Have you ever felt like every day, you are like that little hamster on the wheel? You’re moving and moving and moving but the wheel just keeps spinning round and round! Well, that’s a perfect time to STOP.
I’m always a person on the move. Always thinking. Always dreaming. Always taking action. But, I’m finally learning that there’s a little magic that happens when you stop.
When I say ‘STOP’, I’m not talking about quitting your dreams or being complacent. I’m talking about actually taking time out to THINK and to REFLECT. I have a drawer full of journals with notes about my life going back to my high school years. Those moments when I take time to reflect have been so essential to my growth and well being. There is something so therapeutic and magical that happens when we stop.
#1- If you take no time to reflect, you’ll spend everyday just reacting to life rather than INTENTIONALLY making decisions that will cause your life to change.
#2- When you take time to stop, you can actually take time to enjoy your family and the ones you love the most.
#3- When you stop, you can actually ask yourself the tough questions like, “Am I truly living life to the fullest?”, “Am I fulfilled?”, “Am I going in the right direction?”
Take a little time everyday to do a little reflection. Buy a journal. Start writing down your goals, your dreams or just your feelings. Life goes so fast and the days just go by. Put YOURSELF on your calendar and take a little time out. Take time out to self-direct and decide what you really want to accomplish each day. Take time to STOP and you’ll see a magical difference every day!
