Be honest, over the last week, how many times have you found yourself still at work when you were supposed to be playing with the kids?
Did you and your wife/husband actually spend any time together just laughing or making plans for the future? Not solving problems. Not complaining about the day but actually enjoying each other?
For most of us that answer is unfortunately no.
The world we live in constantly tells you to stay plugged in. To work harder, to hustle. And it celebrates those who are always grinding; always putting out new content every day but let’s get real. That’s not what makes the difference otherwise, everyone would be thriving.
But most of us are struggling, overwhelmed or missing the times that we really want to be a part of. And the bad news is that constant stress literally causes your brain to perform poorly and be less capable of thinking creatively or strategically. You become your won worst enemy!
So what’s the solution….?
It’s presence.
It’s intention.
Understanding how to recognize your blind spots and developing a lifestyle that reinforces good habits like balance and flexibility.
Now before you start beating yourself up, I suggest seeing this as an opportunity to enhance your performance and feel better.
The challenge I face is identifying the line between passion and obsession. What’s yours?
