Life can get crazy – house, work, family, it all adds up to make us go kind of crazy. We can start to focus on one aspect of our life so much and kind of just coast through the rest. Or worse, imagine this, life is going great and we’re so busy keeping it going great, that we forget to just enjoy it. I think it happens to all of us more than we realize. We get up in the morning and go to work, driving in the dark (especially in the winter). We spend our day working, and then drive home in the dark. We fix dinner for the family, oversee homework tuck the little ones into bed and collapse in front of the television for a few hours of well deserved zoning out. Lather rinse and repeat day after day. All those things have to get done on a daily basis, I’m not disputing that, but instead of doing them on auto pilot, why not stop and really pay attention to what you’re doing. You may be doing a report for your boss that is tedious as heck, but take a second and think about how that report is helping. It’s helping you keep your job, it’s helping your boss, and it’s helping a client, which in turn could be helping other people. Spending time overseeing your kiddo’s homework isn’t just an exercise in sheer frustration because you don’t understand the math. It’s an opportunity to spend time with your amazing children, and see the world through their eyes. Even that time spent zoning out on the sofa….it’s not just a time to catch up on the Bachelor or Survivor….it’s a time to recharge your batteries and enjoy time with yourself, and with your sweetie. So don’t just coast through life…live it!
