Tuesday Tips: "Busy" is the new "Fine."

"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans."- John Lennon.


In today's world, everything happens so quickly. We've become the kind of society that thrives on Social Media, lives behind a screen and become so busy with life that we forget to truly take the time to enjoy it. I'm definitely guilty of this too. Now, I'm not talking about enjoy the party in photos so you can post them on Instagram but rather, genuinely be in the moment. Recently, I've tried to disconnect from the social world for an hour or two a day and really try to do things that enrich my life in other ways. Today's "Tuesday Tips" are focused on how to take the time out of our busy lives to really enjoy moments.


1. Disconnect. Just like I mentioned above, I take the time in my day to disconnect for a couple of hours. The world won't stop and neither will yours.
2. Do something to enrich your life. Whether you want to take time to read a book you've been meaning to read, draw or write, do it for you.
3. Connect. Make the time to connect with or reconnect with people. I use the couple hours I'm not connected to Social Media to really converse with and reconnect with my parents, or friends. It's important to make effort, regardless of how busy you are, to keep those connections alive.
4. Take the time to really focus on you. Rewrite goals or meditate. Make the focus about you.

What do you do to disconnect? Comment. Share.
