This is the next in a series of videos I’m sharing with you on the topic of ‘How to focus when it’s NOT business as usual’. And today’s specific topic is about UNLOCKING the energy to find FOCUS because it’s currently within you.

So for many of us, our professional roles may have changed significantly…and for some they’ve disappeared. And, we’ve taken on new roles like homeschooling and being an emotional support for anxious colleagues and employees.

It throws us into a strange situation of blending the personal and the professional.

When our circumstances are so uncertain and we miss and grieve for our old routines and structures it can be really easy to slip into the feeling of “letting things wait until this all over” OR ease into just “letting things go.”

We need a reason to get going each day professionally and we need that internal motivation to stay front-of-mind.

And if you’re struggling with that right now, of staying internally motivated, this video is for you.

In this time of working from home, with so many distractions and major worldwide issues unfolding AND having others in your home, having a strong morning routine can mean the difference between a great day and an unfocussed one….which can sometimes add up to many unfocussed days.

I wanted to go back to basics here, because this is what we are all facing right now. Our regular routines have been disrupted. Where we work has changed for many. There are others in your space that may not normally be there…..

I will add a disclaimer here as well…sometimes we need time to process, time to adjust, reflect and adapt, with patience, compassion and grace. I am in favour of taking the time to process all the changes and challenges that you’ve been through or are facing. If that means working at slow speed, making space for more family time, I am all for it.

When you are ready…and I know you will be. You’ll be wanting to get some things done. And, feeling like you’re able and capable of getting things accomplished will be a form of carving out your own control in a situation that is very fluid now.

So when you are ready, here are some ideas for you.
