Life can move fast – deadlines, routines, kid growing up, digital distractions pulling us in every direction! But there’s something powerful about slowing down and being truly present. Living in the moment doesn’t mean doing less; it means valuing what’s right in front of you.
This week, I’ve made a conscious effort to do just that. After school, I’ve been taking my youngest swimming down at Southsea Beach. It’s become a small but simple routine – just the two of us in the water, laughing and soaking up the summer sun. No screens, just real connection. The bigger picture here isn’t about fitness or filling time – it’s about creating happy father-son memories and appreciating these shared experiences.
In a world that encourages comparison and constant scrolling, it’s important to take a step back. I know that’s not always easy, we all fall into traps – but be kind to yourself! Here’s to a work hard, play hard mindset, but lets not forget to look up and enjoy!
Have a great weekend!
