Licensed to Chill, Health and Wellness recommendations
Perfect day! Dark and gloomy, occasional light rain falling on saturated ground — sure beats those endless balmy days of beach and sunshine when you just HAVE to go out.
I was having a good chuckle at a recent joke I was forwarded on having a "Chill Pill", it goes like this.... "the world would be a nicer place if everyone would take a chill pill – it would get even better if some of them choked on it" lol
Health and Wellness — After doing some recent posts on
Disruptive Overload and how it's become a productivity and more seriously a health and wellness issue. Why have now soooo many people have reached this stage?
We've managed to find a good "work and play" balance — well most of the time, occasional falling off that cart and paying for it royally when I do — more recently I've had casual and in-depth conversations with those who wish to emulate the same balance we enjoy (as much as we can) And wanting to know how to employ it.
Some of our top tips would be:
- Be passionate about a Sport or pastime you love and absolutely HAVE to do.
- "Work" is a "four letter word", FUN is three! — WE love having FUN!
- Forget the guilt trip if you feel you should be working or obliged to stay connected. Yes, there is an "off" button; use it. You'll be amazed on how your mindset changes and how much more productive you'll be totally "refreshed"
- There's "Work" and there's "Work you can Enjoy". I prefer the latter and sometimes we just need to sit down and evaluate just what we want and really need. As most Entrepreneurs will tell you that there is an exorbitant price we pay in time for the passion for our business. The hours can be incredible, but I've found that the brief time away doing the sports I'm passionate about gives me that recharge and that work - play balance ; many times it feels like a whole day off!
- Sometimes you just have to say "no" (in the nicest possible way of course!)
- Connect to nature, a walk on the beach, a hike on a path. You soon forget the everyday hassles. It's the way our mind process stuff; it makes us HAPPY
This is stuff most of us already know and yet most don't employ it. I've always considered "Time" is our most valuable commodity", of course the recent movie "Time" gives it a more interesting perspective
take that first step... You'll be surprised
