Foundation matters

Taking care of ourselves isn’t separate from the work, it is the work.

When we’re generating something new in our lives or business, it asks more of us. It doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from how we’re living.

In my coach training, they required us to do 30 minutes of meditation a day, 1 hour of exercise a day, 1 hour each week doing something new and more. I calculated the requirements were 2.5 hours a day 7 days a week for a year. At first it felt overwhelming to find the space in a busy schedule to do everything. Wake up early to meditate or run over for Aikido at lunch time.

It was not meant as a routine, but as a way of supporting who we were becoming. Because if the foundation isn’t there, it’s hard to hold anything bigger.

You can have the vision, know what to do, but if you don’t have the energy or the steadiness to carry it, things start to slip.

It’s not just about where you’re going, it’s also how are you taking care of yourself along the way.

This is the foundation of anything we do.

Before you even do the tasks themselves, What are you doing, or what could you be doing, that would actually support you getting where you want to go?
