Slow Down

As the end of year arrives, give yourself permission to slow down.

Life moves fast. Every day, go, go, go! Hustling from meeting to meeting, rushing to the store, scurrying around from here to there and back again, dropping kids off at school, picking them up again, going to kid's events. We're all so busy doing things.

Ever notice how quickly everyone wants to get somewhere or do something?

What happens when you slow down?

For me, I notice the craziness around me (and sometimes my part in it). I appreciate leaves still on some trees. I notice someone's smile. I listen to the sounds. I observe the good that exists.

What might you notice? What might you appreciate in a different way?

Give yourself permission to slow down so that you can:

👉 enjoy the holiday season with family and friends

👉 assess the last 50-ish weeks

👉 just "be" for a minute (or two)

You probably don't want to find yourself "Running on Empty" like Jackson Browne.

So slow down and do something to refill your cup and recharge.

💡

Here are a few ideas:

👉 take time off from work

👉 shut down the computer 30-60 minutes earlier than normal

👉 take a walk or maybe an extra walk

👉 watch TV or go to a movie

👉 read a book

👉 take a long, intentional breath

Please share what you are doing to slow down this time of year!

Create your life.
