Cleanse - Do less to achieve more!

10-Feb-10 15:26 | Tera McHugh (administrator)
Health & Beauty.jpgRecently I began a 12 week group coaching
program focused on getting fit & healthy!

Week 1 required a detox or cleanse and
while this wasn't the first time I participated
in something like this, it had been quite a
while since my last one. 

So, I tried prepared as best as I could, first
by weaning myself from coffee [many of
you know how much I LOVE my coffee] and I stocked the fridge with all of
the cleansing foods [fruits, veggies, chicken & fish].  It wasn't as hard as I
thought it would be & the headaches from coffee withdrawal were really the
worst part of the entire process.

What I gained was clarity, focus, feeling healthier, lighter.  I also gained a
new respect for my body.  I now really understand that my body is fueled
by the foods I feed it, so, I want to be sure to select the premium fuel!

How does this relate to my business?  Well, the experience of cleansing my
body has helped me to realize that it was time for me to cleanse the
business area of my life.  I was hoping to gain greater clarity, focus, a
feeling of a healthier & lighter business!! 

I started by noticing that there is a whole lot of "stuff" in my business that
really wasn't helping me to reach my goals.  People, tasks, even just simple
things!! 

So, for the past few days I have slowed down & just stopped doing a lot of
the things I am "supposed" to be doing and I am focusing on getting back
to the basics, just like eating only fruits, vegetables chicken & fish.  What I
have gained is a new clarity on the direction of my business!

So, I challenge you to look at the tasks, people or other "stuff" in your
business that are keeping you from reaching your goals and while your
at it, remove what isn't working for you in all the areas of your life!

WE would love to hear about the clarity & focus you gain...

      Thanks Carrie! I've noticed I am more deliberate about my
      actions, instead of doing a whole lot of nothing that wasn't
      really producing real results.

    Tera, I think this is a wonderful insight to have and to share. It is so true. What we put into our bodies affects how we think and feel about ourselves and others. What and who we surround ourselves with does the same thing. Clearing out the clutter, whereever it may reside, can do wonders for putting you back on the direct path of your journey. Brilliant sharing. Thank you.
