Get Off The Merry-Go-Round

By Sam Burns | August 26, 2018

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. Just like a merry go round, you just keep spinning in a circle! How often do we find ourselves stuck in routine of doing the same thing we did yesterday and wondering why we are not reaching our personal or financial goals? And how do we stop it? Have you ever found yourself on the merry go round and then saying "I just don't have time"?

Here are a few simple steps to break your daily cycle.

*Eliminate 30 min of television a day-that gives you 182.5 hours of time back every year.

Get up 30 min earlier each day and make a commitment not to look at your phone or emails -This will allow you extra time to workout, meditate, or to tackle a small project.

*Turn your car into a learning center, and listen to audio books or CDs that help with personal or spiritual growth.

*Make a commitment to eliminate one garbage bag of clutter in your home or office. - less clutter helps eliminate stress.

And when you do find yourself spinning out of control, never make a decision or send an email when you are (H.A.L.T)

Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired

Simple shifts in our daily routine can get us more centered, declutter our mind and help us get off the crazy ride of the merry go round.
