Step into the unknown… And keep experimenting…
Pause and reflect from time to time… Become willing to make mistakes and learn from them…
You’re capable of far more than you think… Because you are far more than you think… Discover your path by walking it… And be grateful for the highs… Graceful in the lows… And do your best… To enjoy yourself… Every step of the way… Secure in your increasing understanding… Of how the system works…
Last week I watched a video of Tom Biley - the founder of Impact Theory, and what he said stuck me: Birds can fly but stay at the same place because they are used to it. We also can do great things even we cannot imagine yet if we want it bad enough and we are committed to take action, but we tend to keep doing the same thing every day.
If we feel not happy about our life, if we have felt it for long, we want to do something about it. If we have felt numb about life, we want to spark the lights again.
Have you ever told yourself “I am lazy. I am putting off doing things” …because you find that you want to do something but you don’t do it for some reason? Or maybe you do it once or twice, and then you stop.
You may have reasons or excuses of not doing something. But after reflecting on it, you realize the reasons are not true, so you start blaming yourself. And that doesn't work either. You still don't do the things you need to do. You spend hours in front of the laptop, but you don’t type, you don’t take the first action you need to do, no matter how simple it is.
But you also experience moments when you are tired but you gear yourself up to take the action needed because a project is important to do.
You are here because you know you can change. You have to change something but maybe it is not clear what is the "something" and how to start it and then to make a lasting change.
I remember 3 years ago, I got involved in a project – managing the quality of the program – I just needed to send an email informing people about the program – asking about their involvement – but I didn’t! but I completed a book! I would argue the book was more difficult to complete (or at least taking more time)…I completed it.
Have you felt like that? There is something maybe something simple like sending an email, not that challenging but you don’t do it. But how is it that you could do something more difficult?
Why? It is because you don’t find the compelling reasons for doing it or you don’t create compelling reasons for doing it.
But before that, you want to have a good starting point – an empowering way of looking at you – your own identity – to direct you from a delaying person into an effective person.
Let’s break it down how can we tackle it:
1.Changing how do you tell yourself about procrastination. (The word means, putting off things, maybe being lazy about doing something.)
Changing from I am a procrastinating person to:
“I am learning to take action on time”.
“I am an effective action taker” and I identify the habits of the on-time person.
2. Choose the one procrastinated thing to do first.
List all the things you need to do but you postpone doing them, and choose the most important thing to finish first.
3. Identify the reason why you want to do the project.
4. Break the project down into pieces.
5. Schedule what you need to do + Create triggers to remind you.
Master the transition time
“Do you ever carry over any negative energy from one activity to the next?
Do you keep the sense of presence and appreciation for life and others throughout the day?”
(High performance habits, Brendon)
These things are challenging for most of us, as we go throughout a day with a full schedule. But as in the book “High performance habits”, the practice of mastering the transition time can do a great help – we can release the tension after each activity and set intention for the next one to maintain our vibrancy, positive energy and focus.
It is common that we tend to ring the energy from one activity to another activity. After arguing with a friend, we bring the energy to the next meeting and feel uncomfortable. After having a trouble at home, we go to work in a down mood, not feeling engaged with our work or our co-workers. After going home from a long working day, we are tired and we don’t feel present with our kids or wife/husband. When we master the transition time, release the tension of the previous activity and set the intention for the next activity, we can re-energize and engage in the next activity.
HOW?
There are different ways of releasing the tension and setting intention after each activity. I remember a friend, Peter, our Vice President of Membership in our speaking club told us his interesting way of maintaining his compassion when going home after a long working day: he took a nap at his car before going home. Feeling rested, he released the tension from the long working day and spent quality time in the moment with his family. Another friend, Ms Huong, an entrepreneur with 5 businesses but always spending quality time with family, told me her way to master the transition time: “I go to the gym before going home to release the tension of the whole day before going home. I make sure my family has the best version of me as my work does”.
