If your business is closed today,
consider spending
dedicated, focused time
with loved ones today.
These loved ones could be
family members
or friends
or your cat
or any being you care about.
Give those beings
ALL of your attention today.
Listen to their stories
with everything you have.
Put your phone away.
Be completely present.
This will be good
for your loved ones,
good for your relations,
and
good for your soul.
Spend dedicated time
with loved ones today.
Yesterday,
I advised all of us
to take a one minute break
and enjoy the world around us.
I didn’t say this
merely to increase
our happiness levels.
Though that WAS
my main reason
for giving
that advice.
I advised to take a break
because that will help
to keep us healthy
– emotionally and physically.
And very few of us
have the excess time
to be sick right now.
Being sick
is sh*t for business building.
Take a f*cking break.
The holiday season
is a busy time
for almost all business builders.
This might be
our best time for sales.
Partners might be taking
time off
over the holidays.
WE might be taking
some time off.
We have a lot of sh*t to do.
But take a minute.
That’s all that’s needed
– one minute.
And admire a display of holiday lights.
Or savor a bite of holiday baking.
Or watch someone open a gift.
Or hug someone you love.
Give that minute of happiness
to yourself.
And THEN you can
get back to work.
The world has some challenges
right now.
There is at least one
major pandemic happening.
There’s climate change.
There are wars brewing.
This causes stress.
And stress isn’t good
for any of us.
I’m a doer.
Doers…well…
we do.
Taking action
relieves stress
for me.
It doesn’t have
to be big action.
I pick worms off pavement
and put them on the grass
after the rain.
I let my dandelions grow
and feed the bees.
I wear a mask
while in indoor public places.
I stay home
when I’m feeling ill.
I do little things.
But the important part
for me
and for my stress levels
is…
I DO things.
Take action
if you’re stressed
about the state
of the world.
