I pressed pause on Saturday...here is why..?

HAPPY SUNDAY!!

Let's talk about something that's often overlooked…

But oh-so-important…

Balance.

We're all hustling and grinding toward our goals, chasing that dream like a G.

But here's the thing – sometimes, it's okay to hit the pause button and give ourselves permission to take a breather.

But Rob, then i am lazy and not driven…. nahh mate you are more committed than ever.

How do you expect to create magic, if you are unbalanced, tired and your body is saying “hey man, just chill”

I gave myself permission to do this yesterday

(I usually write this on Saturday)

But I woke up, did my squats and pushups, and i asked god in the shower.

Plant my feet where you want them planted, plant my mind where you want it planted.

And I got out, went upstairs and had this overwhelming urge… to just rest.

So that is exactly what I did. I Played Borderlands 2 with Sarah (love of my life)

And sat in the sun in the afternoon, then helped Tim build the new cat station.

(and by help I mean hindered)

But I took a rest because I knew I needed it.

I knew I wouldn’t be able to produce the quality I wanted.

So I simply took the day to rebalance.

I have used this quote before but imma use it again.

Because once you truly accept this… your life changes.

From job interviews, friends, clients, and partners.

To the little things like losing a board game.

💡 3 Questions to Spark Creativity:

1. What does my ideal kitchen/ room/ garden look like, and how can I start creating it?

• My kitchen is a light to dark green, with dark oak wood tops, an island with the cutest seats, and a wall with all of my family on so i can look at them every morning. With the glorious scent of fresh linen.

2. What new habits and rituals can I put in place to support my mental health and well-being?

This could be as little as doing…

• Situps before your morning shower.

• Have a glass of water before that blessed morning coffee.

• Take 5 minutes to meditate, be present, and focus on everything you have.

3. How can I reframe my mindset around relaxation to see it is an essential part of the journey to success?

Success isn’t just monetary, and external things… When you have achieved ‘X’ you will be worth ‘Y’

It is happiness, self-love, self-worth, and relationships with your loved ones.

Not missing that football match, because you had a project to finish, or pick up an extra shift.

What is the point in building an empire if you have no one to share it with?

In my eyes, there isn’t. But that is just me.

🧠 1 MIND BLOWING fact on balance:

Did you know that according to a study conducted by the World Health Organization…

Chronic stress has become a global epidemic.

Affecting an estimated 450 million people worldwide!!

This staggering statistic highlights the urgent need for prioritizing balance and self-care in our lives.

Taking regular breaks, practicing mindfulness, and nurturing our mental and emotional well-being are not just luxuries.

They're essential for combating the negative effects of stress and promoting overall health and happiness.

So the next time you feel tempted to push yourself to the limit, or your boss says can you just do this and that…

Adding to your unrealistic work load.