What is your favourite way of releasing the tension after each activity to make sure you don’t let the previous activity to influence the next one?
Here are some ways to release the tension after one activity before starting to the next one:
- Use block time to divide your day into different chunks of time:
o You intensively focus on one project at one block time (around 50 minutes)
o You take a break 5-10 minutes: release tension, set intention
§ Going for a walk around your block
§ Mediate
§ Going to ask your co-worker about their day
§ Paint
§ Journal
§ Listen to your favourite book
§ Listen to music
§ Re-connect with your dreams/exiciting goals
o Set intention for the next activity
§ What outcomes you want to achieve
§ What feeling you want to experience
§ What values you will bring
Hope you have a wonderful day, mastering your transition time to maintain your super loving energy!
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
You have a dream, you have a goal, you want to be more confident, you want to be healthier, you want to feel lively…You want to develop a skill, you want to read a book, you want to take a challenge, you want to speak up in front of others, you want to wake up to do exercise...but you don’t feel doing it.
There are something stopping you call it either fear or doubt or lack of confidence. You know you need to choose COURAGE over FEAR to take the very first step:
“cour-age
/’kerij/ noun
The ability to do something that is difficult or scary
Stepping outside of your comfort zone
Sharing your ideas, speaking up, or showing up
Standing firm in your beliefs and values
And some days...getting out of bed.”
5..4..3..2..1…counting down to re-direct your focus on the action is a technique mentioned in the best selling book “The 5 Second Rule” of Mel Robbins.
When you want to do something, but you don’t take action, you hesitate, you have a window opportunity within 5 seconds - if you don’t move physically to take the first action, your brain will kill the opportunity.
You count 5-4-3-2-1 that activates your brain’s prefrontal cortex that gives you the control of the situation! When you want to raise your hand to speak up in front of a group of people, you hesitate, count 5-4-3-2-1 then stand up at the same time or raise your hand at the same time or shout “'I”, you let courage go beyond fear - doubts and fear disappear!
And each time you do it, you become more courageous - your confidence muscle gets stronger and stronger!
So let’s count 5-4-3-2-1 more today to take action to be more confidence to reach your full potential instead of reaching full of the fear!
You want to feel excited and energetic throughout the day. But you may get distracted by randomness.
The following habits will be your SAVERS of the day:
Start with gratitude in the morning - what do you feel thankful for;
Take a break by going for a small walk or doing meditation between different activities;
Reflect after the day - what do you feel thankful for, what did you do well and what to do differently
Re-affirm and write down:
your goals in the long run
your daily goals
your daily action to achieve the goals
Start with the first action in the morning
See, feel yourself overcoming the challenges, distractions of the day and achieve the goals - how will you think, how do you behave, who will you talk with?
wake up your body in the morning with exercise
take a break between the day
having a reading list for your one month, one week and daily
Journalling about your day
(According to MIRACLE MORNING MILLIONAIRES book)
Our dominant beliefs about ourselves
Leading to our habits
Leading to results
Leading to how we perceive ourselves
My beliefs about you: you are capable, worthy, courageous, loved, kind
You have certain skills to master.
It is a progressive
Choose a skill that you need to master;
Re-affirm the important of mastering this skill: Which goal you want to achieve by mastering the skill? Why
Envision yourself when you master the skill: what values you give, who you give the value to, who you will network with, how do you behave, what do you feel
Identify bad habits that hinder you develop the skill and good habits to replace
Schedule your practice of the habits: when will you practice it, where, with whom and practice on what
Surround yourself with the network that helps you practice it
Measure the progress
Improve based on the results of the measurement: get feedback from different people
Raise your standards
Teach others
Document the teaching in videos, books or courses
Have you practiced this?
Unplugging yourself and reflecting on your week, to envision a great coming week. Do you do it?
Reflection is like a friend that helps us to travel back the past to give us perspectives on what we did and why we didn’t do some things. It then bring us to the future we want to create. Without reflection, we keep doing the same thing without having better results. Reflection is the door to raising our awareness.
