When was the last time you let yourself really savor the feeling of growth? I mean that feeling of looking back on your life and thinking “Damn. I am a f*cking rockstar for growing and evolving like this.” Have you ever let yourself actually LUXURIATE in that delicious feeling of pride, love, and knowledge.
I bring this up because I’ve only recently discovered how awesome it is.
And guess what?
It’s not only awesome.
It's f*cking NECESSARY.
Because your brain is like any other muscle – what you practice gets stronger.
When you’re a high achiever, the reps you’re putting in sound like “Next goal. Next goal. Next goal.”
There’s no time for slowing down and no space for joy.
THAT, my friend, is a recipe for burnout.
So what if you spent 10 minutes this week reflecting and writing down your evolution as a human – a leader, a friend, a partner, a community member?
Because I promise you…You are more effective, when you make time to be reflective.
So let it be pleasurable!! Let it be fun, funny, nostalgic and full of delicious love and compassion for your amazing self.
Really FEEL it in your body, so that your brain can integrate it into your nervous system.
Because when you bring that energy to work? Well, that’s just pure f*ing magic.
