Life!

There is always going to be something more important that the things you enjoy in life. While it’s great to prioritize, people often forget to give themselves a priority over others.

Hello hello!

There is always going to be something more important that the things you enjoy in life. While it’s great to prioritize, people often forget to give themselves a priority over others. And that’s exactly where the problem begins. This one decision to “prioritize” work over “self” is just the start of the havoc that soon begins.

It’s been almost 7 years since I started working and at least for the first 5 I cared little about myself. It was always “hustling’ to “make it”. Even when COVID hit I barely stopped and continued to work to get to “my goal”. But when things started to slow down later in 2020 and early 2021, that’s when I realized how much damage had been caused. Did I have the means or resources to take a break in its literal sense? NO, well there were a lot of challenges to constantly deal with. Could I have dealt with that need to hustle better? Yes!

While I will stop with the story and let you enjoy this piece, I will implore you to just stay in touch with yourself and adapt action plans to how your feeling instead of just “pushing though”. I hope you like this one by Bryan Schuetz.

Life to many is a constant struggle. Deadlines to meet, hustle and bustle.

Look up! Look down! Turn Left! Turn Right!

Moving so fast, no end in sight.

One day…I will. But not this day.

Too much to do. What can I say?

This is the only day that life promises you. Slow down and enjoy…do what you want to do.

Even for just a little while.

Each day do something to make you smile.
