Rush, Rush, Fast, Fast, Go, Go Our lives are so busy today. Goals, jobs, constantly connecting to people, we have apps that tell us when friends are close so we can catch up for coffee. Twenty four hour news, mobile devices beeping with constant updates of what happening. From friends messaging, to the latest bonus on the game we’re playing. It’s all very fast paced and dynamic. With so many things on the go it’s no surprise that we can, at times, feel overwhelmed and under pressure. We have a non stop lifestyle. Especially when we strap our phones, iPads and the like to our hip. And why not. In today’s world being connected is required. But then being connected was always needed for success. It’s just the medium we use now can be so much more demanding than in the past. What hasn’t changed is you still need YOU time. Time when you aren’t subject to the demands of the outside world. Time where you can just stop, recharge and take stock. We need this time to remind us of who we are and what is important to us. With so much media bombarding us we can easily loose focus of who we are. There is an upside. In today’s world we don’t need a lot of time for ourselves. We’re used to doing things in a fast paced manner. So just 15 minutes can see you boost your energy and head out to face the world again. When you start to feel that drain, that you are being pulled in all directions is a hint that you need time for you. There are many ways you can take time for you. Leave your phone in another room and sit on couch with your eyes closed for 15 minutes. Turn off your phone and do some exercise. Put your phone on silent and read a book for half an hour. Notice the common theme here. You need time for you. Where you are not going to get pulled away. Set a start time and and end time and resolve not to be disturbed. It’s your time and it is very important. Just as important as being connected to the rest of the world. We all need balance in our lives. It doesn’t take long to take time for yourself. Taking time for you is recognising that you are important too. It’s reaffirming your place in the world. Without it achieving what you want can become hard. Make success easy. Remember to take some time everyday just for you.