Research by Giada Di Stefano, Francesca Gino, Gary Pisano, and Bradley Staats in call centers demonstrated that employees who spent 15 minutes at the end of the day reflecting on lessons learned performed 23% better after 10 days than those who tended to forget the lessons.
A study of UK commuters found a similar result when those who were prompted to use their journey to think about and plan for their day were happier, more productive, and less burned-out than people who didn’t. (According to HBR, 2017).
To reflect effectively?
- Re-affirm what is important to you: what is your main goal or dream?
- What did you do last week that helped you move closer to your goal/dream? What habits to double down in the coming week?
- What did you do last week that didn’t hinder your getting closer to the goal/dream?
How to do things differently next week?
- What did you discover about yourself, your loved ones last week?
- What decision to make now to make a positive change next week?
- What do you feel thankful for?
“HERE IS YOUR HELMET…HAPPY HOLIDAY…”
A stranger cares!
Walking out of my house, I saw families and group people excitedly preparing to visit their hometown for holiday. The thought of being reunited, and all that warm hugs delights the loving feeling within me. I took my motorbike and went to my favorite shop, feeling loved. After riding for some minutes, my helmet fell off…I stopped the bike on the edge of the road to go back and pick it.
As I was walking to where my helmet fell, a lady is already holding it and handed it to me …She smiled and said “happy holiday…”
A stranger cares!
Kindness happens everyday, either done by people around us or ourselves. A simple act of kindness can make a person’s day.
Hope you have a great holiday! And yes, don’t forget to do random acts of kindness with a stranger or take a step back to observe it around you.
Love
Jen,
Some great sayings and facts about kindness:
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” — Mark Twain
“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” ― Henry James
“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” ― Dalai Lama XIV
A 2018 study focused on employees at a Spanish company. Workers were asked to either a) perform acts of kindness for colleagues, or b) count the number of kind acts they received from coworkers. The results showed that those who received acts of kindness became happier, demonstrating the value of benevolence for the receiver.
1. Kindness releases happy hormones
2. Kindness can reduce anxiety
3. Kindness may help alleviate certain illness
4. Kindness can reduce your stress levels
You want to be more competent at certain skills such as speaking?
You want to be more confident about you, your dream.
But there will be time you may feel doubtful about yourself, feeling scared of giving a try? or maybe you feel lack of confident when seeing others people who are so good at what you want to learn and you think maybe “it is for them, not for me?”? or maybe you feel scared of judgment?
Because of these doubts and fear, you may not take positive action to develop you to be more competent then confident!
How can you turn these doubts and fear to become EXCITEMENT to make you then take action then be better - more competent then you feel more confident about you?
One of the practice is to use CURIOSITY to trigger that EXCITEMENT!
When you feel doubtful about yourself: be curious to ask yourself “why do I feel that?” and listen to the story behind the feeling - you acknowledge the feeling and its story. Right after that, tell yourself that you don’t need to be in that state of mind, change your focus to another question “what is the one thing I can do to make me feel better, right now?’ The one thing can be going for a walk, thinking about one achievement you did in the past or right away practice a technique to be better at what you want to be better.
You are not confident about you when seeing other successful people: you may start your learning journey, you look for expert and you see their performance, you start comparing yourself and feel “you are no where now” and you overwhelm yourself with that comparison and jealousy. Acknowledge these feelings and be curious about “what is the one thing I can learn from these people” or “what is the story behind their achievement”. When you ask the curious questions, you have the answers of the process that creates their success, you choose one action to take, one step at a time.
You are scared of judgement: maybe you want to speak up but you are scared of people judging you - you imagine about it and get overwhelmed with it, you decide to protect you by not trying. At that time, be curious about the feeling, acknowledge it and be curious “what is the one thing you can learn from their feedback to be better?” Always being curious to listen and critically evaluate to see if you want to take their feedback ultimately to be better.
