Are you feeling a lack of energy these days? Finding it hard to stay focused?
Our 'human' nature is to keep things steady and consistent but our world today is not cooperating. With the economic woes, the war, the political polarization, the weather and everything in between, our sense of purpose, our drive and our vision is surely affected.
There is a ton of advice out there on what we should do to stay focused and to be positive. I have found that 'being' in the present is the most effective way of staying productive. A quick easy way to do that is when you get up each day, ask yourself how you are going to show up in the world today? Pick an adjective that best describes it. Write it down on a small piece of paper and put it where you can access it frequently during the day. Maybe in your pocket or on your phone or your computer screen. When you see it, assess whether or not you are being what you set out to be.
At the end of the day, reflect back on the day. Did you show up the way you wanted to? If so, celebrate it....and start the next day with another word that describes how you want to be that day. If not, gently remind yourself to do it again tomorrow and keep doing it until you do. We may not have an abundance of energy, but we do have the ability to affect how we are showing up in the world.
