Is it a good idea to do absolutely nothing for a long period of time?
The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.” ~Sydney J. HarrisHave you ever been “insanely busy”?That’s been my world for the past 2days..but well, A lot of people say that they are too busy to do nothing. Yet those same people will happily invest hours in front of the television, or spend plenty of time fretting and worrying about something without allowing themselves the pleasure to just be.I’ve noticed that an hour slumped in front of the TV feels very different than one hour sitting in the park.Actually, doing nothing can be a great investment into your personal well-being and something worth making time for.But that doesn't mean, u will make that your profession!! wake up, yr holidays are gone.It is beautiful to work hard, and do something now…Because there will be a time, when “doing nothing “ will be the life!!
I spend too much time doing nothing. What should I do?
Doing nothing is impossible.The other day, I took a two-hour nap, and it felt amazing.I had trained really hard – I felt tired. I also had a big week full of work and wins – I definitely need some restoration. So I went to bed, closed my eyes, and stayed there for two hours.When I woke up, I felt revitalised.Now was I doing nothing? Quite the opposite.It was the most intentional nap ever. It was a great way to actually invest my time, feel great and perform better.If you're alive, it is impossible to do nothing.What you mean, is that you are doing things that don't take you anywhere.Things you don't really enjoy, that really have no impact in your future or in your day. They're giving you nothing.But you can never do nothing.You are doing something, just something that doesn’t get you anywhere.You're doing a lot of stuff, just the wrong things.When you accept that, you are suddenly empowered: all you have to do is replace what you are already doing.It's not a matter of like creating time or creating action. You just have to replace the things you're already doing.Here are three places to start from.Number one, set a clear goal, many clear goals for your life and your business so you know what you're trying to accomplish. If you're on a team, make sure that those goals also are reflected throughout the organisation, and that you regularly hold meetings to share actions and progress. Keep your team (and yourself!) focused on what matters.Number two, plan your day in advance. Here’s a video on how to do it.In a few minutes, you will be able to know exactly what you need to accomplish tomorrow in order to get closer to your most important priorities, in business and life.Number three, map out your week in advance.Know exactly what your most important activities are, and plan your week around them, not around “the urgent”. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail: other people’s requests and the seemingly urgent will distract you, and you’ll be forever looking for those extra 5 minutes where you can actually make progress.(You’ll never find them).Be proactive with your time, and you’ll never waste time again.– MattPS: ready to create the time to grow your business, read 43 life-changing books, and get the important done every day?Join my FREE email course Busy to Productive today.
Any tips for dealing with a husband gone for long periods at a time?
I was a trucker for 13 years, (longhual, regional, and local)been an instructor, and in admissions of a truck school as well. First of all Congrats on being so supportive of your husbands career choice thats a huge thing! He will need that continued support as he goes through his trainning with the company and completes his 1 to 2 yrs OTR experience. Stay possitive when you talk to him on the phone even when you're missing him, it makes it harder on both of U when you only talk about missing each other or negative stuff. Remember when he does come home on his days off give him time to decompress and get back on family time again before you start asking him to look at the bills or fix a leaky sink. ASk friends for help with repair issues or hire someone if possible trya nd make all his home time just for you and your family. Get online and check out the trucker websites there are some that have support groups for spouses of truckers and it can really help to be able to vent to people who are in the same boat. Some trucking comapniies actully have support groups within their companies to help with families too. If you have kids stay very involved in their activities, If you don't have kids get ahold of your girlfriends and family and make weekly dates with different ones or whole groups to go to dinner and the movies or just window shopping. Take little trips with friends to local places of interest. Where I Live in Calif we have alot of old mineing towns in the foothills and they are really fun to go walk around and look at the shops. plan candle parties, or tuperware parties, or even langerie parties, those are a great excuse to have friends over! If he doesnt allready have one, get a laptop computer and WiFi for him to take in the truck with a video camera that way he can IM you or email U with his live image and you can get one for your home computer, its alot nicer than just plain old email. Make sure your cellphones are on the same service with free mobile to moblile and unlimited roaming as you will save a bundle on cell bills. When he is done with trainning and has his own truck see about the companies rider program, If they will let you ride with him take some vacation time and do it! you'll be glad you did and so will he! And remember a year isnt really all that long and once he gets that under his belt he can find a good local job and all will be well with the world again be strong Good luck
Poll: Is 37 Days A Long Period Of Time Or Not?
