Two weeks ago we wrote about being in a slump.
It happens to all of us – the best of us – from time to time. I shared about a time when I was in a slump myself and how it was impacting all facets of my life.
So how did I snap out of it? Iโll tell you.
I got back to basics. I actually took my own advice.ย I focused on the ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ we teach here at Insurance Agency Optimization.
I told myself: โEnough is enough. Tomorrow you will wake up earlier, turn your phone off, keep your e-mail closed and spend the first two hours of your day completing your daily disciplines.โ
Here is what that looked like:
- ย 10 minutes ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
- ย 5 minutes ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด on the previous dayโs happy moments
- ย Listened to a relevant ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ while I ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ
- ย Prepped ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ for the day ahead
- ย ๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ thanking him for being a good friend and letting him know how much I appreciate him
- ย Wrote down my ๐ด๐ผ๐ฎ๐น ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐
- ย And created my โ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐น๐ถ๐๐โ of things that HAD to get done
That took me 90 minutes total.
Spending that one day on those daily disciplines got me back on track and out of my slump.
