RE: Thoughts over coffee: Part Eleven - A better you

in Reflections16 days ago

There is a thin line between lazyness and relaxation. I'm having quite a lazy Sunday at the moment, but it does involve a morning walk, visiting family and some reading in the evening.

  1. Never waste time when travelling to and from work - listen to podcasts or audio books that help you build your skills.

I don't agree with you on this one. Although I often do listen to podcasts or webinars when cycling to work or back home, I also often choose to not listen to anything at all. Expecially when I had a busy day. Sometimes your brain just has an overflow of information and then it's good to give it some rest. Earlier this week I posted a blog about being more mindful, which exactly is about this topic.

The 'celebrate your wins' and 'win book' look interesting. Are they big hairy and audaciois? Or are they smaller, so you can have more successes to celebrate? Are these work-related or also personal goals? Maybe you have any recent wins you could share with us?

Sort:  

I don't like to share much of my real life here so will not share any of my "recent wins" other than to say that I'm on a work trip currently and have been struggling through being away from my girlfriend, really feeling the fact I'm away yet again and not with her. The win? I'm flying home in a day and we ate dinner together tonight (by video chat) to mitigate the fact I'm feeling detached.

Haha. That makes two of us.
But thanks for sharing a bit, so I can get the idea. I wondered if it were wins like climbing the mount everest or something. But I think it is good to celebrate 'smaller' wins as well.
