ARE YOU THRIVING OR JUST SURVIVING?
What does it mean to thrive?
To thrive means to grow, to flourish, and to succeed in life.
The responsibilities that go with adulthood often result in life becoming filled with habits, routines, and commitments.
We concentrate on getting through the week, feeling like our lives are flashing before our eyes, that we are merely surviving.
When this happens, we risk forgetting our hopes and dreams and telling ourselves a story that if our aspirations have not yet been achieved, then it's too late!
It’s Never Too Late to Thrive
I firmly believe that at any point in life we can focus our attention on the things that we want. Instead of asking if this is possible, our mission is created when we become focused on how to make this our reality.
This topic stimulates my curiosity. It leaves me wondering how well we are currently thriving in our lives right now.
I encourage us to ask ourselves:
What would today look like if I was living my perfect average day?
Today, let's press pause briefly and focus the lens on the topic of making time to thrive.
How to Make Time to Thrive
Here are some top tips to whet your appetite:
1. Get Curious About What Thriving Looks Like for You
Get curious about the signs that will tell you that you are thriving in your life. What are you thinking, how are you feeling, what are you doing?
Tip: How you are thinking and feeling is the goal. What you are doing is how you are going to achieve that.
2. Focus Your Mindset on Your Mission to Thrive
Get clear on the most helpful thing that you can tell yourself to keep you focused on your mission to thrive.
Tip: Be aware of that story that you might tell yourself about why this isn't possible — acknowledge it, know that your inner critic has just popped up to say hello, and then do it anyway.
3. Surround Yourself With Support
Make a list of the people who are 'on your team' — those inspiring you to do your best and to stay on track. Get clear on what they specifically do that helps you.
Tip: Surround yourself with people who believe in you and know that you deserve to thrive and excel.
