HAPPY FRIDAY – Time wasted doing what you truly love is not wasted time

HAPPY FRIDAY – Time wasted doing what you truly love is not wasted time
June 18, 2021 by Shay
Monday Motivation Moment

Time…the most precious resource we have. That’s not a novel concept and we’ve all heard it uttered countless times. Most of us understand the meaning behind the phrase, but some still get caught up in the life-long habit of wasting it. Myself included!

How do we break that habit and truly take the necessary steps to enjoy as many minutes of our life that we can? It’s actually easier than most think and you can start by claiming time one minute at a time. I have been on this personal transformation since I left a super stressful job about 2 years ago.

This is a transformation that will continue as different factors contribute to my time requirements. But, as I transform, I am mindful of the sacrifice each change requires. This will forever be a give and take since we cannot obviously reclaim lost time nor create “new” time.

So this weekend, I challenge you to find a 15-minutes window of time that is devoted to you! Whether that is sitting outside and enjoying your euphoric first cup of coffee while watching the sunrise or sitting in a bath surrounded by candles listing to soft music, these 15 minutes should be about you.

And if you truly enjoyed those 15 minutes, make it 30! I guarantee you won’t regret it.

Well said! Me time is so important! It’s being selfish in a good way. That first cup of joe in the early morning hours, when it seems like the cats and I are the only one awake, is by far my favorite time of day!
