These were the simple questions I asked myself the last month.
Have you ever made a list of things that bring you joy? Things that you enjoy doing? Things that you hate doing? What you want your day to look like? A week? A year? Your life? What is one or two feelings you want to have and others that you want to avoid? What are your priorities? What do you want to accomplish this year? How do you want to feel? How do you want to show up for others? What do you worry about the most? Who do you want to be?
The next step after answering these questions is to figure out solutions or action steps that can apply to "real life". Practical, calm, slow and steady steps forward. Not freak out, I'll never be able to do this, this can never happen, one million excuses answers but tons of grace, and experimentation and willingness to find a way.
