Lesson Two
Today we are talking about making purposeful choices, and looking at the mindset many of us have struggled with I am too busy.
I’m sure you’ve seen the evidence of society’s push towards busy all around you. Couples spending more time on their phones than with each other, fragmented attention being given at work and at home, and a constant overload of activities, distractions and stimuli. A huge cause of this is BUSY. And the phrase that comes along with this I am too busy.
As a culture we have accepted the belief that we are more effective when we do more things. However, the opposite is true. We are most effective when we focus on one thing at a time. This allows us to be present in every moment.
Once we have taken personal responsibility for our time, then we need to step into our power of choice and take control of our future by making our own decisions. I need to make choices that will benefit my life and my family in the future.
Today’s mindset shift: rather than saying I am too busy, we want to change it to I am in control.
Rather than wearing busy as a badge of honour, realize the dis-service we are doing our family, our health, our co-workers, clients and all areas of our life.
When I first made this shift, I wish I could tell you the change happened overnight. It was a slow process. But one I am very glad I walk through.
Here’s a question to think about: What area of my life have I given away control, and want to take it back?
The mindset of I am in control allows us to take control of what we are doing. It gives us permission to make choices for the benefit of our health, our relationships and our families. It empowers us to create boundaries and start adjusting our life.
Step into your power of choice and really own it. You know deep down inside the choices you need to make to benefit yourself and those closest to you.
Let’s make this mindset shift today: From I am too busy to... I am in control.
