Have boundaries. It’s perhaps the most important takeaway I’ve had from this pandemic. When the world shutdown I was forced into limited space, limited activity and limited company. It became about me and... well me.
•
The first few hours of the morning have become my sacred hours. I start my day here. I sort out my head here. I drink my coffee here. I breath deeply here. I zone out to my music here. The mornings are mine.
•
Time became very valuable, in the sense of the pace. Meaning, how empty or full was my time?
•
When the world shutdown and I slowed down, I was able to compare two versions of myself - the busy me, and the not so busy me. It was night and day in terms of my mental health, mood, attitude, sleep and physical health.
•
I realized that I needed the slow. I needed my mornings. I needed the not-so-full schedule. I needed the room to breathe. I needed the space to be mindful with my moments - not blow through them just to “get things done today.”
•
I needed boundaries. I had to put myself and my time before anyone else. As a longtime people pleaser and “Yes Man,” I had to start to say “No” without feeling guilt.
•
My time is my boundary.
