Taking Care Of Yourself

Taking Care Of Yourself

I read an article recently that hit me right between the eyes and I wanted to discuss a snippet of it as it applies to our daily lives.

Now, how true is that? The example that comes to mind is when the flight attendants on an airplane tell you to put your oxygen mask on first so you can help others with theirs. They don’t say, put everyone else’s on first and then pass out!

 

It is amazing to me the acts of kindness you need to pay yourself every single day. Maybe that act of kindness is taking 15 minutes to read. Maybe it is spending 15 minutes with a friend or taking 15 minutes to sit quietly and eat a bowl of ice cream. What do you need it to be?

Sometimes it is hard to slow down and really think about what is important to you and what you want to accomplish. If you are wound too tight, it is because you are not loosening the belt on your stress. Stress means change is trying to take place and you won’t let it or it means change something.

Show Up Words

Show Up Words

So many times, we start out the new year with one BIG goal.

One of the things that we can have a goal in is how we are going to carry ourselves throughout the year.

To guide us to this goal, it is important to create what we call, “Show Up Words”.

 

  • What are your show up words for this year?
  • How are YOU going to show up?
  • What are the things you are trying to protect?

 

One of our show up words for this year is “Peace”. Creating more peace, more quiet, more commitment to bringing it down a notch.

Your show up words can be things such as Kindness, Purposeful, Discipline, Teamwork, etc.

 

This really ties in to the reputation we want to have with our teammates, our leadership, and our guests. It guides us. It’s a word that we can have framed that says, “This is how we are going to show up this year.”

For more on this, be sure to dive into the book you should have received from us, “One Word” by Jon Gordon. It will give you tremendous background on this topic and help you turn the page on a fresh new year.
