Thinking outside the box? Why are you in the box at all?

Everyone talks about thinking outside the box.
My questions is, “Why are you in ’the box’ in the first place?

You may find deeper insights here to generate your thinking cap:

·      First, whose box is it?
·      Who said it was a good idea?
·      Why is it important to be in a box?
·      What do you get from the structure or boundary the box offers?
o  Fear
o  Need for structure
o  Unsure about the future
o  Want to contain a situation
Antidotes:
Try on a new perspective and ask what your life and career look like without the box. Write it down and reflect on it at a later time.

What could be another metaphor you can use that has a positive framework around it?
For example, how about writing your own Instruction Manual for raising kids, managing your finances, or planning a big event in your life, like a wedding. 
The Payoff:
By being the author, you retain and enliven your power to be your best. When you’re in a box, it was someone else’s “bright” idea. Own your own™!

Reflection is tricky

“I can’t go back to yesterday – because I was a different person then. ” – Lewis Carroll
Saw this quote on Jennifer Nguyen’s Facebook page. It encapsulated what I wanted to say about reflection.

Think of the magnitude of this statement. We’re all racing into the future when we may just miss the “door opening in the moment,” which was just the future. Heady, I know.

In coaching and business, planning is touted as the tool of choice. But, I think we over plan, and don’t allow time or room for serendipity to come into our lives.
What do you think?

Just look at American kids how they are over scheduled with play dates, sports and activities. There’s no down time. And, we wonder why they’re fatigued!

True for the parents and caretakers also. We’re so afraid of missing something, chasing a phantom life that hardly appears. (There must be an app [pill] for that!)
