Awake your inner Hulk

There is tremendous power and strength inside all of us. A dormant giant is waiting to be awakened. We all come from the same universal source, we just need to tap into it and not let it go to waste. We are not machines, machines degrade every time they get used, no matter the quality it was build with.

Unlike machines, human beings get better every time they do something. Our mind and body get worst when we do nothing, but when both mind and body get engaged in a positive way, we can achieve almost anything. The important thing is we need to come into action, massive action, not tomorrow but now.... yes at this moment.

George Balanchine said: “Why are you stingy with yourself? Why are you holding back? What are you saving for-for another time? There are no other times. There is only now. Right now”

If you have an idea immediately follow it up by doing something in the direction of that idea, no matter how small. You can write it down, make drawing, put it in your calendar no matter what it is do something. There is incredible power in that. When you bring something from the 'non-existent-world', your mind, into the physical-world, transformation happens and energy starts to flow. When energy flows that's when your inner 'Hulk' wakes up.

Your 'dormant giant' might look inactive when you don't tap into him. If that was the case than it's may be only a waste of the to you available energy and power. Unfortunate if you don't use your inner 'Hulk' it will start using you. That sounds like nonsense but it isn't. Think about procrastination, addictions, depression, petty crimes, wrong eating habits,  all outings of boredom.

An old expression says: idleness is the mother of vice. Scripture teaches idleness or the lack of action, feeds the seven sins:Wrath, extreme anger; Greed , intensive selfish desire for material things; Sloth, reluctance to work; Vanity, excessive pride, Lust, excessive desire; Envy, jalousie; Gluttony, excess in eating. Now before you dismiss all this, I  invite you to look at it again. Is this really so different as I described earlier?

I dare to say that you are lucky if your inner giant stays asleep when you don't come into positive action. We see unfortunately enough examples, even in our near surrounding, where boredom or the lack of action turns into something very negative and far greater than just being passive or doing nothing.

So don't waste that power and wake up that giant inside of you, put it to work, bring your ideas in reality and follow your dreams. In other words; use that inner strength, get up and come into massive action.

10 tips to get more things done in a day...

Dear...

Successful people are getting more things done in a day than most other people...
Here are 10 tips to not only do more but also do things better and smarter.

1. Start the day with a full thank of energy
This means make sure that you'll get enough sleep, eat and drink well before the day starts.
Try to get regular sleep at regular hours. Take time for your morning ritual, shower, getting dressed, breakfast. If you start your day in a hurry, you might feel hurried the rest of the day. Get up an hour earlier and you will get more done. Start the day with an hour for yourself (exercise, meditate) and your day starts of flying.
2. Make a daily to do list
Make list of the things you want (and can) achieve during the day. They can be ambitious but need to be achievable as well. Break big tasks down in smaller ones. E.g. your overall goal might be getting fitter, but that's not a daily task, so its better to say today I'll 3K run.
3. Kiss the frog
Do the tasks you have to do but least like to do first. By doing this the rest of the day will be more productive. Turn it around and you will drag everything you have to do that day.
4. Don't multitask
It's absolutely true, most people cannot multitask. Instead of thinking that you are one of the view who can, it is better to organize your work in such way that you work from task to task. You will achieve more and with higher quality.
5. Be smart with your email
Doing email can be a black hole. Set specific times apart to do your email. Try to look at an email only once (answer, convert to task, archive or discard). Keep a zero email discipline... no emails left at the end of the day. Have good email habits: don't answer when you are on the cc list; limit the emails you send out yourself and be careful who you put on your to and cc list.
6. Shut down Social Media
Limit and set specific time aside for social media, this will increase you productivity enormously. Turn off the push notifications on your phone and close social media completely on your lap top for most part of the day. Define specific moments, when you will look at social media... no more than 3 during your work day.
7. Eat well
Never deplete your energy completely. With good nutrition you can make sure that you refill your energy reserve constantly. So eat smart and regularly.
8. Exercise a lot 
Especially if you have desk work, exercise multiple times during the day. Start your day with some stretching or yoga, take walks during your breaks and have a good work-out once a day or at least multiple times per week. It's not only healthy for your body and mind but it will increase your daily productivity.
9. Capture you ideas
Capture your ideas on a list or in a notebook. Write them down when have one. Note them, but look at them at them when you have time for it. It keeps your creative juice flowing but overtime you will see that among your great ideas many of them will help you to get more done during a day.
10. Look at the big picture
If you are motivated you will get more things done. Make sure that once a day you remind yourself why you do the things you are doing. Meditate over it, pray, write ... whatever suits you best, but set at least 30 minutes a day aside to be grateful for what you have and to understand where you are heading and what your goal is in life.

Peak energy for peak performance ...

Dear...

Becoming a successful high achiever is not only a matter of being mentally prepared, setting goals, being motivated and having a good plan. You also need to make sure that your energy always at peak level is. Low energy will make you less persistent, resilience, focussed and less strong to follow through.

There are two ways to boost your energy and to keep it at the highest level. The first one is through your nutrition and the second one through your life style habits.

Nutrition: Be as conscious as what you eat as to what you don't eat. Keep your sugar levels in balance. Stay hydrated and spread your meals out over the day, but don't eat before you go to sleep.  What you basically want to make sure is that you keep on burning fat. Prevent storing fat or starving yourself by not eating. Stay away from processed food, high carbs diets and sugar drinks such as all fruit drinks and sodas. Make sure you have a low carb diet, a lot of greens and eat only low or no trans fat proteins.

Life style habits: Stretch and exercise regularly. Have enough sleep but don't sleep too much. Make sure you have stress reducing activities, like listening to music. Have real interaction with people not only through social media. And last but not least make sure you'll get as much natural day light as you can in other words go outside, preferable into nature.

Managing your energy and maintaining it at highest level will set you up to achieve extraordinaire things or as Benjamin Franklins said it: "Energy and Persistence conquers all things".
