GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

INTELIGENTE = “SMART” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about “working smart not hard”

Although working hard is sometimes required what makes more sense sometimes is to work smart

This means consider everything you can that would allow you be more efficient with your time and energy while approaching the task at hand

For example if you had to move a couch from one side of the room to the other and it was so heavy that it required two people without scuffing the floor while dragging there might be a solution

Maybe the couch requires two people to lift off the ground and move but maybe by yourself you can lift up half the couch while the other half remains on the ground

If this is possible you could lift up one half and carefully place something like a “furniture mover” or something that allows you to put something between the “feet” of the couch and the floor that has one side with a smooth surface and the other side making contact with the feet a surface that would provide grip. Once you pick up one side and place a mover under each foot you then lift the other side and place the two movers under the remaining two feet. Now with all the feet of the couch now on the movers you can easily push the couch to the other side of the room while not having to worry about scuffing the floor

The example above is a solution that would take perhaps a little bit of planning ahead or creative thinking but some may just accept they do not have another to assist in lifting the couch and try to “walk” the couch by lifting up one side at a time and moving one half closer to the desired location and then repeating the process by alternating this method from one half of the couch to the other until you have walked the couch to the other side of the room. This would be “Working hard”

Others may decide the only way to move the couch is to sacrifice the floor and live with any damage to the floors by pushing it with the feet of the couch as they are. This is an example of “Working hard not smart”.

Others may just give up the idea that they want to have the couch moved at all because it is not worth the fuss

If you really want something done than it is worth the fuss

But if it is not something you want enough than the hassle the task would require than you aren’t giving up but deciding that it isn’t worth your time or effort to do something that is not needed

An example of something that may not be needed would be there is a meal that you are preparing and you notice that one of the ingredients is not in your fridge

If the meal can be had without this ingredient than maybe just leaving this ingredient out for this meal is a better option than pausing the preparation of the meal in order to go to the store and pick up a single ingredient

It does not always mean that “worth the fuss” includes not getting what you want but maybe a version that still allows you to get what you want but not EXACTLY what you wanted. Pizza with pepperoni and Serrano peppers is delicious but Pizza without peppers is still Pizza. So if it was Pizza that you wanted and there is one less topping than desired, Pizza is still on the Menu if that is your desire

Sometimes what you wanted is something that if what is required to obtain it requires more than what you are willing to do than one way to look at this is, “I want this thing BUT I do not want to do the things required to obtain it MORE than I want this thing so if you have to pick between the thing you wanted and doing the things required to get it versus not doing the things required than you are saying that you don’t want that thing. You thought you “wanted” that thing but really you don’t because it is not “worth the fuss”

Work Smart not Hard

I will leave you with a quote from one of your ancestors, US President Abraham Lincoln

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”

LEAD WITH LOVE

HONESTLY TRY

REPEAT THESE TWO STEPS EVERY DAY

LOVE TRY REPEAT

Believe in yourself

Don’t be hard on yourself

Allow yourself to see what is possible

Never let doubt be the thing that prevents you from trying to achieve what you desire most

Remember your wins

Learn from your mistakes

Have fun along the way

You have more influence over your health and happiness than you know

DRINK WATER❕
