It’s been a long time.   I’m back from an amazing trip feeling recharged and full of wonder.  With that in mind, I have a blog entry that I felt was best shared on a Monday morning.  It’s about getting back into rhythm vs. choosing your rhythm

Yesterday as I was mentally preparing to go back to work after 2.5 weeks of vacation, I said to myself, “Starting tomorrow I’m going to need to get back in the swing of things.  I’ll have to get back into that rhythm.”  Then I paused for a moment and asked myself, “Am I sure I just want to go back to the old routines and rhythm of doing things?”  Some of the old habits, routines, and rhythm were great, but others didn’t serve me well.  Before plunging headfirst into the way things used to be, I needed to take a moment to decide what I would like to carry forward and what I’d like to adjust.

What does this have to do with anything?  Maybe you’re coming back from vacation.  Maybe you’re coming back from a weekend.  Either way, right now you are likely in front of your laptop or smartphone getting ready to dive into the week and get back to the rhythm of doing things.  Before you dive in, is this the rhythm you want to be part of?  Are there any tweaks or changes you’d like to make to what you are part of and how you are doing things?  Now would be a good time to think about those and figure out how to evolve your rhythm.

The challenge: How will you find the best rhythm for you?

Have a jolly good day,
