I will leave you with these thoughts
about time. It is so precious because
we can never get it back.
✓Take a few minutes each day to
calm yourself and be grateful for
everything you have.
✓Keep a running list of what you
are grateful for and when frustrations
come, think about that list.
✓Think about the people you love,
even if they seem to be causing
you stress, and how your life would
not be the same without them.
We recently had the horrible shooting
tragedy in Florida which put
many people into a state of mourning.
The Tony Awards were on that
night and the actors were wearing
silver ribbons in support of the victims
and their families. Actor, Frank
Langella, received his award for Best
Lead Actor in a Play and instead of a
long list of thanking people he said:
done ahead of schedule. If you have a
long commute home, plan to use that
time to your advantage so when you
get home, you are truly home and present
with your loved ones. Keep your
boundaries between work and home as
defined as much as possible.
Determine that after a certain time in
the evening, you will tell yourself that
you will not do anything work-related
and practice it often. This is one way to
give yourself some space to do what it
is important to you and make it easier
for you to rest and be refreshed.
"When something bad happens, we
have three choices: we let it define
us, we let it destroy us, or we let it
strengthen us.” We can choose to
move from negative emotions which will kill our
ambition to positive ones that will propel us forward
to greater achievement. We accomplish
this by being thankful and putting our frustrations
into perspective which is excellent use of
time and energy.
Managing your time and emotions brings more
freedom to do what is most important to you.
Live each day with zest, make time for yourself,
and go do great things!
