Lifestyle Wednesdays - "Finding Your Center in a World Of Chaos and Distraction"
Cell phones, sometimes two and three at a time, having to deal with the responsibility of "Staying Active," and Social Commitments, Family and personal responsibilities is enough to drive all of us right out of our "Zen Zone." While, I am not the expert in the area of meditation, and yoga, per say, I understand the importance of having Work/Life Balance, in order to be successful at Entrepreneurship, and in order to achieve my personal goals.
According to HR.com, ( https://www.hr.com/en/app/blog/2017/01/creating-work-life-balance-in-2017_iy0fu7a1.html) in a recent survey done, asked 1000 individuals how many of them responded to Work Related Emails after work hours, and a not so surprising, 50% of the group, responded that they did.
Its no surprise at all, that in this ever present rat race that we exist in, its hard NOT to get sucked into the chaos and the noise. Considering things, and ending up in an endless cycle of procrastination and guilt for the procrastination, and then spreading yourself thin, while you try to make sure you put in your work with the family, and your social life...Any of this sound familiar?
We must consistently remember to check in with ourselves? Evaluate where you are in your desires. Ask your self are you satisfied with how much energy you are spending in each area of your life. Force time to just relax and do something "mindless," because you deserve it. Prioritize your responsibilities in each area and make a plan for how to deal with those thing (Make sure you include "Enjoy Life," on there!) And pace yourself as you approach these things. Watch the unnecessary noise roll away when you begin to gage your life from this vantage point.
I encourage, spend time enjoying the small things, the details, the things we overlook and take for granted daily. Ditch the guilt. Toot your own horn more. A little piece of personal bliss awaits you.
