1. Work smarter not harder.  Long hours do not necessarily = a better output.  Quality not quantity is important.  How do we do this?
2. Connect with your body.  Respect physical needs that support mental processing.  Issues can include: pain;  poor dietary choices including too much caffeine, alcohol, sugar and fat; lack of sleep, exercise, family/friend time, stress management.  What does the research say?
3. Know your values.  Identify what is important to you and do not be afraid to voice those things.  Values of trust, authenticity, dependability, responsibility. Not saying yes to everything.  What are your values?
4. Know your long and short term goals.  unclear goals lead to unclear decisions.  Defining your goals out loud (to yourself, of course!).  Doing things that work toward your goals.  Do you know your goals?
5. Posture says it all.  Body language and the importance in communication.  If you don't feel it, "fake it ‘til you make it".  What do you think about this strategy?
