ARE YOU ROWING AROUND IN CIRCLES?
This week I racked up 950 days alcohol-free. This reminded me of a story, which says goals are like the rudder on a small rowboat. The rudder sets the direction and determines where you go in life. The oars are your process for achieving it.
In my lived experience, if you commit to one major goal, the rudder stays put and you continue moving forward.
If you flip between goals, the rudder moves all around and it is easy to find yourself rowing in circles.
My rudder is simply and only ‘living the best life I can’. The oars I use on a daily basis are:
- Don’t drink alcohol
- Meditate daily
- Walk in nature
- Always be curious and have a beginner’s mind
Everything then just falls into place.
STEPS YOU CAN TAKE
Write down three things that you can do every day or regularly that will help you work towards achieving your main goal.
In my book ‘Walking Back To Happiness – The Secret To Alcohol-free Living & Well-being’ I share ALL the obstacles I faced, the wisdom I gained and the challenges I overcame during the first year of going alcohol-free. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nigel-Jones/e/B0B7RP6LH6/
