The epic pandemic has forced us into armchair quarterbacking the leaders who are doing their best to keep us safe. There are many things we do that increase anxiety and get us all worked up. But we have a choice and should focus our efforts on ways to reduce stress and exude contagious enthusiasm.
- Get enough sleep. There’s no reason to wake up at 5:30AM.
- Keep your mind active. Start a weekly blog or write regularly in a journal. Play games, work on puzzles, word searches or color.
- Socialize (virtually) with neighbors, family and friends. I attend a networking meetup with 59 colleagues on ZOOM the second Friday, at 8AM.
- Practice your spirituality by worshiping on-line or watching services on TV. Pray for the end of the epic pandemic. Pray for safety of first responders, government leaders, their teams. and all essential workers. Pray for yourself, your family, friends and me.
- Spend time on a hobby. Work in the garden or on the grass. I am confident our grass will once again turn green. Practice an instrument or listen and sing to music.
- Practice your sales. Leave yourself a voice message you would leave a prospect or customer. Listen to your message. Would you buy from you? Update your presentations with fresh ideas and current data.
- Be positive and enthusiastic with your family. Your actions will help everyone focus on what they need to do.
- Stay Hydrated. We keep a ‘Brita’ pitcher on the counter at home and work. I also drink LaCroix by the can, like it’s water.
Until next month, choose to be positive and Heat Up Your Sales!
