Man, if the first month of 2024 wasn’t weird, at least for me. Not only did it go by in a week, but it was also filled with much internal change and shifting. I won’t even get into world happenings. The past couple of years have been the preparation phase for me to truly launch this new life. Between working on my drawing skills to mindset work to a learning from a ton of other resources. It has certainly been a slow build, but the time was necessary. Anyway, I finished Two Weeks Notice by Amy Porterfield and all the tasks right after the new year. (it is a recommended resource in my opinion). Then I moved on to the Best Year Ever by Lisa Jacobs. I had bought this a few months ago but didn’t feel like I was ready to tackle it. But this is my year of action, so I dove in and whoo, if it didn’t help me gain insight into how to think about my business. It is filled with honest helpful info and worksheets that give real results. As I filled out the pages, I built a more refined plan than what I had previously. But as I worked through it, I was also experiencing change/growth in other areas of my life. So, it felt in many ways like I was truly shifting into who I am supposed to be. As the workbook helped me gain more insight into my business, I was also gaining clarity about myself, my spirituality and my children. Not that the book initiated this shifting but I believe I reached a point where ALL my preparation has ended. I have now entered my action phase. I cannot tell you how proud of myself I was when I was sitting down and honestly doing the work of laying out a plan (in INK!), without fear. I was not unsure, uncertain, anxious or fearful. It has taken me my whole life to reach this point. As I approach my 40th birthday at the end of this month, I find myself reflecting on how far I’ve come. It has been wild. But as I take action in the outside world toward this life I was meant to live, I know I am exactly where I need to be. And if Jan 2024/1st week of Feb is any indication, this year is about to be a wild ride, in a positive way in my life (I do not speak for the rest of the world). I look forward to the growth the rest of the year will bring, I believe it only accelerates from here. I also look forward to sharing my progress here and maybe some more insight into exactly how far I’ve come (it’s A LOT).
Take a moment to reflect on how you’ve grown and in what ways. If you feel comfortable, I’d love to hear about it below and cheer you on!
Until next time, give yourself grace, kindness and patience.
