What Aren’t You Noticing?

One day the trees were green, and the next time I looked, the leaves were yellow, orange and red.  One day, it was light out when I ran in the morning and then all of a sudden we needed lights to run safely.  I know there were incremental changes that I wasn't paying attention to, but everything seemed to happen overnight.

This happens in life too.  We're so busy doing life that we miss the small changes that are happening around us at home and work.  We look up one day and…

🤔Your new hire is ready for more responsibility

🤔The project that was under control is now off-the-rails

🤔The job you loved once is no longer challenging

🤔Your child who normally does well in school is now struggling

🤔The muscle tone you worked so hard for has disappeared from not prioritizing the strength workouts.

We divert our attention from the things that are working well or don't need our close watch, and poof, sometimes things change without us noticing.

This isn't a message to say that we need to be ultra-vigilant.  It is a reminder message that it's key to slow down periodically, look around, and see what's shifting.