Have a curious week my friends,
My favourite way of practicing curiosity (coming from the book
“Spend a half hour in a coffee shop being curious about everyone in the place. Without actually talking to anyone at first, release your curiosity and pose the following questions to yourself: I wonder where they are out of balance in their lives. I wonder what they value. I wonder what they are missing in their lives, what makes them laugh, where they have constructed self-imposed limits. What do they like about the day? What are their life dreams? What empowers them? What do they like about the people they’re sitting with? At the end of the half hour, find someone you can spend a little more time with and actually ask that person the curious questions. As you ask the questions, be aware of what is happening with the other person. How does this person respond to you when you are curious? Then look at your own role in the conversation…
Afterward, be curious about your own curiosity. What did you learn about being curious? What was easy? What was hard? What made it easy or hard? How could you be more curious? What would that give you?”
GREAT QUESTIONS!
WITHOUT A GOOD QUESTION, A GOOD ANSWER HAS NO PLACE TO GO. _ Clayton Christensen
Asking questions is challenging, asking good questions is even more challenging to practice daily because we tend to talk more and give advice - yes, we want to help and we love to share. But we also know that, the more effective way to connect and help people is to listen and understand more about them. To facilitate for that process, asking questions is a great starting point, asking great questions is even an extraordinary place to start.
I hear stories about great questions triggered a turning point process of people. In an interview with Ms Van - the founder of Elsa, she told me the question made her know what she wanted to do in life is "What matter to you?". She was a Vietnamese student, going to study in the US and she was never asked before when studying in Vietnam. She didn't know how to answer at first, but by being asked many times, she went to a deeper reflection of herself and became more aware of what she wanted to do in her life.
What questions have triggered your process of change? What questions have you asked to help others to trigger their changing process?
In this morning, I am reading the book :The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More..." of Michael Bungay Stainer; it was interesting to trigger myself in practicing better the coaching habit when talking to myself, my team, my partners.
Here are 3 powerful questions to trigger our awareness about who want to become (in the book - Habits of high performance people, Brendon Burchard):
Three words that describe my best self are...
Three words that could define how I want to treat other people are...
Three skills I am trying to develop most in my life right now are...
Three questions to ask to trigger an intentional productive day are:
Three main outcomes of today are...
One think I could do today to demonstrateg exellence or real value is...
One thing I could do today to challenge my limit is...
Three questions to ask people to trigger their changing process:
What habits do you need to break?
What old stories or dated ambitions do you need to update?
What beliefs about yourself do you need to let go of?
...
Many more about questions to share...
What is the question or what are questions that trigger your turning point in life?
Habits that matter
#happyhighperformancehabits #jencoaching
When it comes to goal setting, people often talk about SMART goal. It is a great framework to really helps us identify what to work on to achieve the goal. It is even greater if it does come from a bigger picture – a place of serving of sound “impossible dream”.
A great goal that helps us grow and feel fillfuld has to come from our sound “impossible dream” which makes us feel excited but at the same time scary because we dont know exactly yet how to achieve it because we have never done it before.
For example, when i was a kid from the countryside of Vietnam, the “impossible dream” was to get full scholarships to learn abroad to open my mind then i could be more helpful. It was impossible for people around me because no-one did it before. The sound possible goal at that time would be to just get to a normal university and get married. I achieved the sound “impossible dream” because it fueld my energy and my effort each day and i made it happen.
Your goal has to be “golden” – making you feel scary and fired and worthy putting effort, great effort. It means you will tap into your great potential – what you didnt know before and add tremendous values. After having that golden goal, you are now using the SMART goal to break it down into short term action plan.
Goal is just a measure of our growth, effort we put out there – in exchanging you achieve the goal. The person you become matters!
What is your “golden goal”?
