1. Be In Nature- I find the best way to relax is to drop what you are doing and get outside! Even a quick 10-20 mins can do a world of good.

2. Meditate- calming the mind calms the soul which leads to greater focus. Simple.

3. Rest- Taking time to rest and gain focus and direction of where you want to be heading is smart. Use your downtime wisely. Catnap if you have to as it will add to your productivity.

4. Make a Dream List of Goals- Do not loose site of your big picture- make your commitment for the next 10 years and put it on paper!

5. Hire a Mentor- I have had many mentors in my life that have contributed to my success. Why re-invent the wheel? Having access to someone who’s been through it really helps you to learn & bring out your best.

6. Learn about others- Read and learn from the mistakes and achievement of others, and model their success. My two favourites are Chris Gardner & Lisa Nichols.

7. Join a Mastermind Group- Mastermind Groups have been around for many years. It is meant to be a group of successful entrepreneurs who want help or to help others think big. This type of format can help you stride forward with your business.

It is all about balance. Balancing your work and life are important and having proper systems in place and running your business as a CEO and not an employee will help you create that balance in your life. For more information on how to achieve this contact me at info@darcellerunciman.com.

Relax and regenerate your energy

1. Do to difficult tasks first- Do the hardest things first especially if you are one who procrastinates. You will find if you tackle the project immediately you will get better results which may be moved along due to your guilt.

2. Listen to your body- If you are a morning person then do your most difficult tasks in the morning to ensure they are completed. Use your most productive time when it is best for you to maximize results.

3. Work on energizing tasks- Have a routine of activities that give you energy rather than deplete it.

4. Exercise- Get out of your work area and up out of the chair often to get that blood circulating to keep your mind active.

5. Get outside- Quick breaks help relax the mind and prepare it once again for work. Be aware of your breathe and relax into the moment. Be in nature as it reduces stress in our bodies. Visualize and relax your mind before returning to your desk.
