The Importance of Being Idle: Lessons from my unexpected hiatus

03/01/24 • 17 min
What do you do when life laughs at your best-laid plans and forces you to stop?
That's exactly what happened to me in December, with COVID-19 tagging along for an uninvited ravaging of my immune system and house renovations turning my world upside down.
But here's the thing: this unexpected pause was the secret sauce I needed to spice things up again and be ready to welcome you back to the Triple C Project — with a renewed focus and energy — where we're all about finding clarity, confidence, and courage so you can live life Lit!
If you're new here, I'm Ryan Spence, your Human GPS and guide on this journey, and I've returned with a backpack full of insights from my time off the grid (well, away from the pod).
Grab your favourite drink, find your cosiest nook, and join me as we explore how embracing intentional breaks can recharge our spirits and realign us with our deepest values.
Don't call this episode 92 a comeback; it's a renaissance of our shared expedition towards a Lit! life. This isn't about simply picking up where we left off; it's about harnessing the power of reflection and idleness that turned my time away into an enlightening experience.
We'll unravel the importance of stepping back to leap forward, and how a little 'being' instead of constant 'doing' can stoke the embers of creativity and passion.
No guests, just us, ready to reignite the embers of what makes life truly 'Lit'.
So, are you strapped in? Because we're embarking on a quest to our most vibrant selves, and the countdown to the 100th episode has already begun!
