In our daily lives it is easy to lose sight of what our purpose is. We wake up, eat breakfast, go to school, go home, eat dinner, go to bed and do it all over again. Day in and day out, our routine becomes a part of us, and sometimes the mundane work of repetition is what inhibits our ability to be creative or create new things.
What if we changed our way of thinking and rather than woke up each day and wishing for the day to already be over, if we could live in the moment for once? What would it look like if we took the time to learn new concepts and applied them in our daily lives? What would our day be like if we took the time to enjoy our food and company and engulfed ourselves in meaningful conversations? What if we didn’t wish for our day to end just as we awoke, but rather embraced what may come as far as challenges and struggles that help us to build our character and well-being as a problem solver and deep thinker.
This is what we call CHANGE. Change is good and you go first.
When we started 1 in 9, we asked each of you to watch the TedTalk video on Minimalist. After viewing the video, we asked all of you to start a journey on making small changes in your daily lives that would lead to the value of others and yourself. Each week we encouraged you to take larger steps into making each week thoughtful and meaningful and most importantly mindful in what you do. A habit only takes 21 days to for it to stick.
- What activities stuck out to you the most and why?
- What were you able to take away from the TedTalk Minimalist and 1 in 9 activity that you can continue to apply as a leader?
