When everything seem to be go, go, go and when it seems like everything is being put on you, don’t forget to try to decompress when you can. When things get overwhelming, sometimes the pressure just grows and progress actually slows down or the pressure will be released at a time that is not good.
Don’t Worry. Let it be.
Don’t worry about the things you have absolutely no control over. They aren’t worth it. Just let it be.
Over Teching
I guess I don’t fully understand the hype over smart watches. I just feel that they are just going to make us more dependent on technology and make us less social. There is a lot we can get out of technology, but we can’t let it take away some of the skills we need to develop. Technology is a tool, not a crutch. We are also getting too connected at times.
You are not an island
No matter your beliefs, you can’t do it alone. If you are struggling with something, talk to someone about it. It will help sort everything out.
Nothing is ever easy
Life is not always easy. It is how you handle the rough patches that truly show you where you are. It is the rough patches where you learn the most.
Breaks aren’t bad
Don’t forget to take time to rest. If you are just go, go, go, go you never get a change to enjoy things and you will just burn yourself out.
Slow Down and Smell The Tip of the Day
The Tip of the Day is brought to you by time standing still.
Sometimes you just have to take it slow and let things happen. Rushing things don’t typically make things better – it usually turns out that a rush job isn’t good in the end.
Very rarely has something I rushed been what it should be.
Don’t Let Social Media Replace Real Conversation
I think we are starting to let social media has too much influence and control over our lives. Sure, it can be great for talking to someone who might be a long distance from where you are, but I think that it is starting to make us forget how to communicate in real life. I really don’t like this concept of something not really being official until it is online.
I think that people are somewhat using it to hide from some of the conversations that they are not wanting to have or are too scared to have. That’s not good. I feel that social media has somewhat become a crutch in real life.
I think that as a society, we need to relearn how to be social again. We are letting social media and technology make the tough conversations be behind a curtain.
Don’t Be the Weather Story
I know that the videos of severe weather can be quite impressive, but please don’t take them unless you know what you are doing. If you don’t just get yourself to safety.
Don’t Just Take The Easy Road
The easy way isn’t always the best way. If the easy way is just doing the same over and over again, there is no opportunity for change. There is nothing that can happen without some risk. You have to take risks and have faith that the best (which isn’t necessarily what you think is the best) outcome will happen.
