I talk a lot about being "more than your career," but what does that actually look like?
1 thing I usually bring up in this conversation is creating your Life Pie.
3-5 sections of your life (ex: work, family, health). Can be what it currently looks like or what you want it to look like.
But what you're actually creating when you have more pie pieces than just work are "Landing Pads."
Landing Pads are other places to get our happiness, support, worth, identity, and more.
My favorite Landing Pads have been
Journaling
Close friends
Working out
My business
These are no longer just hobbies, habits, or "things" on my calendar.
They're Landing Pads!
So if you're contemplating whether to…
Start that podcast
Pickup the journal
Go to the event to meet new people
(Insert anything you’ve been meaning to do, but haven’t)
…don't think of these just as hobbies, habits, or "things" to add to your calendar.
These are Landing Pads you're creating for yourself!
