I have this slightly weird thing. Tell me if anyone else does this.
Lately, I’ve been trying more and more to actually enjoy the moment I’m in.
And I came up with a perfect example.
I’ve even started doing it. 😉
Say you’re driving home after a meeting and you’re still full of energy because it went really well.
Sometimes I think:
I just want to celebrate this for a minute.
Maybe grab a coffee at a gas station.
But most of the time, you think:
“Ah, I’ll just wait until I get home. I can have a coffee there.”
And that’s where it goes wrong.
I’ve decided that you should actually stop at the gas station.
Get the cappuccino.
Sit down and drink it there.
Have a little chat with someone who happens to be there too.
It’s ridiculously simple.
But somehow, it makes life feel so much more fun.
And the same thing happened today.
I really didn’t feel like going for a run.
But I went anyway.
And somehow, I ended up at the Almere Poort Run.
How does that even happen? 😂
It was great, I had a chat with people and I had actually forgotten to register.
But I was there anyway.
Maybe that’s the point.
Stop saving everything for later.
Stop always thinking, “I’ll do that when I get home.”
Or, “I’ll do it tomorrow.”
Sometimes you just have to stop for a moment, enjoy it and see what happens.
Does anyone else do this?
Or better yet:
Who’s going to start doing this from now on? ☕️
