Off The Hook

Have you heard of this expression? It could mean one of two things, first of all, it's when something is amazing, like "this party is off the hook!"  I am referring to the other meaning which is letting yourself "off the hook," instead of getting things done because of excuses, procrastination, or just life.

In my always happy state of mind, I always find reasons why I could not finish something.  I am a hard worker, and enjoy doing a good job and getting things done.  Especially now, married with kids, life is always happening, and that life is in the moment, there is no escaping it, when a diaper needs to be changed, we must do it now.  Then there is work, and some people are stuck in jobs they don't like just to pay the bills, and they sit at that job not necessarily being productive, or resent every second that they are there, and call in sick often. 

Then there is my situation where I am doing exactly what I want, but in order to support myself and my family I have to get out into the world and let them know what I do, and I have to do it consistently and clearly so people know where and when to find me.  So this is the "off the hook" I am talking about, when things don't work out, or a client cancels, I just go with the flow, don't worry to much about it, always want to give my energy and time to my kids, even at the expense of my business sometimes.  So that is my mission, to keep working on creating a schedule that I utilize my time when the kids are in school to work, even with the baby, make a goal, complete the goal, no excuses.  So when the kids are home they have all of me without guilt or resentment or frustration.

It's all a balancing act, wherever you are in your life, and we all must figure it out for ourselves, everyone is different, there is no one way that works for everyone. The real question is are you figuring it out? Are you aware where you are now?  Do you like it or are you ready to change and grow?  Based on the answers to these questions you will face reality and take action steps.  That is what I am focusing on doing.  Let's get real my friends, share with me your goals and dreams, and we can inspire each other, get ideas, and a light bulb will go off, and we will change our lives forever.  It is with relationships that we truly grow.  I am reaching out, because I need you as much as you need me, the energy exchange is my sustenance.  Email me nutritioncoachyulia@gmail.com or call/text 323.377.0770 and lets brainstorm and explode with brilliant goals, plans, dreams, and put them into action.

I just googled "off the hook" and found another meaning "free of a difficult situation"  (you are no longer responsible for any part of a tough situation) -  relieved of any personal responsibility such as in a court case I suppose - Encarta World Dictionary

Here is yet another one someone suggested and I thought it was cute - if the phone is ringing off the hook, it probably means your popular, which is a good thing.

On that note,
Happy Day of Rest,
Have a Great Weekend,
Shabbat Shalom
