94 degrees today! It was a perfect day to enjoy the air conditioning at the movies. Bob and I saw “Bridesmaids” and it was pretty hilarious. There was one quote, however, that caught my interest.
“You are your biggest problem, but you are also your solution.” It probably didn’t go exactly like that, but that’s the gist. I’ve heard the the first part of the quote so many times, but this is the first time I heard the latter with it. I like it a lot. The first part is, of course, usually true and it’s good to to recognize your part in situations, but the latter offers hope with it. It’s upbeat and encouraging.
Reflection and solutions are so essential when running a business, but they are also beneficial in just everyday experiences. Surprisingly to me, most of my reflection and solutions happen when I’m relaxing, not when I’m working. The breaks allow my mind to breathe and catch up. The solutions tend to just pop up and I can’t believe I wasn’t able to think of it before!
I try to take breaks often. It saves me wasted time of frustration.
I’d also like to take an hour a week to truly reflect on the week before. I’ve read that this works wonders for businesses.
