The #1 thing that will change your life and business forever

What’s your biggest enemy in business? Is it the dreaded overwhelm, or perhaps procrastination, imposter syndrome, or self-doubt?
 
You might indulge in one or several of these. I know I’ve been through them all in a big way and need to keep them at bay ongoing.
 
In my experience, feeling good and knowing things are working out, kind of comes and goes. Let’s face it, building a business has a more than a few challenges attached to it.  I’ve seen someone go from totally on fire one day to crying in the corner the next (ok I have to fess up, it was me). It isn’t pretty but I want to reassure you it’s normal.
 
But you know what happens in your business when you get stuck in one of these states for too long right? At best nothing happens, at worst you go backwards.
 
If you get stuck on this emotional roller coaster it will make you very unreliable and unproductive in your business.
I work with most of my clients on this and I want to share it with you today. The number one thing that will change your life and business forever is learning to manage your emotional state. When you feel good, you will naturally take more action. It’s simple and it makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, very few are taught how to effectively do this.

2 easy ways to consistently feel good anywhere, anytime

• Add an F – yes you can use the F to swear if you want, but once you’re done with that, try this:

Feeling SHIT… add an F = SHIFT your FOCUS
Just think about something else! Catch your unhelpful thoughts and shift into thinking about something better. If you get stuck, go to gratitude. Thinking about something or someone you are grateful for instantly changes your emotional state.

• Move your Body – this has to be the easiest way to change how you feel in any moment. Try it now: stand up, lift your chest, look up and put a big smile on your face (even if you have to force it). You can’t stay miserable for long when you stand like this. Be careful, you might start to feel confident too.

Get your energy flowing by going for a walk, dancing in your office, working out or simply strike a power pose (think superhero). Whatever you like to do, make it fun and easy for yourself.
 
Now it might a take a little practice to begin. If you’re resisting this idea because it’s too simple and your situation is too complicated, I urge you to try it out just a few times. You’ve got nothing to lose except your bad mood :)