HUGS/TOUCH
and TRANSFORMATION
[If you cannot do a hug physically then virtually]
[Thói quen sống vui làm việc hiệu quả cao: Ôm, ôm thôi (không ôm bằng cơ thể thì gửi một cái ôm trực tuyến nhé)]
"What are you doing? Something happens to you?", Anna removed Brian's hands off her hands.
Brian told me the first reaction of his mother when he touched her hands after many years of not meeting each other.
His mum, Anna had lived by herself for long and she lived in a violent family in which people would not express the feelings for each other by hugging or touching.
Seeing Anna's reaction but knowing deep down, she would feel some connection from his touch, Brian told himself to slowly introduce touching and hugging to his mum.
Each day, later on, he would gently touch her, on shoulders or sometimes on the back. Some first weeks, mum kept telling him "what matters to you?" Brian just smiled.
Week by week, Anna started getting used to the touching of Brian, instead of quickly resisting, she kept silent.
After almost a year, Anna proactively touched and hugged Brian. She would demand Brian hug her whenever he left the house or seeing her. She also started being more open to hug others. She became happier and it had a lot to do with the patience of Brian when introducing Anna to a way of expressing care, love, and connection - hugging, touching!
It is beautiful, isn't it?
(Science also says about hugs' benefits:
1. Hugs reduce stress by showing your support
2. Hugs may boost your heart health
3. Hugs help you communicate with others)
Who will you hug today to show your care? [Not physically then virtually and by heart]
MEET MY MENTOR - a survivor of a fire explosion that happened 5 years ago - a conversation with the bravery within you
I met Eileyn in a meeting in Penang, Malaysia where she was the MC of the day. She gave everyone a card with the phrase "pay it forward". I didn't understand the full meaning of it.
Weeks later, a friend saw the card in my house and asked me "you watched the movie "pay it forward"?". I never heard about that movie before and found it was a great coincidence. I asked him to watch the movie with me and it was when i deeply felt the great meaning of "pay it forward": when we are kind toward others, unconditionally, and one of the others is nice to others ...the kindness keeps expanding, hundred then thousand then million will be treated kindly; positivity and fulfillment double double double... Thanks to Eileyn Chua yn for the great lesson and more...
Eileyn then experienced a fire explosion but it was magical - she survived from it. She will be sharing her inspiring journey of survival, hope, courage, bravery, and strength via Facebook live on 4th May 2021.
You can join us if you are reading this before the day or watch it online later on our youtube and podcast.
Love from Jen
“Look at your niece, isn’t she cute?” my sister asked, sending me an image. I could not move my fingers to type a single word, as I thought it was me. People would usually tell me that my niece was a copy of me when I was a kid. She was wearing a jumper, with a bright smile on her face, in the picture. It was my jumper. My sister still kept it, a Pikachu machine-knit jumper that she had bought for me when I was 13 years old.
That year, when I was 13 year old, on 3rd April, I tried to guess what my gift was when I heard my sister’s excited voice. I finally gave up the idea and asked her to just show me. She asked me to open my eyes to see the gift. I couldn’t express how happy and surprised I was to see the Pikachu jumper. The Pikachu image in yellow was highlighted on a grey background. I have been nicknamed “Lovely Pikachu” since then.
My sister worked and studied at the same time and she prepared for that gift for years. I wore it most of the time, and it became part of my life. I grew up, and it became too short for me, but I considered it a new style. I didn’t really know if I had loved Pikachu before or I loved it because of her since that day. With only this jumper, I could survive in any cold weather conditions, not because it was thick enough, but because of the warmth from my sister’s love.
As I grew up, I could do things for my sister as she had done for me. If before that I could only make everything by myself, I could now buy something and put my love into it for my sister.
She loved and appreciated every single thing that I gave her. I could not stop laughing at seeing my sister wearing the same clothes every time I went back home, even though the clothes became old and soiled. '“Are you serious? Your house can’t contain all clothes you own. U always wear the same thing anytime I come home^^ ... Please wear the nicer ones and then I would love to see you more.” I naughtly joked.
