7 ways to increase engagement

7 ways to increase engagement

I was in a workshop while ago, and during one of the activities, I started a list. The prompt: What can I do when I'm unenthused, uninspired and (gasp!) bored to re-engage and get going? I came with some of the things I've used in the past and realized "getting going" is really only as far away as a thought and an action.

Here are seven things to do (and any one will get you started) to kick into gear:

1)    Walk around the block (or around the building) three times.
2)    Call a mentor and ask an "off-the-wall" question.
3)    Open a search engine and type two of your old hobbies separated by "and." ( _______ and _______)

4)    Subscribe to a magazine "on the fringe" of your interests.
5)    Read the second to the last chapter of a business book best-steller.
6)    Make a list of 7 people you'd like to meet.
7)    Shop for two postcards of your town/city, and send them to an out-of-state friend.

Just a little bit of action just may get you moving. Try any one of these, and, please, let me know how it worked! Oh, and if you have one I missed, please forward it my way...just send an e-mail.
