You may be in a productive frame of mind, which may compel you to work single-mindedly. While it is important to focus and take positive action toward your goals, you may want to also consider taking short breaks to not only assess your progress but also your needs. If you notice that there is tension in any part of your body while you work, such as the forehead, neck, or lower back, you are receiving body signals that are telling you to slow down. This would be a good time to think about working toward your goals in a way that is smarter and has less impact on your body. You might find that checking in with yourself throughout the day allows you to accomplish what you set out to do in a healthier and more effective manner.

When a group of two hundred executives were asked what makes a person
successful, eighty percent listed enthusiasm as the most important
quality. More important than skill. More important than training.
Even more important than experience.
Before water will produce enough steam to power an engine, it must
boil. The steam engine won’t move a train an inch until the steam
gauge registers 212 degrees. Likewise, the person without enthusiasm
is trying to move the machinery of life with lukewarm water. Only one
thing will happen: that person will stall.
A. B. Zu Tavern asserts that enthusiasm is electricity in the
battery. It’s the vigor in the air. It’s the warmth in the fire. It’s

Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar
ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.
Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based on your
ability to deal with people.
Have a firm handshake.
Look people in the eye.
Sing in the shower.
If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
Keep secrets.
Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
Always accept an outstretched hand.
Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the
difference.
Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.
Lend only those books you never care to see again.
Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.
Give people a second chance, but not a third.
Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is
as important as it first seems.
Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for
your convenience, not the caller’s.
Be a good loser.
Be a good winner.
Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
Keep it simple.
Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.
Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross

You know, Lord,
How I serve You
With great emotional fervor
In the limelight.
You know how eagerly
I speak for You
At a women’s club.
You know how I effervesce
When I promote
A fellowship group.
You know my genuine enthusiasm
At a Bible study.
But how would I react , I wonder,
If You pointed to a basin of water
