Finding a balance between life and work can be tricky. The scale often leans more towards work and we are left with very little energy for ourselves and our loved ones. I have spent the last month soaking up the magic of this life and actually got MARRIED!!
Now, as I officially begin my work year, I have two main objectives:
1) Finish what I started
2) Let go of what isn't working
We tend to overwhelm ourselves with what needs to be done, writing to-do lists that never get done, putting too much on ourselves because we want to 'be better', or 'get it done faster'.
The truth is, we only have 24 hours in a day. Within those 24 hours, approximately 8-10 hours are dedicated to 'the grind'. I currently have three on-going projects, and sometimes fitting them all into one day only has me scratching the surface of each. So where to start?
I'm starting this year off by reflecting on how my last year went, and creating a clear intention for what I would like this year to look like. Setting up weekly, monthly, and quarterly goals so that I do not overwhelm myself by trying to have it all done at once.
We work so that we can enjoy our life, this is just a gentle reminder that what you do becomes a large part of your life. Just don't ever let it take over.
Wishing you all a year of success, opportunity, and abundance!!
How are you starting your year?
