Everyone is on their tablet or smart phone looking at social media – LinkedIn – Twitter – Facebook – Snapchat – Instagram – YouTube and more…
You might think, “Oh, I just want to check on my friends…”
The next thing you know a couple of minutes becomes a couple of hours.
Recently while in Orlando during an event where I was speaking a few of us were discussing what might you do in five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the evening which would change everything. These five minutes would turn into Gold for anyone who would practice the techniques.
Here is what we came up with –
Do You Have Five Minutes In The Morning?
Write out three examples for each item –
- First – I Am Grateful Today For…
- Second – What Would Make Today Great…
- Third – Say Daily Affirmations…
Do You Have Five Minutes in The Evening?
Write out three examples for each item –
- First – What Amazing Things Happened Today?
- Second – How Could I Have Made Today Even Better?
- Third – Who Did I Add Value To Today?
