Gratitude sets the Ground Work for a Great Gathering!
By Linda Sturdivant
Ladies, has this ever happened to you?
You spend the afternoon preparing for your gathering. The project is awesome and you’re sure everyone is going to love it! You’ve got your supplies packed, samples, display boards and customer packets ready. You are confident it’s going to be a fantastic show.
· Then as things sometimes happen, you are 5 minutes late getting out the door. No problem, it happens.
· Then you get to the car and you find that you are completely out of gas. Wonderful, now you’re going to be 20 minutes late.
· Next you jump on the freeway and it’s bumper to bumper traffic.
This exact scenario happened to me just 2 weeks ago. As I was driving, I realized that thinking about being late was not going to help me get there faster or to feel good when I arrived. So I decided to interrupt my mental “stressing out” with the words Thank You. I started thinking Thank You, Thank You, Thank You over and over again. At first it just interrupted my mental complaining which was what I had intended. But then I started to think about things I am really grateful for – like having a gathering to go to, that the weather was good and that I have a car to drive to my gathering!
Guess what happened? I actually arrived 5 minutes EARLY! Wow – I don’t know how that’s even possible! But I was there 5 minutes early. And I felt great too. I walked in cool and collected and the gathering was one of my most successful! 80% of the people wanted to book an appointment with me.
Imagine how great it would be to walk into your gathering calm and confident after being stress out just a short time before. So, set the groundwork for a successful gathering by managing your mental state. You can sing along to your favorite music, or listen to training CDs in the car. Personally, I like the words Thank You because I always have them with me.
