Happy March, Beautiful People! The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and overall I am just feeling a lot happier. While February is a shorter month, it also went by quicker than I feel like I could breathe. Curious to see what I was up to in February? Keep reading
Celebrating My Birthday
Last month was my birthday month! I celebrated a little bit differently this year than I have in previous years, however, I had so much fun! One of my favorite things about my birthday is that it is just an amazing reminder to myself about how loved I am. Just to be surrounded by friends and family who all want to celebrate me just brings me so much joy and fulfillment. It is not something that I take for-granted and I look forward to many many more years of celebrating with these people again.
Because my birthday is in the beginning of the year, I always look at my birthday as my true “new year”. One of the things that I really want to focus on this year is just authentic and radical self-love. While I do think that I take care of myself really well physically and emotionally, I could use some improvement in how I take care of myself mentally. I’m such a big over-thinker and while that can be beneficial in some ways, I have seen how harmful it can be in a lot of other ways too. It’s caused me to not produce certain things, procrastinate a lot, and just negative thoughts that have no business being in my mind in the first place. This year, I want to focus on believing bigger, doing more, really stepping into my own power.
Lesson Learned: Stop Waiting for Life To Get Easier
In the craziness of travel and celebrating my birthday, I also got sick. Thankfully, it wasn’t anything serious, however, it did cause me to take a much needed rest and to slow down. When I finally ramped back up, there was still so many different things happening which allowed me to shine in some areas but there were a lot of things that I wasn’t able to get done as well. Every week I was looking for the moment where things would finally slow down, but the reality is is that it never did.
In doing some reflection as well as chatting with friends, I realized that life is never going to slow down. Waiting for that moment where all of the things are going to fall into place and everything is going to align perfectly is never going to happen. Rather than waiting for that moment, I’m going to focus on doing a little bit each day to make progress towards my goals. To me that means instead of trying to batch everything, I might only be able to work on a little bit at a time each day. It almost feels anti-productivity but the reality of it is, I may only have 15-30 mins instead of the 1-2 hours that I would prefer to give myself. Going forward, I’m going to embrace these small pockets of time and use them to my advantage, because progress is progress, no matter how small it may seem.
Closing
March is in full swing and I am not going to let my goals pass me by this month. I can’t wait to share next month how I make progress towards my goals and some exciting things that are on the horizon. How are you making progress towards your goals this year? Need some help?
