THE SHIFT FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING
One day, while working at a coffee shop, I overheard this exchange:
Barista: How's it going?
Coffee Shop-Goer: Exhausted. Hanging in there. Surviving.
It got me thinking about the single most powerful shift we could all make in our own lives to change our default answer to "Refreshed. Happy to be alive. Thriving."
For me these days, I think my answer actually comes back to my calendar - the days I feel "exhausted" are the days I over-schedule myself and am running all over the place, whereas the days I feel "refreshed and thriving" are the days that contain a bit more spaciousness for creation and creativity and forward movement.
What about you? What do you know about your "surviving versus thriving days?"
