It's not work...

It's Practice.

Spin it and Win it!

By doing something on a repeated basis, we only get better at it as we
do it. So why not think of it as practice and see just how good we can
get.

Remember, it's not what we do, it's how we do it.

So whatever we do, and choose to Spin, whether it's dusting, playing
guitar, homework, exercise, working ...whatever...Let's take it to the Top!

Heidi Klum?

She may be a super model, and just maybe it's because of her super
outlook.

Check this out:

"The key to where I am today is that I make the most out of everything".

Being the eternal optimist makes her a super successful Mom, wife,
woman and as a whole, makes her a beautiful person.

"What I do, from the inside out, is motivate myself, pick out my goal
and then follow my dream, and keep going".

Who would figure, that she has a plan for success...it looks as though
it worked for her, and it will sure work for us.

It's only work...

When you would rather be doing something else.

That's also why people say you should find something you would like to
do for "work" and you won't be working anymore.

Some have come to me having trouble with this concept...think of it
this way...if you are happy while working, then it really isn't work,
is it.

And while some work, by itself, may not be the most fun, we can sure
spin it, and make it fun...once we do that, we are happy and we really
aren't working anymore:)

Remember the good old days where...

All that mattered was Where and When?

It's a pretty good plan...getting back to simplicity.

But with work, friends, family and commitments as we grow older, the
Where and When, seems to be replaced by How and Why.

Maybe we should loosen up a bit and be ready and excited for everything
and anything that comes our way...we used to be that way, and there is
no reason we can't get back to the good old days.

When it's time...

To get things done...there's no one that can do it better than you!

That's right, that's how you roll.

And instead of thinking about the 5 things you need to get done, you
focus on the top priority, and bingo - it gets done.

The other things will be handled when their priority bubbles to the
top, because to get a "clean cut" you like to mow things down, one at a
time.

That's like You..."No Filla, only Killa"!

It's not a burden...

It's a gift.

A good reminder of this is the song "He's not heavy, he's my brother".

So what do we have in our world that we perceive as a burden, but would be
heartbroken if it were gone?

Our responsibilities of our work, having to deal with our family, our
relationships or our friends?

We need to stay mindful of the responsibilities in our lives must not
be, or become a burden...as everything in our lives is a gift - and
some more valuable that others.

Whistle while you work?

The saying has been around for quite some time and it really does have
meaning.

It basically means putting in a little fun and happiness in your work.

Occasionally, work may demand all of our attention, but the majority of
the time, we can put a little fun and happiness into it, while thinking about
other things, and still handle, what we need to
handle - safely.

This is because attention is a cognitive process which allows us to do
more than one thing while keeping our "environment receptors"...in the
ready...just like when we are talking on the cell phone driving through traffic.

So next time you forget to put a little fun and happiness into your work, put some in
quickly, you should be safe, creative and the time will fly by.

Happy New Year!

This Year will be the greatest ever, when we have our thoughts aligned
accordingly.

And for those of us that need to streamline a few things, we may have
to change some habits.

It's really all about relationships...and this could be a great time to
"break up" with some bad habits.

Doing it all at once, or bit by bit over time, it is our choice and we
may need to work our plan...but deselecting some of our relationships
with bad habits can really free us up and allow our life to prosper and
expand.

After all - every relationship we have with our daily habits, doesn't
have to stay committed.

Yours in "Free up" - Coach

In any game...

Whether it be the game of life, work or play...on paper, there can be
favorites, and also a projected "Winner".

But we don't play on paper.

This is pretty cool, because when we play our game, we often times
receive doubt, opposition or resistance from others - which sometimes
gets in our heads.

But last time I checked - once the game starts, all the bets are off -
maybe that's why there no such thing as a "sure bet".

And this is because when the game begins, it's the focus, desire and
determination of the players that produces the outcome...and not what
they have done in past.

Yours in "We don't play on Paper" - Coach

Some of us...

Relax better than others.

That's OK, if we choose to relax, when things are
handled, or when we need a break ...it's just a part of balancing out.

Relaxing is a great way to re-charge our "batteries" and get out of our
head a bit, allowing us to be refreshed to "get back to it" when we
need to.

Just as some of us find it little easier to work than relax, and if that's the case - maybe a little
balancing out is in order.

The Most Seasoned...

Professionals have one thing in common...they can handle
adversity in stride.

The True Professional can take anything which comes into their work or personal lives, that may distract them
from their plans, and quickly go to plan "B" while working on a Solution
instead of grinding to a standstill.

It takes a little multi-tasking, but that's what makes the Successful,
Successful.
