lEAVE YOUR PHONE BEHIND!

22/3/2015

Try looking around! Yes... drop your phone.

New week starting. I dare you to try something new: pay less attention to your phone. Leave it behind sometimes or don’t bother to check every 5 minutes if there is any new message.

Sounds difficult?

Go for it!

There’s nothing worse than feeling dependent on something so unispiring as a cellphone!

DROP IT.

So what will be the benefits of this ‘disconnected’ week?

1. You will feel great to be unreachable in a world where we are expected to be so available.

You will realize you own your time! You are the boss.

When you disconnect from the outside world, you connect with yourself.

2. You will understand the true value of real interaction, presence, experience (be there!! Look at it through your own eyes, not the phone screen) and connecting.

3. You will be also taking care of your posture. You will not be looking down the whole time.

You will look better. You will stand out from the crowd, People will notice how confident you look.

Life doesn’t happen on a tiny inch screen.

Give the world around you and the people around you your undivided attention.

That’s where the good stuff is. Don’t miss it!

Take this seriously, like it is the last part of your designed task.

If you've worked harder on your job than the last couple of months? Once your salary gets in your bank account buy yourself a gift (beautifully wrapped of course!);

If you've finally gotten serious about working out... buy yourself a new running t-shirt;

if you have dedicated yourself to getting your home in order and it's looking perfect... take time to enjoy it and get your best book, read it while listening to relaxing music by the fireplace.

You've earned it!

Now taste success and you'll be ready for your next battle!

You'll remember the taste of victory and that will get your mind and energy ready for the following task.

ABOUT ME

My name is T. S. Coelho and I live in Lisbon, Portugal, with my husband and three kids. I work in the asset management industry, managing an equities fund.

I decided to start this project in 2014 after realizing that my ‘grey finance world’ needed the color of writing after hours.

The decision on the subject to write about was easy to figure out: I combined the need to figure out how to feel healthy even when I sit for about 50 hours every week to my life dream of social justice – well, in this case it’s more about justice in the office – if talented, hardworking, shy people hide behind their desks, others will take advantage and fill in superior positions with higher rewards, higher recognition and more important than that greater personal fulfillment.

What I try to do here is to provide the means for extremely valuable people to find the confidence they need to succeed and to live a happier life. Enjoy!

BUILD SELF-RESPECT

Be sweet on the inside
