Happy first day of summer! Can you believe it. This year is racing by. The days at times feel long but the months are fast. Does that make sense? I guess getting older makes me appreciate time more. Having less of it. Always waiting for the weekend, which is what 28.5% of my week. So basically racing through 71% of my life for two days.
That was got to stop. 71% WHAT! Or people that live for summer and heat. I just want winter over with. Again that could be three-five months for some people. Which is a good chunk of your life. Think about it. We are willing to write off 50-70% of our lives because of the weather or a work day. I for one don't like those numbers.
What can we do? Well to start with enjoy all seasons. If you find winter long take up a winter activity. That can range from skiing, curling to reading. Work days don't leave all your housework until the weekend and complain you had no free time. Break it up into manageable pieces you can complete during the week. You can take two evenings to clean the bathroom. Toss a load of laundry in. Free up more of your weekend but managing your week better.
Oh yeah what about taking a class one night a week. Setting boundaries over screen time. Creating a bucket list of events/festivals in your area. Supporting local business. Seeing what is offered twelve months a year in your area. The library is a good place to start.
The biggest take-away is stepping back and realizing we are wishing over 70% of our lives away. Seriously. That has to stop. Make the most of each day. If you hate your job that much maybe you need a major overhaul. Make the most of each day and each moment. Create moments during the day whether you are at work or not.
Don't wish life away once it is gone.......just saying.
