I know what you are thinking.. what is A NO AMBITION ZONE?
A "No Ambition Zone" is an activity that is for only you to enjoy. It helps you overcome living in the fast lane, trying to get to the top of the ladder. You feel strongly about making a contribution to the world making a difference. But you discover it is taking you from being you, and you don't take time to Recharge? At this stage you feel Trapped having to make a family living, to make ends meet.
To be honest, I am trying to find mine right now. Each day things take your life and snatch it away. As someone said recently, " I feel like I am in a spin cycle, spinning out of control." She said, "I feel like I get knocked down, when I get up it is like I am in an ocean, a wave knocks me down again and again." That's exhausting!!!
So what's the answer? I suggest to STOP, STEP BACK and TAKE A DEEP BREATH. Then, think of an activity that you can do for yourself. Find something that will take you away from what is driving you into such a Time-Consuming Zone. After you come to a full stop, you will see what is in the here and now. It will give you a break from your mind spinning, causing an unhealthy habit which will lead to a Danger Zone.
What's something you can do that does not make you think about the thing that is driving you? Yes, its OK to have one. Our son has his own business it has the potential to take on 24 / 7 of his life. He loves it or might I say he might have a "love/hate relationship" with it.
Sometimes this setup can turn into a type of addition. You feel good while making people happy. You get paid for it. Then, you buy stuff that takes your time to take care of and you have to pay for it. It becomes a vicious cycle.
Our son has a "Business Owner Mentor" who recognized he was spinning his wheels and needed to slow down. It was Time to Find his NO AMBITION ZONE...
