About this episode
“Dad, when’s the last time you unplugged for four or five weeks?”
That was my son. Right before he left to run our training in Denver. And I told him. It’s been years.
Now I’ll openly admit. I coach. I teach. I run a business. I host webinars. Even when I say I’m “off,” I’m still working. If your work is taking care of other people, you probably know what I mean.
In this week’s check-in from Hawaii, I’m talking about something most high-functioning people refuse to face. People use “I’m too busy helping everyone else” as a way to avoid working on themselves. We just wrapped our NLP Practitioner Training in Houston, and this kept surfacing with the assistants and the team. What about me? What about me? Not in a selfish way. In a harmonious way.
Look, morning sets the tone. Water. Nature. A few quiet minutes that belong to you. These small foundational things are what let you show up well for everyone else. Most people skip them and wonder why nothing feels solid.
So I’m taking some real downtime here. And I’ll be coming to you every week from here.
What’s one small thing you could do today that helps you show up better for the people who need you?
Subscribe and I’ll see you next week. Aloha.
