What I love about having my own blog is that it is such a
window into life. Sometimes you feel
like putting yourself out to the world and sometimes you need to hole up and
hide. Since it has been a month and ½ since
my last post, you can tell that stuff (aka life!) has kept me away. How you do anything is how you do everything. Sometimes I just need a break from
things. It has taken me a seriously long
time to come to the realization that it is perfectly ok to do this. It is ok to slow it down. Take a little time to just feel and observe.
Our expectation in the workplace (and pretty much everywhere!)
is that results are fast. You send a
text, and you expect an answer PDQ. You
write an email, and if you don’t get a response in a day, you can feel
annoyed. You post something on your
Facebook wall and if you don’t have a comment or a like the next time you
check, your mind starts to race wondering why.
Alright, already, I am here to
tell you that it is ok to turn off, check out, stop talking and reflect for a
while. Sometimes, when you create the
space for realizations come to you it brings you much bigger gains and lessons
than all the technology in the world can provide. So here is my suggestion to you: When you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed,
try taking an afternoon, a day, or a week, whatever feels good to you
completely off from all things technology.
Turn off the computer, put the phone away and go out in nature and just
give yourself the gift of slowing down a bit.
You might be surprised at what juicy bits of insight come your way.
With that being said, I am now ready to rock with some more
Google tips and trick coming down the blogging path. Here is a cool one. Did you know that Google has a built in
calculator? Go to a browser and open
Google and type in 40 * 1020 and check out what happens! Next time you need to make a quick or complex
calculation, just Google it!
Wishing you Peace in this season of change and color, Jean
