Summer is in full swing, extra time to kick back and relax. When I have a lot of time to relax my mind wanders on the important things in my life.
Most people review the past year as the New Year is upon them. I find myself taking stock at the beach or the pool, when I have countless hours to relax. It is the calm of the ocean or waterfalls that allows my thoughts to wander. I find reflecting on basic things is important, every so often.
- How is my job? Is it what I want, am I giving it my all? If not, why? What do I need to change?
- How is my marriage? Am I investing my energy, showing compassion, being fair?
- What about my kids? Are they behaving the way I expect? If not, what do I need to change to be present and parent differently?
If you are like me, relaxing and doing nothing only happens when it is vacation season. So, naturally, vacation season for me is time off every so many months.
If I am honest with myself most of what is not going my way is because I am not putting the right energy into it. It is not always easy to admit this, but I have the ability to modify and adjust anything in my life. It is all about being honest, reflecting, and making the proper adjustments.
How are you doing? Are you taking the time to reflect and adjust?
