Take A Time-Out

How can we stay focused on what’s most important to us in a world that’s so full of cheap and easy distraction?

We have to take TIME-OUTS . . . and the drastic measure of OPTING OUT.

In a society that admonishes us to “Go! Go! Go!” and to stay “on top of” current events and “up to speed” in our fields, a lot of what I’m suggesting may seem counter-intuitive or feel uncomfortable to start.

But if you stick with it, you’ll free up massive amounts of energy, and create a much more sustainable life while you’re at it.

Here’s a simple method I love, one that gets me through my most challenging days:

Drop everything you’re doing. Take a time-out. Whatever you need—a moment, an hour, a day—just be with yourself. Yep, that’s right: do absolutely nothing.

I know how hard it is to do nothing. But it’s also the first step out of the vortex of distraction and a never enough mentality.

You’ll hear about some other ways to take time-outs later, so for now let’s move on to my next secret: opting out.
