Re-energize Yourself

Sometimes, we need to pause, refocus, and re-energize — both ourselves and our businesses. You might be surprised at how small changes can make a big difference. In fact, it’s often the little shifts that spark excitement, lift our energy, and help us step into a new reality.

So, how will you create a shift, re-energize, and refocus?

Here are 5 guiding questions to get you started:

1. Refocus & Set Goals for the Next Six Months

Take 30 minutes to reflect on what you’d love to achieve by the end of the year. Ask yourself:

• What am I tired of and ready to change?

• What would make the biggest difference in my life or work right now?

• What’s the one thing I’d regret not accomplishing by year’s end?

• What are my top three priorities for the rest of the year?

• What’s one small step I can take this week to move closer to those goals?

  
  

2. Change One Self-Sabotaging Habit

Notice where you trip yourself up daily. For instance, I used to check my email before I even got out of bed, which pulled me away from my morning rituals. Now, I wait until 11:30 a.m. to check email — a small change that protects my focus.Ask yourself:

• Where do I sabotage myself?

• What will I say no to?

• What can I do differently to support my success?

3. Shift Your Senses

Freshen up your environment by engaging all five senses:

• Sight: Change your décor, hang new artwork, or wear a new color.

• Hearing: Try a new playlist or podcast.

• Smell: Light a scented candle or use essential oils.

• Taste: Add new flavors to your meals.

• Touch: Upgrade your workspace textures — a soft blanket, smooth pen, or cozy chair.

  
  

4. Renew Your Daily Routine

Even small tweaks can create fresh energy. Try:

• A different tea or coffee blend (and treat yourself to a new favorite mug).

• Showering at a different time of day.

• Adding meditation, stretching, or a morning run.

• Shaking up your schedule just enough to feel renewed.

  
  

5. Refresh & Energize Your Workspace

Create a space that inspires you:

• Replace outdated quotes or images with new, uplifting ones.

• Ensure everything you use regularly is within easy reach.

• Bring in fresh flowers or greenery.

• Move things around to signal to your brain: things are changing for the better!

  
  

Bonus: Declutter Your Desk

Take 30 minutes to clear your workspace: file papers, toss dead pens, recycle outdated notes, and dust your surfaces. You’ll feel lighter and more ready for action.

Bonus: Breathe Life Into Your Day

Start your morning with conscious breathing:

• Inhale deeply into your belly for 6 counts.

• Hold for 2 counts.

• Exhale for 4 counts.Repeat for 2 minutes. This simple act oxygenates your blood, calms your mind, and instantly boosts your energy.
