One month into the new year already! How are things going? Are you keeping your resolutions? This year I didn't make resolutions instead I had a "themes" of Simplify and also to Be Deliberate. So I thought I would do a check-in on how that is going.
Simplify has been quite easy. After months of being over-busy, I was ready to downsize my schedule. I started making a daily to-do list (cause I like to check off items) to help get the most important things done. One surprise is that you can do only the things on your to-do list and still be tired. I thought that doing only what is important would exempt me from that. Magically thinking- I know. Some days are still busy, but at least I know I am working on priority stuff.
Be Deliberate has been a game changer in my stress level. Instead of worrying and worrying I think about what I have control over, make the best decision I can and then stop worrying about it. For example, I wanted to register for an online class but needed a special permission code from the instructor. I called. I emailed. No response. So I let it go and just accepted that it was not meant to be. Basically, I do whatever is in my control to change or affect my fate and I let the universe take care of the rest.
Themes have been incredible effective at keeping me on track and bringing peace into my life. Sorry if this sounds a little new age, but it really works. I hope 2014 is treating you well so far. How are you resolutions going?
