It is extremely important to make time to enjoy life. If you are like most people, it has been a busy year. For those of us who have families with children we have finished the school year. It is officially summer break. There seems to be a never-ending hustle and bustle to the next activity or project.
Time Waits for No One to Enjoy Life
You may say but I don’t have the time to enjoy life or how can I enjoy life when there is so much happening that is getting in the way of me enjoying life. Let me tell you that time waits for no one just like my recent post Reaching the Half-Way Mark of the Year. We are now in the second half of the year. If you are not careful to make time to enjoy life, we will be rounding out another year while you say, next year I will do it. Well, there was a saying that tomorrow is not promised. Today is here and so you can and should make the most of it.
The summer is the best time to do just that. There are scheduled vacation times, and the kids are home from school. It also lends itself to a more relaxed time in the household in terms of tight schedules. Now don’t get me wrong there is still things to be done. There is just a little more flexibility.
Enjoying Life
Enjoying life does not need to be something you have to plan out or make special plans for. It is an act of gratitude. Simply put it, is seeing each and every day as a gift and an opportunity to make the most of the twenty-four hours that you have been given. You get to choose what you will and won’t spend your energy on. You also get to choose who you will allow or give access to you. That is something that you have control over.
While you have to work with or come in contact with people you would rather choose to not engage with: Try and make a conscious decision to not give away your power to them. Do whatever task or work that you need to perform with them and then leave them and their negative/exhausting energy behind.
Begin by Practicing
Enjoying your life takes practice. We live with a lot of distractions, and they are not all positive but if you make the effort to do your part in enjoying your life it can happen. It begins with a step and just seeing things through a simple lens.
It means that you are able to enjoy simple everyday moments regardless of what is happening around you. Your happiness is not based on your business, money or education. It can be summed up by simply having a good day or having a conversation with an old friend. That walk around the lake or listening to your favorite song can work wonders.
So, as you make the time to enjoy life, remember life is a journey and how you navigate this journey is up to you. Until next time my readers remember to continue to …...live your dreams out loud
