Breathe

It says "Breathe". A reminder to step back and take a breath.

This time of year, everyone and everywhere you look... there are pushes to GO, get it done, make the plan, take the action, lose the weight, start the business, write the book... blah, blah, blah...

It IS good advice and I am guilty of pushing that agenda too.

The key is, to do it with intention and clarity of how it will further your progress. You want to take actions that further your "big picture", your values and your purpose.

So many spend hours, weeks, months and years doing BUSY WORK. There may even be productivity in there. But it is still busy work. You can fill a week with 80 hours of busy work; but does it fulfill your goals?

Does it align with your values?
Does it move the needle in your life? your work? your relationships? your self-care?

I recently read Brene' Brown's "Dare to Lead" book... and she outlines a practice to define your core values. It's only 2-3 and it's powerful. Check it out.

A great practice as a tool to weed out all the busy work.

Breathe. Breathe. Especially with all the world chaos...
Take a Damn Breath!

Onward & Upward.
