CHOOSE YOU

2/25/20233 min read

You have not heard from me for a couple of weeks. I have been doing a lot and had to choose whether to push and post or take a break and recover from an intense few weeks. I "chose me".

Are you prepared to "choose you"?

Do you think for example - “I can’t disappoint others”; “What will they think of me”; “I don’t want to be seen as weak”; or “I don’t want to be a failure”?

Oh yes, those thoughts still do rear their ugly heads but I quickly remind myself that failure would be to know and teach how important it is to recharge and reset, yet not take time to recharge and reset. Failure would be not loving myself enough to put my wellbeing first; and trying to serve others on “empty”.

Well, that is exactly what I have been doing - recharging and resetting so that I can do all I have to do authentically.

Here is how to choose you:

  1. Prioritize your personal life over work

  2. Prioritize self-care and personal time - take care of your needs outside of work

  3. Create space for the things that matter most to you outside of your job

  4. Give yourself time and space to pursue personal interests

  5. Take breaks from work

  6. Focus on personal growth and development

  7. Make time for personal relationships

Here are the benefits of choosing you:

  1. A greater sense of purpose and fulfillment

  2. Reduced stress and improved overall well being

  3. Creativity and innovation - your mind is allowed to relax and explore new ideas

  4. Prevents burnout and fatigue - you show up energized and engaged in your job

  5. Strengthened connections with others so greater social support and improved mental health

  6. A happier and more satisfying life

Now, just in case you were wondering what I’ve been up to?

Your Weekend Reset Tip:

Recharge and reset by (1) taking time (create some space) to have fun with your spouse or close friend(s). Have a date night or games evening. (2) (create space for) investing time and effort into your marriage and/or important relationships. Cook, garden, or read a book together. Develop a hobby together.

As you see, I am prioritizing the things I am passionate about and that are important to me. Now that I have recharged, I am reenergized and ready to write. I can keep prioritizing my personal interests along with my consultancy work and my work with my Recharge & Reset community.

At the same time, I am resetting by working on systems and processes that would automate some of what I currently do and make space for me to more consistently produce and post these blogs (which are also important to me).
