But I have no TIME ?

Today, I want to encourage you to STOP. To take a step back and to gain a new appreciation for all you have ??.

And I have something special to share with you. Particularly if you struggle at times to step back ??

Firstly a question; When was the last time someone asked you, how you are doing, and you replied "I am so busy"? I am going to hazard a guess, and say that you have probably said this recently. Nearly everyone I meet is in a rush. And to be honest, I can fall into this trap at times too ??.

We convince ourselves that we have no CHOICE. That this is just what life is like when you are balancing a busy business and home life. I want to invite you today, to reframe how you view TIME. The opportunity we all have, is to spend MORE time focusing on what REALLY MATTERS ??.

Gift to share - Yesterday I hosted a bespoke masterclass "how to achieve peak performance and happiness". Over the next few days, we are creating a short highlights video. If you didn't attend live, and want some expert insight to help you to spend more time focusing on what really matters, DM me "highlights" or add a comment to this post, and we will share this with you?

One challenge we face, is because we convince ourselves that we are too busy, we rarely take a step back, and this becomes a vicious cycle. All that happens is we repeat the same patterns, and if we are not careful this can lead to feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and burnout ??.

You will be very familiar with the quote from Henry Ford; “If You Always Do What You've Always Done, You'll Always Get What You've Always Got.”

Step 1 - You need to force yourself to take a step back ??. If this feels hard, then I am going to suggest this it is even more imperative that you do this ??.

Just think about it for a minute. If you were watching an athlete on TV with their head down, working harder and harder and harder, with no recovery time, then you will be able to predict what will happen. They will not perform at their peak.

The most effective athletes always look like they have more TIME. They can see the bigger picture. They don't lose sight of where they are going & make good decisions under pressure. I want to encourage you to start THINKING and ACTING like this too.

We convince ourselves that everything on our To Do list is urgent. The reality is most things can wait.

Masterclass (Highlights video) - The masterclass yesterday was a great opportunity to explore how you could live your life with greater PURPOSE. Over the next few days, we will be creating a short video with the key highlights. If you would like a copy, send me a message and I will share this with you personally?

Often we wait until we have no choice to change our ways. This can often come in the form of life changing news like a bereavement.

Special Guest - During this masterclass, my special guest (Guy Skinner), shared how losing his father at just 10 years old, completely changed his perspective about life. Guy shared how he had to grow up overnight and become the man of the family at such a young age??.

Rather than wait, for a major life event, make a commitment to take more TIME out now. It is only when we step back that we see the bigger picture, and we are able to focus on what really matters ??.

Start Today

Ps: Despite having a long list of things to do, I have decided to take the afternoon off to spend time with my youngest child Joshua who turns 3 today. Work can wait and it is now family TIME ??
