Personal Development: Gaining Personal Motivation from the Grey Seasons. ~Shawn Jenkins

Shawn Jenkins, Chief Executive Officer at Benefitfocus

November 17, 2015 – The seasons displayed in nature can be a powerful motivational force on our lives. I have developed some habits that are based on the seasons to do just that. The transition from autumn into winter is strangely one of my most motivating times. As someone who loves to spend time thinking about the future, I have developed a system of using the cooler temperatures, changing colors and the coming new year to signal to my inner self that it’s time to get out some blank canvas and dream some new dreams. As a kid my favorite color was blue. Over the years a new favorite color has taken over; I call it marsh-grass green. On a sunny summer day the light seems to shine through the marsh and give the impression that it’s actually emanating from the grass. I am inspired to take photos of the marsh all summer long. As the grass begins to fade and turn to a tired grey-brown, I am tempted to become melancholy. My eyes will not see my favorite color until next year. When I have tried to artificially hold off the changing mood, I have found it frustrating and unsuccessful. What seems to work better is to embrace the change in season, welcome the mild blues for a bit and use it as a time to reflect.
