Winging it!

I have finally found the title of my blog. I've changed it a couple of times, as you might have noticed.

Here's where my new name came from....

Today at a network meeting, we were talking about icebreakers you can use when you walk into a room full of people you don't know. My comment to the group was that everyone in the room feels the same nervousness that you feel. If you can remember that, you will have much less fear. Someone said to me, I can't believe you feel nervous, you talk to everyone! My response was "I'm winging it!" As soon as I said it, I knew. I stopped and grabbed my phone and texted it to myself.

The bottom line is we're all winging it. We don't know what each day is going to bring our way, but we get up and get out there and deal with it.

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest  LinkedIn Alignable  So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...

Winning the self-discipline fight!

The quote above touches on my last blog post and on something that I have found totally works for me when I do it. Unfortunately I don't do it often enough and it's something I'm working on. Scheduling your time/time blocking. If you make time to do something every day, it eventually get's done. For example, you could spend an entire day doing laundry - Or you could decided to do one load every day. Wash it, dry it, fold it, and put it away. Done. You've accomplished something today. Sometimes t he idea of getting 10 loads done is overwhelming, so break it up when you can. If you have a book you really want to start reading, but keep putting it off, commit to reading it xx minutes each day. Even if it's only 10 minutes, it will add up at the end of the week. You might even find yourself reading it longer when you get into it. Once you get started by forcing yourself to just do a small amount of something you've been putting off, you'll...
