Hello!
Wow, time has slipped away. I have been enjoying the fruits of my labours as the say so today I write with encouragement to those of you who continue to plant a foot forward when you cannot see the road ahead.
You know they say that the difference between winners and losers is that winners are willing to do the things that losers aren't. Harsh, isn't it. It has been my experience that when I am tuned in and tapped into what really matters that everything in my life just falls in place. What this means for me is that when I am working on a goal, specifically work related and it isn't happening as fast or in the order that I would like it to, is the exact time for me to let go.
You see my desire to succeed can lead me into my "self" so much that I become obsessed with achieving my goals. I will push and prod my way forward and be met with every obstacle along the way. When I stop, I realize that in the midst of my self centerdness I lost contact with what matters most...my serenity and peace of mind. Now there many ways people acieve this state but for me it happens when the love relationships in my life are at peace. First with myself, my husband and my children.
Usually by this pint I have neglected my emotional, physical and mental health and I have become detached from my family, possibly even caused an issue which makes me feel guilty so this is where I begin. Sometimes a yoga class, a walk at the dog park with my favorite furry friend or hitting the bags at the gym is all that's needed to start the process of self care once again. Sometimes I may need to take guiltless time to rest and other times I may need to set boundaries or right a conversation. The key for me is to first take the time to journal and ask myself what I need to get back in balance.
When I have taken the time, made the investments and stepped back to see what really matters in my life is when a door will open. It may not have been what I had "planned" but most times it is more perfect than I imagined. So today if you find yourself gritting your teeth and feeling frustrated with where you are in comparison to where you want to be, be where you are and do what matters most and let the rest fall into place.
