One thing I’ve struggled with much of my life is long-term goal setting. I knew that long-term goals would help structure my life but I would often get tripped up with problems I hit along the way.
Lately I’ve been experimenting with a technique that’s much more visual, and it’s been working beautifully.
Modern life is busy. Insanely busy.
However, much of the craziness is self-imposed. Or at we least passively allow it to continue.
You do have the power to reign it in you know…
Turn off the TV. Don’t check Facebook. Turn off email notifications. Check emails and texts every few hours instead of constantly. Delay responding to people. Cut back on the junk surfing. Quit reacting.
Quit consuming for a one damn minute.
What’s that sound? It’s the sound of silence. Foreign isn’t it?
It’s even a little disconcerting.
Does the thought of being out of the loop make you nervous? Good. That means you’re addicted to the madness. And addicts aren’t in control of their lives, they just live for the next hit.
Don’t give outside forces the reigns then complain about how things turn out.
Step up to the plate and take back your life.
