Doing Our Work

April 27, 2012

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

This week I started using the HAAPPi.Me® Planning with Insight™ tool.   There is stuff to learn here!    I am becoming more aware of how the activities of my week support or don’t support life areas.   Helpful to know!

What I am also noticing is a reminder that we can know something in our heads, understand it, and still find there is more to learn.   So often we get a surface understanding and leave it at that.   It is like hearing a description of chocolate, seeing a picture, remembering what chocolate tastes like.   That is nice, but, not the true experience of having a piece of chocolate, smelling it, touching  it, putting in your mouth, feeling the texture, tasting the sweetness, the chocolate-ness of it.   Having the intellectual experience isn’t the same as having the real thing.

So too with managing our lives;  we want to be happy, make good decisions, lessen stress, act in accordance with our values, and it is easy to get sidetracked, stuck in habits, neglect things.  Intellectually we can know what to do, and still find that the experience of doing it falls short, misses something. 

It is worthwhile to commit time and attention and create the opportunity to realize habits, routines that may be out of sync, to see what is on track and what is not.   That is what I am finding as I work with this new tool.  

How do you manage this?  How do you stay on track?  How do you determine what needs attention?   What works and what doesn’t work? 

More of this, less of that please,

Judy
