In my books and Trainings, I often talk about being “Busy;” too many times “Busy” gets in the way of us being “Better.” The truth is… “Busy” does matter as it keeps your day afloat and your head just above water. Your Busy got your kids ready for school, crossed off the important things at work (at least for the day), took your kids to their practices and games, came home to cook dinner, do the dishes, get the kids to bed, and REPEAT… sound familiar? “Busy” got all of that done, but what about your relationship or relationships?
Being “Busy” does not mean you are relationship/s are getting better… most likely they are getting worse while we are busy doing the duties of the day… and that’s not Leadership or Work/Life Harmony! Therefore, get curious about your significant other, your kids, your friends, and yourself! What would you like to do with others? How has your idea of fun changed over the years and what is it now? What does your partner, kids, and/or friends need MOST from you right now? Are you willing to do it a bit out of your comfort zone; marrying what you want to do and give with what they really need?
Once you have your answers, be sure to put your relationship/s and YOU in the calendar on your phone with notifications … so “Busy” doesn’t beat you… allowing you to have date nights, time with friends, time with your kids, some Me-Time, and some spontaneous fun your future self will thank you for… Be Mindful and Enjoy your Evolution!!!
