Connect with the things that are most important…

One of the things I love about taking a break from the everyday is connecting with the things that are most important…

When you are away from your usual environment, you are also away from your usual routines and habits…

Good and bad…

For me I focus on what drops away, and what I can add in…

Maybe there is no phone or internet reception and then you love the lack of distractions of social media…

Maybe there is a lack of TV or streaming services so you have a clearer mind…

Maybe there is less opportunity to drive to the shops, or other reactive non important tasks…

Maybe it is the lack of boundaries in everyday life which is easier to put in place because you are physically not in the same location…

Then on the flip side…

What do you find yourself doing more of when on holidays…

When time is yours…

For me, I am an active holiday person, maybe not everyones cup of tea but full of sports…

Usually skill acquisition sports…

Surfing, foil surfing, tow foil surfing, kite surfing, free diving and that was just yesterday 🙂

So, the reflection is…

Can we take a moment from our hamster wheel and see it for what it is…

How can we change up our everyday life to create space for the things that really are parts of our true authentic selves.

How would life be different if things like work were optional… or you what you were paid for matched what you would do in your spare time?

These gifts are things being handed to you when on holidays…

The gifts of a lifetime…

However, only the brave will do something about them…

Yes, brave…

For some you may already be in this place!

Then for others, myself included, I want to ask myself…

What is it costing me to keep doing things that I am doing?

What brave shifts can I make…

What do I need to let go of?

What do I need to bring in?

What dreams do I need to reconnect with?

WHO do I need to become for these things to be a part of my everyday life?

Maybe a few of these questions might help everyone when we are feeling a little stuck..

Or that feeling that there is something which is true to our REAL self that need to come in…

Anyway…

Life lessons are either entertainment or the place from which true action is taken…

Enjoy your day!
