It's Five O'Clock Somewhere

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere

A classic Jimmy Buffet song that refers to having a drink when ever the feeling strikes and justifying it because it’s 5 o’clock somewhere got me thinking the other day…

Not only do I like the song, I love the message I took away. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not encouraging you to drink 24/7 but I am encouraging you to hear the message that I did.

We tend to get so wrapped up in schedules, work, running from here to there and we forget to live life.

We feel guilty because we work too much, we feel guilty because we don’t work enough. We forget to take time to play, laugh, and do something spontaneous. When was the last time you actually did something just for you and truly engaged in it no guilt?

I hope you can all say just yesterday but my guess is you can’t remember when.

I would like to challenge you to take 5 minutes to pick one thing you love to do just for yourself and schedule a time if you have to or just do it right now.

You could also make a list of all the fun, silly, happy things you love to do and keep it handy. Whenever the mood hits you, look at your list and pick something that will make you feel awesome.
