In the past two weeks I have travelled to Bali and the Sunshine Coast. At both destinations, even though extremely busy, I felt immediately relaxed.
In Bali I was working. On the Sunshine Coast I was helping prepare for the wedding of good friends. Both are not exactly stress-free activities. And yet, both times I felt like I was on holiday.
We spend our lives struggling to make ends meet to fulfil dreams and goals pushed onto us by other (often the previous generation). We work ourselves into the ground and look forward to two, three or four weeks holiday at the end of the year. And even this is stressful. We wonder if we can really afford it. We agonise over where to go. We get frustrated by having to travel. Tell me this isn’t ass about.
Well, I’ve made a decision. I’m going to work towards making every day a holiday. I’m going to find a place where the weather and the environment make this possible. I’m going to find a job or build a business that allows me to have the time to enjoy each and every day.
What are you going to do to change your lifestyle for the better?
If you find what you love to do it will bring you what you need. I think people keep looking for what they think they need in their desire to have the perfect life and they neglect to look at what they actually have.
Every day should be like a holiday. I am going to stop saying ‘I am going to do …….’ and just do, to make my lifestyle better! ‘Going to do’ is in the future. By being in the ‘doing’ mindset, you are living in the now.
I like where your head’s at, Tanya.
