Sit, Kneel, Stand

​                             If it's not working do something different!

Making changes (even little ones) will enable you to -

• Have more fun
• Get sh*t done

How are you wired?
Are you a fidgeter like me? Is your tendency to be the kind of still that makes you lazy and unproductive, or maybe you push to the point of exhaustion. Whatever your innate style is, the important thing is to notice and help yourself toward creating focused success. 

Since I started my coaching practice in 2009, I have spent a lot of time sitting and it doesn't really suit me. I'm fidgety. So I thought I would create a makeshift standing desk before I buy one, and it's working. 

I get to move a bit while still doing my work. I actually feel better too. I have more energy and can concentrate for much longer times. I also use my kneeling chair and the table that's next to me when it's time to sit for a spell. 

• I can move around right where I am so I'm not avoiding focusing or getting distraction by my bodily discomfort. 
• I'm empowering myself by doing something different and being willing to change. 

Part of my - stop fidgeting - practice is to not move for at least five minutes during my morning meditation. I've noticed my stillness has helped me with being less impulsive and I am grateful. It's hard to slow my brain and body down. I'm simply wired that way.  

1. Fidgeters: You need to learn to stay focused.

• Practice sitting still for 5 minutes every day and build up over time
  

2. Stillness Lovers: You need to move even when you don't want to.

• Practice moving for 15 minutes every day without stopping and build up

3. Drivers and Pushers: You need to take a break. STOP and smell the roses, or the coffee, or just look at your naval for 5 minutes every day without stopping
The trick is to keep remembering to practice this practice!

You have to make adjustments in how you do things in order to make the changes you desire.
