Build your own normal

Doing as others told me,
I was blind.

Coming when others called me,
I was lost.

Then I left everyone,
myself as well.

Then I found everyone,
myself as well.

-Rumi-

I love this poem. But stepping away from the crowd to find yourself is a lot harder than it sounds!

Here are 3 small changes that help me take a step back and get new perspective on my life. These aren’t major disruptions, but they have great benefits…

• Limit social media. (Try logging out of your apps for 1 full week)
• Get up early. (Try getting up 1 hour earlier than you usually do. Try for 7 days straight)
• Take a break from drinking. (Or whatever your daily habit is, cut it out for a week)

Disrupting your “normal” gives you the opportunity to build yourself a new normal. One that you get to create 🙂

Happy Sunday! Rest up 🙂
