In last week’s Delivering Marketing Joy, Episode 100, Seth Godin makes the statement, “Deciding to be Fantastic!” This concept opens up additional notions of how we control our moods – don’t let the trials of today keep you from the joys of tomorrow!
Have you ever had that day where nothing seemed to be going your way? Was everything completely out of your control? It’s true that many times things might slip through our fingers, which can make things very frustrating. There are also times where we can’t put a positive spin on our circumstances, such as a death in the family.
But most of the time we do have a choice, we can look at our circumstances from two different perspectives. First, we can decide that there is no positive way to look at this incident. Or conversely, we can ask ourselves “What can I take away from this issue?” You may decide that you can choose to learn and never make that mistake again. Also, sometimes taking a break before a second look might allow you to see a different outcome or solution. So you do have the decision to be fantastic! Your attitude and outlook are completely in your control; don’t let anyone else make you think any differently.
Positive people lead healthier and happier lives. Stress is a silent killer, although it is in all of our lives we can counteract it with positive thinking. Every little bit helps, you will notice that changing your mindset becomes easier the longer you practice it.

The Word of the Week is Focus! In this video, Kirby discusses how you shouldn’t just rely on the multitasking to get your work done. We can all have lots on our plates at any given minute. I know I am always getting overwhelmed trying to get all of the required tasks done, not to mention the other responsibilities, I would prefer to finish. But doing them all at the same time takes longer and at the end of the day, you will have completed less. Take time to focus….try not to get overwhelmed. Put your tasks in order of priority and then start working on checking them off, one by one. The best way to do work is by focusing for an allotted time and then taking a short break. This allows your brain to rest and reset, as where multitasking is doing something completely different.
Multitasking is continually interrupting your brain when it is trying to focus, inhibiting it to form the same train of thought. You may have noticed that sometimes it might take you a few minutes to get into the groove of a particular task. This is normal; it can take a few minutes for our brains to switch completely to a task. Because of this can you imagine what your brain is doing when you multitask? Studies say that you end up getting less done. Oh and you can save yourself some frustration when only working on one project at a time. Yes, some days this might seem impossible when you’re struggling to balance everything on time. So try to do your best at keeping everything in sequence. Now go ahead……Buckle down and get focused!
