We all have days when we feel less energised, motivated or happy. I’ve had one of those days today and wanted to snap myself out of it.
I have a list of 10 things I remind myself when the need arises. I hope this helps you when you need it too.
My Top 10 things that make me happier any time!
1 – Be grateful for everything that is good in your life – count the things and ‘feel the positivity’
2 – Take time to reflect on the people you love & appreciate (and who love and appreciate you)
3 – Notice the good things that are happening in your life, focus your attention on them
4 – Direct your thoughts, start to look for opportunities (rather than barriers or issues)
5 – When negative things come up, ask yourself “How does this help me become better?”
6 – Notice your inner voice, practice developing it to move from ‘the critic’ to ‘the coach’
7 – Stand Up, look up, put your shoulders back – you will instantly feel more positive
8 – Breathe – take 5 x deep breaths, it helps you to re-oxygenate and relaxes you
9 – Think of something or someone that makes you Smile (then smile 😉) – it releases endorphins and makes you feel good
10 – Remember – what you focus on expands and grows – with practice you become more and more positive!
We are all human and at times we just need to focus our attention on reconnecting with ourselves and being happy – today is one of those days!

Whether you’re new to sales, an experienced sales professional or a leader looking to improve the consistency and performance of your sales organisation, you’ll gain immense value from these articles, the scorecard and the INSPIRE, INFLUENCE, SELL book. Our systems map out a memorable sales process over several steps and also include mastery content for each stage of the system, which will give you deeper insight and expertise. The combination of foundational and specialist material ensures that no matter where you’re starting from, you can become a skilled salesperson.
You might want to work through these articles at the foundational level and return to the Sales Mastery sections once you get to grips with the overall system and have developed your skills. Each article starts with an experience story in which I share relevant, valuable anecdotes. If you prefer to dive straight into the sales system, you can skip that content. These articles are designed to be accessible and flexible, so that you get the most out of them.
As you work through each stage, I suggest you make notes in a journal or notebook. This will help you learn and adopt the content.