It depends on what it is 37 days of. For instance, 37 days is a long time to eat nothing but tuna salad and jelly donuts or to stay on the island in Survivor. The last 37 days of school before summer break are INCREDIBLY long! On the other hand, 37 days is not much time at all to read every book in the library or to spend with the person you love best. 37 days is nothing in the lifespan of someone who's 85 years old, and an eternity to someone who's only 10.
Me and my bestfriend are drifting apart :(?
Me and my bestfriend are drifting apart :( we have been best friends for around 4 years now. Since the 2nd term of grade 10 there came a new girl into our class, my bestfriend showed her around the school and also were all her classes is. I did not have a problem with that. A week after that they started getting a bit closer. It got me thinking. It's the 4th term already and they are super close almost like they have known each other for years '_' but they have only known each other for around 2 terms. Last term she held a party at her house, I didn't want to go because of 2 reasons. And I was busy that night anyways The Monday after that my bestfriend and her sang our favourite song 'I take you to the candy shop' together. It broke me cause they were so happy and just hugged each other.... And it's a song me and my BFF would usually sing I told my bestfriend twice about this, that we're drifting apart. The 2nd time I told her she said:'I can't help it but I get more along with her than you' It made me feel so bad about myself that I cried myself to sleep that night. Thinking about all this that's going on. A lot of my friends in my class came up to me telling me that they can see I'm hurt and that I'm drifting apart with her. There was around 8+ of my friends who told me that they can see it. Nothing is the new girls fault. My bestfriend has just changed into someone else :( sometimes she would not even wait for me when we switch classes she would only

Marine boyfriend no contact for the next three months...?
Anxiety is completely normal and everyone deals with it differently. It is not for us to say what will be most useful to you. I personally find most military support groups a waste of time, filled with back-biting gossips and so after listening to the BS for a while, I decided to find some company that suited me. My spouse is off to deployment in a few weeks and I am working on my PhD and bettering myself so that we can have a better future. Some people get really involved in work or hobbies. Some people mope. I try to balance work and play and enjoy the life I have. I don't think it is healthy to focus to much on that which I have no control over. When I do get to speak with my spouse I am honest about what is going on and how I feel and he is honest with me. Open communication is the hallmark of a healthy relationship and it will serve you well over the course of your lives as you grow together. Take a deep breath and enjoy the sunshine. Today is a precious experience that you will never have exactly the same way again. You have to own it in the moment it is given.
A question for all the military spouses out there...?
Wow ya'll are bringing back memories!!!! It was almost 9 years ago when I was in your shoes and it still makes me sad to remember it. However take this time to learn how to be his support system. Write a letter to him every night because trust me he needs it. I will never forget being there on graduation day and everyone knew who I was just because I wrote to my husband everyday. We chose to keep our letters from both basic training and tech school and now we will each pull them out and read them every once in awhile and think back to that time, but we also have such a great keepsake for our girls one day. Yes it is a hard time but it is for both of you. Try and keep yourself busy find a small job, work out, read that book you always wanted to, take that class you always wanted to, do whatever you always wanted to do but never had the time to do. And everyone is saying if you can't handle it now how are you going to handle a deployment, well the answer to that is you cross that bridge when you get to it. This is the bridge you are at now so cross this one and when you get to then next one cross that one. Don't borrow trouble that is not here yet. The life of a military wife is one that is unpredictable, but with a good man by your side it will all be fine. For right now be his support, love him, and keep yourself busy the time will fly and before you know it years will have past and it will just be a sweet memory. Good luck to you both.
