Spend time alone

Spend time alone

Last week I wrote about what it means to have true joy and this week I want to elaborate on how to seek that joy. Here is a great question: Are you spending time alone? I don’t mean being lonely, that is not being the same as being alone. Being alone is sitting on the couch reading a book in an empty house or simply taking a car ride to nowhere to think. So why is this important? Well answer this, how do you get to know someone if you are not spending time with them? Really, there isn’t any other way to get to know someone. So why not let that someone be you. Get to know yourself. As a coach, I have discovered many people don’t really know themselves. Many people are living a life that someone else wants them to live. Is that you? As I mentioned last week, clear your schedule and make time for yourself daily. Your life will change as a result of you spending time with yourself. Ask me how do I know? :)

True Joy

True Joy

 

Dictionary.com says the meaning of joy is the “feeling of great pleasure and happiness.” Do you have joy on the job? Before we can ask do we have joy in the workplace, we must first ask do we have joy within ourselves. I heard this phrase the other day and it was life-changing, the phrase was “whatever you believe you are 100% correct,”. How true is this for you? What do you believe about yourself? Many issues we have in the workplace stem from some internal belief we have. Take a moment and ask yourself what brings you true joy; spend some time with yourself and take time out of the busy schedule you created to do the things that bring you “true joy.” Make a list of what do you believe about yourself. Here are three things I believe about myself:

 

1.     I will change the world in my own way

2.     I will get what I want 

3.     I am beautiful inside and out

Lessons from the storm

Lessons from the storm

 

My beautiful home state of Florida just experienced the most massive hurricane in years. I believe the state officials were fully prepared and ready to respond. Here are some lessons I learned from the storm that I wanted to pass along:

 

1.     Always be prepared. Don’t get prepared when someone prompts you to. 

2.     Use your down time wisely. No cable or internet is a perfect time to bond with family, meditate, and spend time with yourself. 

3.     Stay off Social Media unless you need to get updates. Nothing is going on. 

4.     Be patient with rebuilding and starting over. 

 

These are just some observations I had and wanted to share. Please feel free to share yours.

Take a break

Take a break

 

Are you constantly on the go? Are you always doing something and you never have time to stop and think? I believe these are questions we must answer more than once in our lives. I know I am not an exception. I am always going and doing something, however, I decided to stop for today. I am going to binge watch a television series, people keep talking about. Now, do I have many other things I could be doing, yes of course. I decided to stop at a certain time today and start watching the series. I will stop and focus on the series on purpose. What can you do to shut your brain off just for today? You and your brain deserve it. Also, look at the best part to this, you just never know where your next idea will come from, so take a break.
