Day 6: Creating Time & Space

Day 6, just 2 days left!

I know how hard it is to carve out time for personal growth, I have the same issues. We have the distractions of Eid cookie making and visiting family, a job, shopping, the fact that there are always people around talking, smoking, chatting, etc. Each of us has a million reasons why it’s hard to spend 10 mins to sit and think about our strengths and how we can bring them into our lives a fresh.

This is why today’s supplemental assignment should be done first thing. Find time. Rather make time. For me, sometimes I need to go to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror to make space for myself. Perhaps you can go get “groceries” and go for a walk around the block. How will you make time for yourself today? Just 10 mins.

In those 10 mins ask yourself these two questions - Given my Signature Strength, what’s a new way I can use it today? How did my strengths develop and how am I developing my strengths?

Sit with them, don’t force an answer. There’s no right or wrong. Give yourself time to deepen and really contemplate. You’ll be surprised at how much depth there is within you.

Finding time! It really is the last thing to think about. I guess we all can relate to the following, when you reach home there usually is a shower of emotions and questions waiting for u once u open the door! So u will need to be calm and ready for them, what i usually do is, i sit alone in the car, after reaching home from work, and since no one knows you are home yet, no one will disturb u! I just stay in there for 10 min, in silence, or sometimes listening to some of my favorite songs. It really calms me down after a long day at work, helps me think clearly, wash out all the stress and to continue the day with a good spirit.

What a great idea and approach, I never thought of the car in the garage. Probably because it’s been almost 10 years since I’ve driven a car ;D! haha!
