Why am I going on a hike to Finland with a group of entrepreneurs?
To have fun.
And yet, I was stressed while preparing for it.
Then I realized: this happens all the time.
In business, but also in everyday life.
You go on holiday and somehow end up stressed because of everything that comes before it.
The preparation.
The packing.
The airport.
The travel.
You know those couples sitting in an all-inclusive restaurant looking grumpy the entire time?
You almost want to say:
Guys, you’re on holiday. Wasn’t this supposed to be fun? 😉
Business is exactly the same.
You organize an event and suddenly everyone is stressed.
There’s pressure.
There’s tension.
The atmosphere gets heavier and heavier.
But again:
Wasn’t this supposed to be fun?
Even when I give a masterclass, I can be stressed the entire day beforehand.
And why?
It’s always fun.
I always enjoy it.
And afterwards, I always feel great and satisfied.
So why do I stress myself out before it has even started?
Yesterday I decided:
Let’s stop this nonsense.
I’m going to enjoy every second of this adventure.
Not just the destination, but also the preparation, the travel, the uncertainty and everything that comes with it.
And you know what?
It works.
Today is day 1 of our adventure with Outspire – Creativity Hikes.
So let’s enjoy it.
All of it. 👇
