On vacation I often come up with brilliant ideas and reflect on the things that I can do to live a life so I don’t need to take a vacation from. Easier said than done.
This year I decided to better utilize my evenings. That doesn’t mean that I am going to “do” more in the evenings. I am just not going to get stuck in front of the TV. Maybe I can be in our new hobby room and do scrapbooking.
However, I work in the field of motivation and change so I am very aware that you need to work on your motivation. Motivation is not considered to be a static characteristic or attribute that a person has or doesn’t have. Motivation is seen as something which can be influenced through conversation, affected by their environment (i.e. workplace or gym), and influenced by the people around them (i.e. friends and family).
One way of finding out what motivates someone is to discuss what is important to them, their values. So, why is it important for me to live a life that I don’t need to take a vacay from?
So that I preserve my energy and protect my well-being for the future.
In what way is it important for you to live a life you don’t need to take a vacay from?
Have a good day!
