The Calm Before The Storm,......

What Works For You?

So many days are crazy busy in this world of Real Estate, but for me Tuesdays are exceptionally so. To the point that I call Tuesdays, Turmoil Tuesday! LOL! It's a day of office time, meetings, trainings and Broker Opens. Through it all, we have to keep our cool so we can guide others smoothly to the closing table.

So, before our days begin it is imperative that we take a little time for ourselves.

Perhaps it's walking in the rain,...

sipping coffee or tea while watching the snow fall,....

a moment of meditation or creating something beautiful.

But what ever it is, take time for yourself.

You are no good to others if you don't take time for yourself.

Laura, good point! We take so much time looking out for others we sometimes forget about ourselves...time to change that.

Thanks for the reminder.

Have a great day.

Good reminder Laura.

I tend to renew at least 3 times per week by hitting the gym. .lately, I have increased that since I have now a healthy knee!

Well said Laura.

I think we need to take some time for ourselves on Tuesday... or any day for that matter.

I have some small routines that I keep every day. First cup of coffee is always quiet and sitting. The other one is when I get home from work I sit in the living room with either candles or a fire and a glass of wine. I do not speak or answer the phone during either.

I find laying back and concentrating on my breathing is the most calming for me. Distraction works too....like a good movie!

Absolutely it is Alisa! Take a little time for yourself and you will be so much better for it.

And what great way do you unwind Richard?

Fernando, your knee is doing well? So glad to hear it! There is nothing better than hitting the gym to refresh and rejuvenate!

Sharon, the last few days have been a blur! But productive for sure.

Ha ha! I'll have to stop by and check that out Gene. I just realized all three of the posts I posted this week are weather themed. Too funny!

Feb 06, 2013 12:24 PM

That we do Tom. A little time to ourselves makes us much better for everyone! :-).

Liz, that sounds wonderful! Two perfect times to just feel piece and quiet. Ahhhhhhh,,,,........

Ha ha Sharon, I think there is going to be one or two good movies in the rain here soon! ;-).

Why yes, yes it is Conrad! One of my most favorite relaxation techniques.

Hi Laura, I haven't noticed the turmoil of Tuesdays lately, I am usually still recovering from the Manic Mondays.

Love the Snowfall Picture!
