 We live in a go, go go world which means a lot of our life is the same. Sometimes it feels like we are living and doing in fast forward. That is why it is important that when we see warning signs we listen. Just like a vehicle we need fuel to function; to do what we are created to do. We know at some point we will need to refuel, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It's really important that we don't always run ourselves down past E, but take care of ourselves. When we choose to take care of ourselves we are able to take care of our responsibilities and others. Now, we do have at AAA of sorts around for when we don't listen and take care of ourselves (run out of gas on the side of the road) We all have a sphere of family, friends or business partners that are there to help pull us up. We have them and to many we are that person as well, which is why we can't run on E. When we are in E it doesn't just effect us, but those around us to.  Today remember

 ...before you check in with the world. Our days are jam pack with a lot, so it's important to put in a little prep work before the day is ushered in onto us. It's important that we check in with ourselves, before we check in with the world. That means before emails, facebook notifications, instagram, Yahoo.com, turning on the morning news, etc... Taking 5-10 minutes with ourselves to begin the day can make a HUGE impact on how we get through our day. Gaining perspective, fuel & filling up our internal cup (maybe even with an external cup of coffee to) :)  This brief check in time will make a world of difference not just for you, but for that world you are about to check into and make an impact in.  Have a great one today! ...these check ins are also powerful to do at night as a wind down before bed. 

2 years ago today...        How were you?           Where were you?                     Who were you? We always have 2 choices:      a) Forward into Growth     b) Back towards Comfort Today, take a few moments and reflect on how you have changed in just the last 2 years, personally & professionally. How did you get there, what did you do, who was there for you along the way. Also, look forward towards where & who you want to be so you are better equipped to get there. In order for us to really move forward we sometimes need a pause to reflect, recharge or revise what we are doing to make sure we can rev up & grow where we desire.  Make today amazing for yourself & those around you.
