Time of good intentions

Here we are there. The end of the year has come and with it the time to define the good intentions for the new year that is about to start. With this article I want to give you an idea on a goal, from my point of view, extremely important.

Very often, although knowing what we should or would like to do, we don't do it for a thousand reasons. One of these is summarized by the following sentence: "I don't want to sacrifice the time dedicated to my family" . This is fully shared: we have a lot of things to do, the weather is scarce and we care about our loved ones. Here I want to bring the speech to another point of view. As I have already said, all of us have our family at heart, many of the things we do every day we do them just about taking care of our loved ones.

Another point of view

The point of view to which I want to bring your attention is, in this case, that of the quality of the time in place of the quantity . Answer this question:

Is it better to pass, let's say, 3 hours with your family with a discreet quality of the time spent together, or spend 2 and a half hours of high quality?

Note: there is no right or wrong in this case. It is something intimate and very subjective. Training in the race, for example, doing physical activity with constancy or, more generally, doing what we like to do, improves our mood thanks to the natural secretion of endorphins by our brain. It makes us feel better thanks to the pleasant sense of having done something for us. It gives us a healthy sense of pride.

Since it's time to define the good intentions, I invite you to reflect: if you are in a good mood, if you are better, the time spent with your family is of higher quality, you are more available, more attentive to the requests of those around you. Take care of ourselves helps us to improve the way we take care of others. A bit like on the plane, when they tell you that, in case of pressurization problems in the cabin, first we must make sure to wear our oxygen mask at best, and then to help our children wear theirs.

Do you really want to take care of your family? Start taking care of yourself or yourself .
