December Reflections #3

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the third edition of my newsletter!
“Your Weekly 3xBs Dose” is not just another newsletter in your inbox. Here, you'll find ideas You can simply put into action directly. Think of it as your weekly dose of inspiration served with a side of real-world “wisdom.”

I’m Lotta Spjut, on the verge of celebrating a half-century of life, who believes in the power of sharing inspiring stories and practical advice.

If You were with me last week, I hope You took the time to test any of the Japanese philosophies. If You did, I´m sure You have already discovered some positive differences in your daily life. That´s how powerful they are.

Here´s my sharing for this week. I hope You find something valuable for your life and business this week.

As December rolls in, I'm reminded of past years when this month felt more like a sprint of stress than a season of joy. I used to get caught up in the frenzy of 'perfect' holidays – homemade meals, magazine-worthy decorations, You name it. However, I've learned that the beauty of December isn't in perfection. It's in connection and embracing the imperfect.

In today's world, it's easy to get caught up in the digital whirlwind and forget about the real, tangible life happening around us. We often put off truly connecting with others and looking after ourselves, getting lost in the hustle of work, TV, and endless to-do lists. Those small, precious moments- reading bedtime stories to your kids, dancing in the rain, or enjoying a family weekend getaway- truly enrich our lives.

Time is fleeting, and every moment is priceless. Life is happening now, not 'someday.' We must seize it actively, not let it pass us by in a blur of distractions. Let's choose to live deeply, make meaningful connections, and enjoy every second of our lives.

Actionable 3xBs Tools

Body: '7-Minute Energizer'- This is your daily call to awaken body and spirit. In just five minutes, engage in dynamic exercises that strengthen your body and mind.

This ritual is not about rigor but about setting a tone of vitality for the day ahead. It's a gentle reminder that your well-being is not found in grand gestures but in small, consistent acts of self-care.

Brain: '15-Minute Evening Reflection' – Give yourself the space to reflect as the day ends. This quarter-hour is an investment in mental clarity and emotional balance.

Review the day's events, acknowledge your wins, and note areas for growth. This isn't about critique but appreciating the journey and learning from each step. It's how You grow wiser, not just older.

Business: 'Weekly Planning Ritual' – Transform anticipation into action with a 30-minute planning session each Sunday. This is where You lay the groundwork for a week of purposeful actions and over-reactive responses.

Prioritize your objectives, strategize on key tasks, and set your intentions. It's about taking control of your time before it takes control of You, ensuring that You drive your business, not vice versa.
