Day 629 – Don’t Just Do Something – Sit There! – Mindshift Monday

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 629 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Don&#8217;t Just Do Something &#8211; Sit There! – Mindshift Monday Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 629 of our trek, and it is time for our Mindshift Monday series. Wisdom-Trek’s primary focus is to assist you in creating your living legacy. Creating your living legacy can only be accomplished by gaining wisdom in many areas of life. You can only gain wisdom by changing your negative habits into positive habits. Changing habits is a result of changing the way you think. In other words, to create your living legacy, you must choose to be in a continual mode of Mindshift, or “changing the way you think.” It is easy to get stuck in a mindset that your current circumstances cannot be changed. This is not true, but you must understand this fundamental principle, “In order to change your life, you must change how you think and what you think about.” Our Mindshift Monday podcast and journal will provide you with practical ways to make a mind-shift to a rich and satisfying life.  We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. I am recording this podcast and journal in advance as I will have just arrived back from my week in Arizona. I will provide updates on my trip and Hazel’s progress on Wednesday. Everyone is busy. Schedules to follow, goals to achieve, problems to solve, appointments to keep, projects to finish, places to go, kids to love, and deadlines to meet. I get tired just thinking about it. I would say that it is a time for all of us to have a Mindshift – plan some time for reflection and relaxation and recharge your body, mind, and soul. So our trek today will cover… Don’t Just Do Something – Sit There! The problem for me, and probably for many of you, is that I enjoy keeping busy. I love my work, or at least most aspects of it. Even understanding this, at the end of many days I feel like I have been riding a merry-go-round. Plenty of action and movement, yet I didn’t seem to accomplish much. I end up with as much or more to do than when I started. I read a quote that said it well, “Don’t just do something, sit there.”  <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15224 aligncenter" src="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Dont-Just-Do-Something-Sit-There-1-300x206.jpg" alt="Don't Just Do Something - Sit There! 1" width="300" height="206" srcset="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Dont-Just-Do-Something-Sit-There-1-300x206.jpg 300w, https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Dont-Just-Do-Something-Sit-There-1-768x528.jpg 768w, https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Dont-Just-Do-Something-Sit-There-1-1024x704.jpg 1024w,...
