When I became a mom and B was hitting the toddler stage, I remember hearing about the idea of “time out” as punishment. I was familiar with spanking but resolved to try to never use it as a tool for discipline. Time out was a new concept for me, until I realized it was the old idea of “face the wall” rebranded for today’s mom.
As an adult, I realized that time out isn’t actually a punishment but a reward. A time out from your daily life, your daily routine can be what you need to ask yourself some big questions. A time out from traffic, from office politics, from a demanding boss is what you need to take a deep look at your life and check whether this is where you wanted to end up. A time out to finally listen to your soul and its longings, to finally try to understand what it wants.
My fortnightly coaching sessions or my first e-course CRAFT A LIFE VISION can provide that time out. But what if you can give yourself of more, because you not only want more but deserve more?
Look at time out as a gift. What will you do with it? Bury yourself in another Netflix video? Experience FOMO on your feed? Sleep until you have a headache?
What if you live your extraordinary life instead? What would that look like?
