Stand up. Right now. In this moment…
Take a step forward if the statement is true. Take a step back is the statement is not true.

We all encounter moments in our lives when we know we have to make a move.  We don’t always have clear directions or an articulated goal in mind, but we know that our current state no longer serves us.

The good news: We all have both extremes in us somewhere.  If we can read a situation well and flex the right extreme, we’ll come out on top.

I’m as addicted to my phone as you are.  I use it for email. I use it to text.  I use it to Facebook, and like Pavlov’s dog, I keep on looking/waiting/aching for the ding. A new client, a design to approve, a baby-date to schedule. All. Damn. Day.

When I landed my first serious “big girl” job at the ripe old age of 24, my colleagues included professionals with MBA’s, 10 years of Directorial experience, 40 years of life experience and killer resumes.

I challenge you, as I challenge myself, to re-frame boredom.  To remove the reaction to the emotional state of boredom and to channel that energy into something rich.
