To make sure I am self improving I try to attend the most recent classes on the topics that are valid for today's market.  Not only do I try to improve my knowledge of my field, but I make sure to have self care time each week.  For me that is spending quality time with family or doing the activities I enjoy.

This year I took steps to acquire my GRI designation and instead of doing it in 5 years - I was able to do it in 1 and it has been a great way to connect with other local agents.  Sharing stories - good and bad- was very rewarding!  I would highly recommend it (but you don't have to do it in 12 months!)  Then, stick with what works !  Exercise!  Eat Right! and Church!!

A durable strategy of self improvement is not something one applies to the outside, like clothing, but a fundamental change in how one perceives that which surrounds them. This perceptions relies on being in the moment, allow vulnerability, examining motive for the two fatal flaws.

For me, durable self-improvement comes from the tested life, the life that embraces challenge. Inviting challenge on a daily basis, through real exercise, aligns the body, mind and spirit to be receptive to doing more, better and for exceptional purposes.

Here is a link to the 34 Attributes of Exercise.

Reading this list affirms why I endure the pain and do so with expectation.

Best of Success,