She just smiled back, as usual - the smile saying, “I feel happy wearing the clothes you gave me, especially when you are with me.”
I went to silent. I felt touched and loved.
Love is a choice. Love can make normal things special.
Have a loving week my friends
Hi, It is Jen.
Technically, I am 33 year old^^ but feeling as a 13 year old kid. Thanks for your birthday wish today, love you!
Lots of things i don't know yet but i know for sure: I love you and your dreams. I see what you all beautiful and can do great things. Thanks to everyone of you to make me a better person to serve everyday...everyday is a gratitude. I Love you!
I have learned 33 things thanks to u all:
0. Being grateful equals letting go of the "lack" feeling and replacing it with “abundant” feeling – we have it all within.
1. Be + Give = Have. The person we are, what we give, will create what we have in the outside world.
2. Think big, start one step at a time – never let the current situation define our future state.
3. Believe in yourself, your dreams; there will come the day when people believe in your dreams.... and in their own dreams.
4. Being consistent matters, 1% better everyday, with compound effect – nothing is impossible if you have a strong reason and consistent effort.
5. Believe in other peoples' dreams and walk with them to realize their dreams, your happiness doubled.
6. Everything is a choice: life is a choice, love is a choice, anger is a choice, how to respond to an event is a choice.
7. Judge less, appreciate more, life feels better, greater.
8. Everything is a reflection of ourselves. If we don’t feel comfortable with someone’s behaviour (or if we don’t feel comfortable with parts of ours) this gives us power to check-out ourselves to change for better from within.
9. Finish things strongly at the time they should be finished – that could save hours, even months of time.
10. Tackle one challenge that makes you feel uncomfortable every day. Challenge the limit.
11. Respect others’ pace and speed – people are greatest at their own pace and speed, as you are also.
12. When you know who you are what you want clearly, say "no" more often, say "no" earlier because of the 13:
13. When you say "yes", be all in all, 100%.
14. Often look ON your life to reflect upon it from outside rather than being only IN your life.
15. Welcome the unknowns, honor challenges
16. Block time – focus intensively on one thing at a time. Refresh, then re-focus.
17. Communicate more often, rather than assuming that the conversation will be difficult.
18. Doing the difficult things leads to an easier life, doing easy things leads to a difficult life.
19. Say hi to a stranger.
20. Be kind to others.
21. Respect others’ time as you respect your own time.
22. Bring joy to people in difficult times.
23. Help one person per day.
24. The best present to someone is your being present.
25. Be curious to learn about others, about their difficulties.
26. Acknowledge problem but solutions- focus.
27. Giving is living.
28. Everyone can take anything from you but not your capability – the best investment is in yourself.
29. Little things matter.
30. There is always a beautiful moment in any moment.
31. Slow down – take a break, to make a breakthrough.
32.Love is the solution for anger, disappointement, insecurity …
33. Smile as we are alive. Always remember we r all here for a bigger thing than any current situation.
“What is the most challenging thing you face as a consultant?” I asked Paul – a principles’ consultant in our coaching session.
“I don't want to be judgmental, but when I walk into a room, if I see the old timetables on the wall, I would think – wow, this is a very old-fashioned style of teamwork. If I walk into a room and see lots of brainstorming ideas – wow, this is a creative team. Assumption based on experiences. But I want to be curious and I ask “Why did they put things up like that?”, Paul said.
Have you felt like Paul before? Letting go judgment. Letting go assumption. Choosing to be curious again, over judgment to have emotional freedom.
To feel better is to find emotional freedom and beginning with less judgment.
Have a great weekend and free ourselves from judgment to feel more love my friends!
Habits create us so we create habits before it:
- Clarity: what is your intention before each day and each event: how do you want people to feel and what values to give them
- Energy: is created by living upto what matters and by giving
- Influence: is created by influencing our own self first and by challenging people to think, believe in their dreams and support their dreams
- Joy: can be created by our attitude to honor challenges and welcome the unknowns each day
This technique can help u to start a great day the night before.
