The Challenge:
Today’s hybrid and virtual team members are busier than ever. The pandemic has caused the majority of America’s workforce to be mono-focused. Without the “normalcy” of driving to work, hanging out with friends, meeting people, being in the office, or going to a restaurant, we have become accustomed to waking up, working, and then collapsing after a 12-14 hour work day, exhausted, and depleted for the next day.
The pandemic has led to two major challenges:
- Without physical closeness, we have driven further apart from our teammates.
- With the complete focus on work, we have forgotten how to design our lives around our priorities.
As human beings, we were taught how to work with excellence. We were unfortunately not taught how to design our lives with excellence. Many of us work, to the complete detriment of our physical and mental health, because we were not given the tools to identify what we truly care about, to articulate our personal principles, and to design “The Good Life,” the life that would bring us meaning, joy, energy, and effectiveness.
What is the Good Life?
The Good Life is your vision of you living your life at its fullest potential. It’s a written declaration, clearly defining what you care about, what you stand for, and what you do inside your good life in each area of your life.
Relationship | State of Mind/ Emotional Health | Physical Health | Spirituality | Professional Career | Personal Life
Why The Good Life Is Important:
- A fulfilled life is much more meaningful than a careful life.
- Life is a precious opportunity for growth.
- Life is about taking care of what you care about
- Life is about taking risk, being present, and being in satisfying relationships
- Life is a Work of Art
- Life is a journey with ups and downs and struggles that are within themselves fulfilling
