Life Is Happening – How Are You Keeping Up?
Life, as my kids would say, is “life-ing!”
The first quarter of the year has flown by. You’ve checked your progress against your Q1 OKRs, wrapped up the earnings call, and now you’re deep into Q2. Perhaps you’re reflecting on your achievements, or maybe you feel you’re not quite where you hoped to be.
Amid the endless cycle of workdays blending into nights and juggling a calendar filled with kids’ birthdays, soccer games, recitals, SAT prep, and lacrosse practices, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Are you tired? Exhausted? Perhaps feeling a bit burnt out? You’re not alone.
Many of my clients experience the same, and honestly, I’ve felt it too. But this year, a significant family milestone offered me a much-needed pause. My youngest son graduated from college this past weekend—yes, we have another Ramblin’ Wreck in the family! It was a vivid reminder that to truly be there for life’s big moments, I need to take care of myself first.
At work, it’s harsh but true: we are all 100% replaceable.
At home, it’s quite the opposite: we are 100% irreplaceable.
Yet, despite this knowledge, we often push ourselves to the brink of exhaustion. Why?
It’s crucial to remember to prioritize what truly matters: your health—mental, physical, and spiritual. You don’t just want to be there for your loved ones; you need to be there. Prioritize your well-being to ensure you can share in those moments that matter most.
Life moves quickly. Prioritize what matters most. Balance self-care with productivity.
Try to pause and reflect amidst the hustle of daily life, to reprioritize self-care as the foundation for being able to cherish in milestone events with those closest to us.
