(Tip of the Week) Be Here. Now.

This contributor post was written by Tiffany Moore.

Today’s post isn’t meant to be helpful to you in moving your business forward. I’m not going to list tips and tricks to get more followers on facebook or more subscribers to your newsletter.

I’m not going to list the top 5 ways that you can be more productive or manage your time better.

I’m not going to recommend that you do anything but reflect.

Stop and reflect.

We all spend so much time moving, pushing, growing, learning and trying to make everything better – the absolute best that it can be. We do it in our businesses, and we do it in our lives.

We do it so often that the forward momentum becomes a habit (which as a coach, I LOVE!), a habit that while serving us in some ways, hinders us in others. A habit that often forces us to overlook the things we’ve accomplished and built for the sake of getting more and better.

Today my challenge to you is this: take a little time to be.

To be with your business, with your life, with your relationships, with yourself. Take stock of where you are, knowing that it’s no accident, that you have built your life in this way.

Maybe there are some things that you’d change, but rather than focus on those, spend some time thinking about what’s right, what’s working, and what’s worth relishing.

Look at the creative business you’ve built and give yourself some much-deserved credit for getting it to a point of awesome. By stopping to reflect, you’ll be able to see where you’ve been, what you’ve learned, and how far you’ve come.

And then tomorrow, you can get back to the business of making more awesome. But trust that, for today, you’re just as awesome as you need to be.
