Live a Little. No, Live A Lot!

by Chataun Denis on 04/27/10

About a month ago I had gotten to the place where I was working long hours, just busy, busy, busy! Being a very intuitive person, I listen to my body when it tells me it's time to take a break. I've learned over the years that my world won't fall apart if I don't accomplish every task today, right now.

I do myself and my family a disservice when I rush through life never present, but consumed with thoughts of the future. Being present requires focus. In the present there is peace, rest, beauty, joy, and health. It's my choice whether or not I receive these gifts. As entrepreneurs, yes we wear numerous hats and have lots to accomplish in a single day. However, we don't have to sacrifice peace of mind or our relationships with our children, spouses, and ourselves in the process! Work towards your future but don't neglect living for today. Take time each day to just be present and witness how much more efficient and loving you become.

I really like what you said and I also needed to hear that. I have been doing the same thing working around the clock and realise I need to follow your advise and take a break for me or I will be no good for anyone.

Sometimes we have to force ourselves to do it. It really takes conscious effort.
