Unplug, reset, recharge and move in the direction you want your life to go

February 9th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

Just read a great blog post (Less really can mean more by Dr. Molli Marti) about how she “unplugged” during the holidays, spent time with friends and family without thinking about work and the round it all up by working on her 2010 vision board.

Haven’t you also been in a situation where it seemed that the day-to-day chores and busy schedule you kept actually prevented you from moving forward in life?

And the more you worked the more you stood still?

If we don’t allow ourselves to take time out to steer our life in the direction we want, then we’ll end up in the wrong place – we’ll end up with the wrong spouse, the wrong house in the wrong location and the wrong job.

We only have one life to live, so why is it that so many of us don’t spend the necessary time on actually figuring out what we would like to get out of this life?

Some people seek assistance from a life coach and from other self improvement resources, but sometimes all we need is just a little uninterrupted time to ourselves.

We each have our own definition of success and sometimes it doesn’t take a large and complicated goal setting/getting system to make life changes; sometimes it’s enough to just decide what you wan’t to change.

But it all starts with you deciding to do it.

Relax – chill out – I know you need it

January 14th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

A possibly stressful Christmas has passed, a new year has started and one of your New Year’s resolution was probably to spend some more ME-time.

You know, just focusing on yourself, your health, your needs, your desires.

Figure out what you *want* to do and put what you *need* to do aside.

Take some time out to decide what you want to do for yourself this year.

Maybe you need a good massage. If you can’t get your spouse to do it, then go schedule a few sessions with a local massage therapist.

Maybe you want to take Yoga classes. Gather a few of your best girlfriends and maybe go have a cup of coffee after class.

Maybe a trip to the Sauna after a good swim is more your thing.

Or maybe you could benefit from replacing some of your coffee with herbal tea.

Make a decision about replacing foods that are not good for your health with some that are.

Could be that you just need to set aside 15 minutes each day that are yours alone.

Or how about planning a good relaxing vacation somewhere?

Go see a musical or a theater play.

Take up some forgotten hobbies of yours.

Set aside time this week to think about what you could do to make your life more fulfilling.

Call an old friend and ask him over for dinner so you can become all nostalgic and talk about “the good old days”.

Whatever you do just make sure that you make 2010 the best year ever – for you.
