How to Execute Well

What are the four ways to do well, depending on what you need?

• Focused and driven - To generate more focus, determination, passion, vitality, courage, and direction, try this:

Engage more of your forward fire by leaning slightly forwards in your chair. Take 2 or 3 breaths into your chest, pushing and pulling the air. Bring your fingertips together like an arrow and point forwards. Focus your gaze on a point. Feel the tone of your muscles and the heat and movement in your body.

• Organised and composed - To build a sense of stability, order, trust, structure, and reliability, try this:

Ground yourself down into your roots by feeling your feet on the floor and your body on the chair. Relax a little more into this support. Breath slowly into your belly. Imagine yourself as a mountain or the roots of a tree. Take your hands and imagine you were slowly putting things into boxes.

• Collaborating and flexible - To cultivate more flexibility, collaboration, acceptance, receptivity, empathy and ease, try this:

Relax into your flow by sitting back, softening your spine, belly, jaw and gaze. Breathe slowly into the area around your stomach; emphasise the out-breath, perhaps with a sigh. Sense the fluidity of your body, maybe even allow your body to move a little. Turn your palms upwards or allow them to float from side to side.

• Creative and visionary - To tap into your creativity, spontaneity, humour, playfulness, and vision, try this:

Lift up with your wings by sitting upright and allowing your head to be light on your shoulders. Bring your awareness to the top of your head and face; pay attention to the air moving at your nostrils. You can even imagine you’re breathing rainbows. Take your fingers out in front of you; imagine they’re tracing the horizon. Say wow.
