As our lives
continue to get busier & our responsibilities increase, it’s important to
never lose focus and to keep yourself inspired both in and out of the
workplace.
Here are some
positive tips to keep you inspired this summer:
STAY HEALTHY
Keeping up with your health is one of the most important factors
contributing to a more productive and fulfilling lifestyle. Something as simple
as drinking a large glass of water when you wake up in the morning can help you
think more clearly in order to start the day fresh.
It’s no secret that daily exercise boosts your energy level,
improves your mood, and reduces stress. Summer is the perfect time to do some
of the most adventurous outdoor activities! I find joy in hiking the steep
mountains in Colorado or swimming in the fresh water springs. There are plenty
of options around you, so get out there, continue to move and don’t be afraid
to sweat a little!
PLAN YOUR DAY
In the morning, identify your top three priorities for the day- then
do them. I am huge fan of making lists, I make them for almost everything! A
great way to start is by organizing your tasks by production time. Completing
simpler tasks earlier in the day will allow you to devote maximum time to bigger
projects or more playful summer activities.
At the end of your day, sit back and review your task list. Check
off your accomplishments for the day and begin to set your goals for the
following day. Taking a short amount of time at the end of the day to reflect
will provide you with awareness of your current status when it comes to your ongoing
projects, as well as confidence in your workflow.
KEEP LEARNING
To most of us, summer is a school-free, stress-free, responsibility-free few weeks of
essentially doing exactly whatever we want. Although that can be true, it can also be a time to work your
creative mind and keep learning new things. Have a summer reading list, browse
the web, or brainstorm new innovative ideas to add more color to your life. By
doing these things, one can increase their knowledge, capabilities and in turn
stay inspired.
FOCUS ON WHAT MAKES YOU
HAPPY
Indulging in your favorite things is the BEST way to stay inspired
this summer. Setting time aside to relax and enjoy what makes you happy can not
only bring you positive thoughts but can also get your creative juices
flowing.
It’s certainly possible to have a playful summer without losing
touch of your inspiration to be a more creative, happy and productive you. Recharge
yourself by trying something new…who knows what doors will open because you put
forth the effort!
