We are each the Hub of Our Life

It’s essential to take time for YOU.

There is an acronym for when you’re most inclined to engage in bad habits.

Take Time to be Alone

Take time to be alone more often than you think you need to.

One of the prime triggers in engaging in a bad habit is looking for a way to give to yourself, especially if you’ve been very busy and overwhelmed.  When we don’t take time for ourselves, we end up “rewarding” ourselves with our habits. It’s a way of taking care of ourselves in the moment, but it doesn’t feel so great when we’re done.

If you want to improve the chances you’ll stay on program and you won’t suffer from a “guilt dessert,” take a few minutes to be alone every day; long enough to decompress.

It doesn’t have to be very long, just long enough to get yourself centered.

By the way, “alone” is not “lonely” – unless you choose to make it so.

Take Time to be in Awe

March 21, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Look at the world with awe as often as possible.

Sometimes it’s difficult – especially during stressful times – to stay inspired and to take joy in the day-to-day happenings of life. Between a job, family, responsibilities, and the general state of the world, life can feel overwhelming. At times like these, it is especially important to stop for a minute, take a deep breath, and look for the beauty that surrounds you. It might not feel much, but it’s there – and you are a part of it. Then, before you do anything else, spread that feeling by complimenting the next person you see.

Note: Every Monday, a new motivational memo is posted. Subscribers to ThisTimeIMeanIt.com’s coaching service get this – and many more benefits – sent to them directly. If you’d like to know more, follow this link.
