Cut Back on These 3 Things
in 2017 To Become More Engaged in Your Own Life and Well Being
Life might have been
trying to give you growth and success all these years and you've been too
displaced and distracted to even notice it. Cut back on these three things to
be more present and engaged in your own life.
It's the time of year
again to set goals and
decide what you will accomplish in the coming year.
Instead, in 2017 you can
free up space to be present and engaged with your own life. You can see what's already being offered to you
that you are missing out on. Allow room for accomplishments to happen to you,
rather than struggling to make them happen.
There's an abundance of
opportunity around you every day and you might simply be missing it because of
these three things.
Coffee
Being over stimulated on
coffee can cause you to be jittery and constantly crave new stimulation.
You might be able to
multi-task like a robot on caffeine, though, studies show that multi tasking is
actually ineffective.
Focusing on one task and
being present with the task will allow you to be far more effective than simply
getting a multitude of things done in a short period of time.
When you have your mind,
heart and body focused on each moment in your day, you will be more present and
engaged fully.
Whether at work or in your
personal life, you will be able to see clearly the depth of each moment and
receive potential opportunities that you were missing out before as a busy bee.
Social Media
Another form of over
stimulation and distraction is social media.
Social media takes you
away from yourself. It's a quick distraction that usually fills your mind with
an overflow of content that you are unable to fully process in the short amount
of time you are spending on any given platform.
What if instead of
engaging with social media every few minutes throughout the day, you spent 20 -
30 min on it once a day and gave it your full attention and then moved on?
Staying present with your
work flow, family and friends makes all the difference in your well being,
quality of life and level of calm in your mind.
Try cutting back on your
engagement throughout the day and see how much space opens up.
Alcohol
More and more people are
turning outside of themselves for a distraction, a way to numb out or feel less
stress.
Going to the root of your
stress instead of finding a band-aid solution like alcohol can be far more
effective.
Cutting back on drinking
and social drinking, will allow your body to be hydrated, focused and present
without getting cloudy or numb.
You want to be in your
life more.
Cutting back on
distractions might be the key to your growth and success in 2017.
Life might
have been trying to give you something all these years and you were too
displaced to even notice it.
