Sometimes the winter can be a time where it is hard to stay inspired or motivated.   It is harder to get outside, business is sometimes slower.   Well I’m feeling more motivated than ever and making all kinds of plans for the year.     I will share with you three things currently inspiring me….

1.  Reading.   I love to read books….love!  My list of want-to-reads is getting so long.   I’m currently reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.  Great read!   It is not a book that I have ready cover to cover really fast, but I love reading a few pages at night before I go to bed.  If that book does not inspire you then I don’t know what to tell ya!  haha.  I’m also constantly reading on the internet….I used to spend all my time socializing on the computer, but now I catch myself getting sucked into a webinar or article that will help my business.

2. Yoga.   Practicing yoga is not only my current exercise of choice, but it is my serenity.  How cool that I get them both in the same place at the same time!?   Yoga keeps my body and my mind balanced which helps me stay inspired.  I even said the other day that I wish I could go to yoga in the middle of the workday!

3.  My family and friends.   Ok I know everyone says this.  We all love our families…. but the reason I have this as a reason for inspiration is because a lot of my focus right now is maximizing my business and workflow so that I can spend MORE time with my family.   I’m learning to out-source, ask for help, and make things more efficient so that I can have more quality time with my family and less time stressing.

I leave with this quote by one of my favorite recent authors.  Sometimes I feel like people think I’m crazy lol…the silent judgement…… I’m not crazy…..(well maybe a little) BUT.. I’m just leaving my comfort zone and its causing some great changes in my life and my business.   I started reading books that would help my business about 8 months ago.  While I haven’t read many books, the ones I have read have changed my life by changing my way of thinking.
