Simplify Your Summer Vibe, and Thrive
Simplify Your Summer
Each week this summer I will be sharing a different VIBE (book, podcast, helpful reference) and how it will help you THRIVE. My goal is to provide short snippets of a useful resource and help you implement it in a simple, fun way. This helps me simplify my summer newsletter planning as well which is what I constantly try to do - model the behavior I want to see. This week's vibe: SIMPLIFY.
Your Word or Theme
Did you choose a word for the year? If so, does it still inspire you? Does it apply to your summer goals?
One way to simplify and focus is to pick one word or theme and make it visible. As summer tends to have its own feel, it is ok to pick a different word for the next couple of months.
This word can help you in your career and personal life. My word for the year is CREATE, and it is still relevant for me this summer, but I'm adding "fun" to it. My theme for this summer is to CREATE FUN! Whether it is with my family, my clients, my neighbors or my friends - I want to incorporate some fun and laughs into our every day.
By printing the words out and reminding myself of this daily, it helps me lighten up and reminds me to not take myself too seriously. Sure, life can be heavy and require "adulting" at times (ugh, so annoying!). But many things can be held more lightly, can incorporate more smiles, and can be laughed at (including laughing at oneself!)
Once you pick your word or theme - really think about how to bring more of that into your work. How can you simplify your focus for the next 3 months? Think through what is critical, what is most impactful, and what can wait.
Whether you are embarking on a new project, looking to transition, working towards a promotion, or aiming for status quo - let others know your intentions for the next 3 months and share you word.
Think about how your word can support your relationships and personal life. How will you apply it, who is most important, and what tasks can wait?
If you don't have a word in mind, I will offer PRESENCE, FUN, HEALTH, NATURE, SLOW DOWN, and SAVOR. Being in the present moment is hard for many of us, but it is the path to joy. The season will be gone in a blink and most likely the work will still be there.
Use strategies that work for you to be in the present moment.
Simplify your summer by giving it a word or theme and intentionally focus on it! You will be amazed at how this simple act can streamline your thoughts and help you say no the distracting things that take you out of the present moment.
I'm looking forward to bringing reference tools and ways to enjoy them over this summer! Tune into your summer vibe and truly thrive this year!
Cheers to thriving,
Sharon