Looking forward to sharing more in our next level of entrepreneurship event thanks to Robert for organising it!

[Sustainable High-Performance Habits - BLOCK TIME]
[Thói quen làm việc hiệu quả vui vẻ lâu bền - Block time Pomodoro]
Why? To sustain the level of energy and focus throughout the day by intentionally focusing on one project at a time and taking a break between important projects.
How to use Promodoro or Blocktime technique?
• List projects or activities you need to do in each day
• Each important project/activity will be allocated within a certain period of time (research suggests it will be about 50 - 90 minutes before our brain loses its most lucid state).
• Between different projects / activities, we will take a break, relax for about 5 to 10 minutes (walk or meditate or wash our face or talk to someone).
The break between activities will help us de-attach from the energy of the previous project and recharge energy to move on to the next project.
A friend of mine suggests an interesting way to relax is to walk 100 steps.
You will be the one to try it and see which relaxation method suits you best! (I like to walk around or jump rope or go to the toilet ^^).
• We can set an alarm clock every 50 - 90 minutes to remind us to stand up to relax, recharge before we run out of “battery” without knowing!
If this is your first try, you may not be familiar with it yet. But like going to the gym, you'll get used to it and your "muscles" will become firmer - you'll get used to it and it will become a habit when you allow yourself to continue doing it even you don’t feel doing in the coming days.
And if you're familiar with this method - share with 3 friends who think they can benefit from using it.
WISH YOU A GREAT WEEK!
Love, live, Give

Sử dụng kỹ thuật Promodoro để chủ động tập trung vào một việc tại một thời điểm và chủ động nghỉ giữa hai việc quan trọng để có thể lấy lại sự tập trung và năng lượng cao nhất có thể và không để cảm xúc giữa hai hoạt động ảnh hưởng nhau.
Cách sử dụng kỹ thuật Promodoro hay Blocktime:
• Liệt kê những dự án hay hoạt động bạn cần phải làm trong mỗi ngày
• Mỗi dự án quan trọng sẽ được phân bổ trong một khoảng thời gian nhất định (nghiên cứu gợi ý là sẽ khoảng 50 – 90 phút trước khi bộ não của chúng ta trở mất đi trạng thái minh mẫn nhất có thể)
• Giữa các dự án/hoạt động khác nhau, chúng ta sẽ nghỉ ngơi, thư giãn khoảng 5 đến 10 phút (đi dạo hoặc thiền hoặc rửa mặt hoặc nói chuyện với ai đó). Việc nghỉ giữa các hoạt động sẽ giúp chúng ta tách ra khỏi trạng thái năng lượng trong hoạt động trước đó, và nạp năng lượng để chuyển sang dự án tiếp theo.
Một người bạn của tôi gợi ý một cách thư giãn thú vị là đi 100 bước.
Bạn sẽ là người thử nó và xem cách thư giãn nào phù hợp nhất với bạn! (Tôi thích đi dạo xung quanh hoặc nhảy dây hoặc đi vào nhà vệ sinh^^).
• Chúng ta có thể thiết lập đồng hồ báo thức cứ 50 – 90 phút thì sẽ đứng dậy thư giãn, nạp năng lượng!
Nếu đây là lần đầu tiên bạn thử, có thể bạn chưa thấy quen với nó. Nhưng giống như đi tập ở phòng gym, bạn sẽ quen dần và “cơ bắp” của bạn sẽ trở nên rắn chắc hơn – bạn sẽ quen dần và biến nó thành thói quen khi bạn cho phép mình tiếp tục thực hiện phương pháp này trong những ngày tới.
Và nếu bạn đã quen với phương pháp này – hãy chia sẻ với 3 người bạn nghĩ họ có thể được lợi từ việc dùng nó.
CHÚC BẠN MỘT TUẦN TUYỆT VỜI!
Love, live, Give
