Calling the Shots From Home
You hear it all the time. One of the perks of being self-employed is being your own boss. But have you ever stopped to consider that you are the CEO of your own life?
You might disagree with this, saying that your responsibilities control your life, whether it be children, credit card debt or a demanding job. But at some point in your life, you chose those things. You may not be able to change your past, but if you want your future to reflect your desires, you must start managing your life.
Most of us have internalized some sort of authority that helped us get through our lives at one point or another. But it may not serve us anymore. It’s important to actively choose the kinds of motivation and structure we want.
Think back to a great teacher you had. Or an excellent coach. A motivating boss. Even a really great babysitter.
What qualities did they have that you admired? How did they bring out the best in you? Write these down and try to embody them in your own life.
Maybe an old coach always expected you to be honest, trusting you implicitly. You didn’t want to take advantage of that, and so you never told him a lie, no matter how tempting it might be to say you finished your laps around the track.
Try doing that to yourself. Trust yourself to do the right thing, and you won’t need to be dishonest with yourself.
We all need authority and structure in our lives; it’s what motivates us to continue when things might get a little tough. It keeps us in check.
When we actively choose to be our own boss, instead of following the whims of our past, our lives will reflect that. We’ll move closer to becoming the people we know we can be.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
PURPLE MONTH (EPILEPSY AWARENESS) EVENT
Hi everyone! I'm Renee and I am the educator for Epilepsy NZ covering the Waitematā.
This month (March) is Purple Month, a month where we recognize, raise awareness and raise funds to support people living with epilepsy in our community.
Purple Month often culminates with Purple Day - March 26th.
This year also happens to be the 70th anniversary of The Epilepsy Association of New Zealand and so I am putting together an event to also celebrate that which I'm hoping will be a bit extra special!
This event will take place on Friday the 20th of March at the Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre.
I am sending out a call for bakers, artists, businesses willing to contribute raffle items, and all around good-sorts who would be willing to donate their time and talents to this event, supporting those who live with epilepsy and the service we provide them.
I myself will be hosting/MC'ing the event and providing some live music and would love to invite along other musos who would be willing to participate in this as well.
Please reach out to me at auckland.nth@epilepsy.org.nz if you are keen to contribute or be involved in some way and I hope to see lots of you lovely people there!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
