When was the last time you just stopped?

We’re all busy.

We all have our worries and concerns.

Expected to do more with less and in a shorter space of time.

When was the last time you took time out to just stop?

To take a breath?

To re-orientate?

To think?

I coach executives (like most us) under great, seemingly unrelenting pressure.

Trying to do it all.

Be all things to all people – leader, colleague, friend, partner, parent, son/daughter.

With ever dwindling resources.

In a world that seems to be changing faster and faster.

“Running marathons in a hamster wheel” as one client described it.

I work on creating a safe space with my clients where they can pause.

Just for a moment.

To reflect deeply.

To be challenged.

So that new perspectives can be gained.

So that their path of “busy-ness” really leads to what they really want to achieve.

Next time you catch yourself in your marathon of busy-ness,

Just stop.

Reflect on why you’re doing what you’re doing.
