Running on Empty

Your car...it's got lights and signals to let you know when something needs to be addressed.  I took my car to "E" the other day.  All along the way, my car was warning me that it needed gas.  I kept going.  But, I knew that I could only push my car so far before it simply ran out of fuel and it stopped running {and then I'd have to make the dreaded call to J that he had to come get me}. Well, your mind and your body are giving you signs, alerts, and signals all the time to let you know when you're running on empty or simply need a slight repair.  However, we are often so busy that we continue to ignore these signs and just keep the throttle pushed, working and grinding through our days and weeks. When is the last time that you sat down and did a performance checklist on your mind and your body?  How long will you continue to expect high performance output with minimal care and attention? Just a quick overall on your mindset, attitude, words, and actions can tell you what type of action you need to take. Here are a few questions to get you thinking today - What have you accomplished this month/quarter/year? How do you feel? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually? Where do you feel you need to focus your efforts? Where have you fallen short? What goals and dreams you say you want, yet you haven’t taken any real action on? Why? What have you learned so far? What goals need to be adjusted? What small changes can you make? What does your recovery look like? When is the last time that you really rested? Where do you feel overwhelmed or distracted? What needs to go? Are your actions in alignment with who you want to be? Let's top expecting to perform like a Ferrari when we treat ourselves like a Toyota 4Runner. Enjoy today's episode! Let's go.
