‍Maverick ways to declutter your mind.

1.    Physiological Sigh

• Double inhale (though your nose), and tehn without pausing, exhale through your mouth... letting out an audibly SIGH as loudly as you can!

This is a phenomenally useful breathing technique and my favourite!

‍

2.    Do the plank for 1 min (or 2 mins if you can)

• If you set your mobile for your ‘stretch time’ (mine is 2 mins, and I have to work hard to achieve 2 mins )… you can think of absolutely NOTHING else for the last 20-30 seconds of doing your plank.

Drop to the floor in your office... anything goes these days

‍

3.    Save your favourite 'va va voom' songs on Spotify (or alternative app) on your phone

Plug in your headphones and...

• Go for a 3 minute brisk walk
• Skip at your desk - using cordless skipping ropes (availble online - they are fantastic)
• Bounce on a trampoline looking up to the sky (stretch your neck as far as you can) AND use the physiological sigh

I did this three times today - each time for two minutes.
This really helped me to clear my ‘horrid’ sinuses.

These ideas are for a #Jolt … so it must be quick, easy to do and you should be able to do it (almost) anywhere. It is important to have these little tricks up your sleeve and to USE THEM. Two or three ‘mind declutters’ during the day and you’ll feel less drained at the end of the day.

PLUS your family will get a better version of you.
Too often people share in coaching that their work team gets the ‘best’ of them during the day, and their family gets the bedraggled, tired ‘version’ of them at night.

Family is everything! What other tips do you have to ensure that you have good mental, and physical energy at the end of each day for your quality ‘family-time’?
