We get busy! It can be hectic, crazy, and downright overwhelming. BUT, you must choose to value your intentional margins. See what I mean in this episode of Everyday Happiness. 

 

Transcript:

 

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I got a text from a friend the other day.  She was having trouble getting anything done.  She was feeling super reactive and has a list that was not touched.  She couldn’t see her way into being proactive because she was putting out fires.  Whether they were urgent or not, they were what she was focused on.  Have you ever felt that way?  I feel like I felt that way just last week.  It happens.  

 

But she said something that made me stop in my tracks, she texted me “I am so busy, I don’t have time to create any intentional margins for myself”.  Oh wow.  It was like a dagger to my heart.  I knew she needed margin more than ever, she was spiraling.  

 

I wrote back “if you are so busy you can’t afford to take a few minutes for yourself, well then, you can’t afford not to”.

 

This is the truth friends, the days will pass, the years will pass, it will never be less busy next week.  You will look back regretting the time where you were not intentional and present with the thing that mattered most right then.  

 

This is some loving straight talk, how are you spending your time matters.  Usually, where you spend your time is where your priorities are.  Check yourself.  How are you spending your time?

 

The reality is, we all need to check in with ourselves.  You’re doing it mama, I’m cheering for you, I am rooting for your success and most of all, I am hoping that you are designing a fulfilling life that is perfect, just for you. Without the guilt.  No one has time for that.    You’ve got this. 

 

And remember, Kindness is Contagious. Spend a little time being kind to yourself today.
