Welcome to my weekly ABCs...

Good day one and all, wishing you the very best for the day.

Welcome to my weekly ABC's, sent every Tuesday morning, whereby I will share three things, all of which are quick to read and easy to put into action.

A = Affirmation

It’s okay to pause and take a break… but don’t give up... 

An affirmation is a great way to start training your mind toward a positive way of thinking. Combined with other positive thinking exercises, a decisive affirmation will help you overcome any obstacle that is in front of you. The object of these positive thinking exercises is to ensure that you train the most powerful muscle in your body: your brain.

Now, more than ever, your well-being is super important, with so many people staying indoors, with the screen and phone beckoning you all the time, try and keep the balance and take a pause, keep your health (both physical and mental) top of mind.

I try to do the 20 in 20 rule, work for 20 minutes and then take a 20-second break, stand, walk, stretch and inhale to oxygenate the blood and brain. You will feel better after this short break from the computer (like I am right now) or phone calls.

There is a straightforward way to do this, I use a 20-minute hour-glass, flip it over, work hard and stay focussed for the 20-minutes and when the sand runs out, stand, stretch and inhale. It's also referred to as the Pomodoro Technique; more information found here.

The future you will say thanks, keep going!

B = Business Thoughts

Subject matter experts do open doors.

In this fast-paced time, we find ourselves; it's enticing to try and become an expert in as many things as you can; this in itself is the beginning of the end. The temptation is great to learn, grow and "pivot", which seems to be the word of the moment. While it's essential to learn and grow, you need to stay true to your core skill.

Now, this does not mean that you can't shift, but with the ever-increasing need for specific skills in the online and hyper-connected business world, your particular expertise could be the next one in demand for a new role, project or team. 

Use this time to build your subject matter to the expert level; we all seek out an expert at times, let this expert be you!
