Renewal
The definition of renewal is:
1. To make new or as if new again; restore.
2. To regain vigor; revive.
3. To replenish; to bring into being again.
Wow! Anyone out there that could use a little Renewal every once in awhile? Absolutely! And I know for myself that if I don’t make a conscious decision to Renew, I will find myself so “busy” with life that my health, relationships, and possibilities of success suffer.
As I travel the country speaking, training, and consulting/coaching, it is a common question of how do I maintain my level of ENERGY and PASSION for life? There are many aspects to the answer of that question, but it comes down to one simple focus and question.
What do you LOVE to do? Meaning….what gets your juices flowing, mind thinking, and heart pumping? For me it’s my watching and being with my kids and wife, reading, growing and learning new things, being able to teach others how to live a successful and happy life, to watching sports – especially football! I KNOW THESE ITEMS RENEW ME. So I choose to make sure that my life has them in it.
I see way too many people “busy” with life – personally and professionally, but they are NOT DOING THINGS that refuel and renew them. Why? Many people haven’t taken the time to figure out what those things are….some people just don’t make the time…..some people take on other people’s priorities versus their own and find themselves exhausted all of the time. Trust me my friends, the people that really love you want you to be just as happy and successful that you may be helping them to be. So take the time for yourself to renew/re-energize/refuel – in whatever way, shape or form that takes. You must do it though…..research continues to show if we don’t take care of ourselves – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – we won’t be around long enough to really truly appreciate all of the wonderful opportunities this world offers us.
Action step: Figure out what “Fuels” you. And then schedule and do it on a regular basis WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY! It is part of you being able to show up in the world at your very best. Even the best race cars in the world can’t win a race without having the fuel to do so.
In service to your success,
