Loving Monday: Who’s It For?

loving_mondayNothing like a brief vacation with the family to raise deeper questions.

Life on the blog has been quiet this past week because I am enjoying my family on a California road trip.

Away from schedules and deadlines and expectations and demands, my heart and mind free up in refreshing ways.

Present with the people who are most important to me, I am reminded that one of the reasons I work has to do with their well-being. One of the reasons I take a job that is a crazy mix of positives and negatives is their provision.

Vacations are good for perspective resets.

Do you need a perspective reset? Are you caught up in a whirlwind of activity and feel like you’re losing sight of what it’s all for?

Try taking a break.

Get away for a weekend. Go away for a week! Whether brief or extended, step away. Spend some focused time with the people who are most important to you.

It will recharge and refocus your work. I’m certainly benefiting from mine!

Loving Monday is a weekly column designed to encourage us to step into our weeks with an intention to show up authentically, engage fully, and choose to make it a good week for ourselves. Explore past columns here.
