Last Friday, my brilliant wife gave me a very clear instruction:
‘You need a weekend doing nothing.’ Doing nothing is alien to me; I’m always on the go.
But Christine is very good at making sure Michael doesn’t have a meltdown.
So, I listened.
After an hour of me doing very little, she asked how I was doing.
I claimed to feel… a little bored.
What she said next was brilliant, ‘Embrace the boredom.’
Isn’t that great? Just three words. I immediately flipped it and gamified being bored.
I embraced it.
I spent the next two and a half days embracing slowing down, pottering, and basically being bored.
Just by adding ‘Embrace’, it’s amazing what you can flip.
-
Embrace not having
-
Embrace slow
-
Embrace not being right
-
Embrace being hungry
-
Embrace not knowing
-
Embrace simple
What else could you embrace?
I’ll send a copy of my book Flip It: How to Get the Best Out of Everything https://amzn.to/3x0yzvi to our favourite.

Be Brilliant!
Michael
