. What counts? ...private sessions with clients, posting an ad on Craigslist.org about your services, or writing a newsletter to your current database of students.
If your "Prime Time" is from 1-6pm each day, do not allow yourself to be interrupted by any other activity than that which is growing and sustaining your business for those 5 hours. This time and these activities are the lifeblood (the fuel) for your yoga career. It, too, has a "love tank" and Prime Time activities are the only way to keep the engine tuned up and running.
Tip # 3: Find a Mutual Coaching Buddy. You know what you're good at...yoga. What else? Maybe it's relationships, cooking, shopping, art, accounting...whatever. Find someone who you can coach on these topics that you have expertise in, and have them coach YOU on whatever YOU need help with, i.e. Internet Marketing, Website Design, Creating a Direct Mail/Post Card Campaign or Referral Program for your current clients. Dedicate 1 hour each week where you each coach the other for 30 minutes... then implement and test the results as quickly as possible. You won't get it perfect the first time, but you WILL learn what works and what doesn't if you keep at it. And your return on investment (ROI) will be tenfold!
That should kick things off for you.
Now for our second goal. Simply answer these 2 questions, then go out and DO what you really want to be doing! You can make excuses or make results. Which will it be? You're in the driver's seat.
Question # 1: If you knew you'd be successful at it, that you deserved it, and that all the powers in the Universe wanted you to have, do, or be ____________, how would you fill in the blank?
Question # 2: What are three steps you can take in the next 48 hours that will put the wheels into motion and get you flowing toward the realization of this desire?
I'll be pulling for you.
Warmest Namaste,
Kris
