When life gets busy, thinking time is often the first thing to disappear. But without space to step back, we can easily end up moving through life without checking whether we're actually headed in the…
We're gonna talk today about thinking, which is maybe a little bit of an esoteric idea, but I'm going somewhere really practical with this.
This is the place, after all, where we talk about what it actually takes to live a life that's full and fulfilling.
And I think that somewhere in the middle of that to create a life that is both and, full and fulfilling, we need a little time to think.
And it's something that I think in a certain season of life, we don't get enough of, right? I feel like at the true peak of complexity, when kids need a lot and work needs a lot and your house needs a lot, sometimes you're like, I have no time to think.
And my point of view is it is imperative that we carve out and create that time and that space to think, or we're going to end up in a situation where we're going through the motions of life.
and never really making sure that we're steering in the right direction.
So I want to ask you, and I want you to answer this honestly for yourself.
Don't just like skim past it, right? When is the last time you actually took a day to think? Not like an hour or 15 minutes in the car.
When's the last time you took a day and said the explicit purpose of this day is to think the about what I want, about where I'm going, about what's going well in my life, what's not, maybe to learn about something that you're curious about.
This isn't like, when's the last time you took a day off? Because I know what we do with those.
We take a day off and we're checking email in between activities and we're cleaning out the garage and getting to some project that we haven't gotten to.
I'm talking about a day where you put yourself in an environment where there's enough stimulus removed that you can actually think and you don't apologize for it and you don't feel guilty about it.
Most of the women that I work with, the honest answer to that question is either I can't remember when is the last time I did that or I know the answer and it's never.
When did you last take a day to think and then what is the power of actually doing that? I want to tell you where this idea came from for me.
Where did I hear about it? What I've seen happen when people actually do it? What is the benefit? And then toward the end, I'm going to tell you about a way to have that exact experience with me in person before the end of this year, how you can have a thinking day with thought partnership before the end of this year.
