Don't Leave Relaxing For The Weekend

Welcome to Friday Eve.

Have you noticed that we who live in the good old USA pay a lot of attention to the days of the week?  Mondays are ho-hum, Wednesday is humpday, Friday is the day we all wait for.  The day that allows us to take a break from our norm for two days and then return to another ho-hum Monday when it ends.

Perhaps we need to find little breaks in our every day routines, so we are not waiting for that one magical day of the week to score a break. Usually we are let down, as the weekend never feels long enough to get the rest we feel we need.  Why?  Because we don't encounter those little breaks through the week.  We need them.  Lunch with a friend or coworker, a walk at the beach after work, a late night ferry ride to catch the stars on a Monday... anything to break up the routine and breathe a little deeper and think a little lighter.  If we can find an hour a day to do this, even when we have a busy work week, we will find we stress less, tire less, and are ready to really enjoy our weekends and make the most of them - not sleep them all away because we are on overload.

I hope you find some peace and enjoyment this week.  Don't leave it for the weekend - that's a lot to ask of two days ... start it TOday.

Be blessed!

Today's Focus: Give Yourself a Break!

Today's Focus:  Give Yourself a Break!

Sometimes we can feel we have not made it far, when if we actually looked thru someone's eyes besides our own, we would see we have come far and accomplished much.  We are harder on ourselves many times than others would be, because we expect a lot of ourselves.  This is a good trait, to a point.  Past that point it becomes a stumbling block and not a help.  One must balance the demands and expectations we place on ourselves, with our abilities and the number of hours there are in a day.  We cannot do it all in one day and should not expect that of ourselves.  ... So, cut yourself some slack once in awhile and take some time to enjoy life as you work hard to reach your goals in life.

Today's Focus : Stay the Course

Good Tuesday Morning to you.

Stay the course is my motto for today.

Sometimes it seems there are so many things I want to do and accomplish in a day that if I allow myself, I can wander into a frazzle and not accomplish anything I set out to do initially.  My goal is to pinpoint the important steps for my day and then walk that path and let nothing sidetrack me.  If I complete my list for the day, then I can have a treat of being sidetracked for a while as a reward - but until then - FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS.

I think for me the main thing I always have to do, to remain on course through the day, is make a bullet list.  No, not a bucket list (smile) ... a bullet list.  These are the critical things that need done for the day.  They can be personal, family or business related but things that I need to know at 5 PM they are done. (or whatever time I have chosen to end the day).  These may be things like phone calls I need to make, appointments I need to make, followup emails I need to write, things I need to mail and places I need to go.  There may also be updates to articles or postings to Facebook or Twitter, a review that needs to post today, etc.  Anything that needs to be done - TOday.  Then I can do my check offs and get them all done, without losing focus and ending up having a bunch of undone tasks because I allowed myself to get focused on something that did not need my attention today and should have waited until tomorrow.
