Don’t Try To Catch Up – Just Start Where You Are
I’ve spent the last few days in Virginia at my favorite real estate conference, Genuine Hustle, where I had the honor of presenting a session on asking powerful questions. It’s the most authentic, vulnerable, supportive and all around amazing group of agents that I’ve ever spent time with. They haven’t released the location or dates for next year yet, but I’ll let you know when they do. It’s definitely worth the effort to go.
Taking time for events like this is essential to my business and mental health. However, the cost of being fully present there means that I come home feeling behind in just about every aspect of my life.
Something I’ve learned over the years is that trying to play catch up never works.
I’ll never be completely caught up, the to do list will never be fully checked off. Aiming for those 2 things only makes me feel bad about myself, and results in me falling further behind.
So I’ve given myself permission to just start where I am. Which means:
Using my energy and time to do what I can today vs beating myself for what I didn’t do yesterday.
Side note: a benefit of doing things this way is that you realize some tasks either don’t need to be done at all, or can be outsourced to others.
Admittedly, one of the biggest challenges with syncing back into daily life is all of the mental noise, which can make it difficult to focus. The first thing I do when I notice my mind spinning is meditate. It is my secret weapon for calming and focusing my mind so that I know exactly what to work on.
Yes, meditation is my secret weapon for productivity and selling more real estate. It might sound weird, but works. In fact. meditation is a key element of my mastermind and coaching programs – agents are constantly sending me notes about referrals received and contracts signed after using the guided meditations that are part of the program.
Want to give it a try? Join me for my monthly Align and Attract meditation is next Monday, March 3rd from 7-7:20am pst.
Can’t make it live? The recording will be sent out later that day so that you can access the meditation anytime you want.
To your success!
