Win or lose, we see the determination, passion and energy of athletes from all walks of life. We hear their compelling life stories and find our own energy recharged to go out and find a way to improve our personal endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The elite athletes remind us that the human story is really the heart and soul of what drives us every day. We all need to take stock of what we value and what we need. When we understand what counts most and how we serve ourselves best, our productivity accelerates because we free ourselves of the should haves, could haves and what ifs \u2013 allowing us to experience authenticity to our wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Simone Biles did the world a favor with her brave act of withdrawal from competitions. She knew her limitations and she vocalized a need to pause, regroup and recharge so she could be in control of her destiny. The life lesson learned is that the important \u201cpause\u201d in our lives allows us to succeed, not fail. It is a moment in time where we are one with our intuition letting us know it is time to go for the \u201cGold\u201d or time to put the breaks on our efforts. Listening to our inner voice is really important in a culture of immediate gratification. So often, we act like Leap Frogs, bouncing from one spot to the next just to react to an inner or outer request. This can be exhausting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Before you leap into your day, take time in the morning to just pause for a few minutes to reflect on what is on your To Do list. Visualize how your actions will unfold. Adjust your plan, if necessary, when that inner voice tells you this might not work for today\u2019s agenda. Or if that instinct tells you this is the day to make things happen, down your coffee, put your best foot forward and use your power to complete the critical tasks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Many Productivity Coaches are advocates of understanding your values and needs so when you do take that pause, you are in the driver\u2019s seat. Clearly Simone Biles knows what she values and needs in order to achieve her goals. Do you look before you leap?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">#lookbeforeyouleap #decideyourdestiny #lessonsfromolympians #simonebiles #capturedclutter<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Stay connected to more perspectives on productivity: <a href=\"https:\/\/lp.constantcontactpages.com\/su\/rsISsVg\/2021\"><span class=\"s2\">https:\/\/lp.constantcontactpages.com\/su\/rsISsVg\/2021<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Captured Clutter is here to help you with your pause, reflection, decision and destiny.
