Can we all agree that starting a new day or a fresh year is like staring at a blank page, wondering what masterpiece we’re about to create? I get it! Some days, I’m all sunshine and rainbows, excited about conquering the world. Other days, let’s just say I’m in a committed relationship with my bed covers, hiding from the chaos.
I’m no stranger to the ebb and flow of motivation. In fact, I’m the kind of person who despises routine but secretly relies on it to keep my head’s resident monkeys in check. Trust me; they’re not fans of organised ducks. It’s like a daily juggling act, trying to corral my thoughts while navigating the delicate dance of planning ahead.
Being a go-getter doesn’t mean I don’t give myself a break from time to time. Life’s too short for perpetual productivity, am I right? But here’s the thing – the routine might be a necessary evil, helping me focus and keeping those unruly mental farm animals at bay.
Self-doubt, procrastination, and the occasional ADD moment are my unwelcome companions. Yet, over my 51 years on this crazy planet, I’ve amassed a toolkit of skills through self-reflection and development. It wasn’t an overnight transformation, more like a work in progress with plenty of learn-as-you-go moments.
January, for me, is not just about setting resolutions; it’s a grand reflection on the past year. It’s like an annual review of my life goals, tweaking and questioning them to align with the new adventures ahead. And let me tell you, I don’t reserve goal setting for January alone; it’s a year-round affair.
Now, maintaining the delicate balance between goals, actions, and life’s distractions is a tricky dance. Picture this: building a company while also contemplating the paint colour for house painting, worrying about yesterday’s conversations, craving coffee, and suddenly remembering that art project you’ve been putting off. Welcome to the circus inside my head!
So, how do I keep it together? I’m no superhero; I just refuse to give up and often return to the basics. Amidst the chaos of building a life, I make time for the things that bring me joy and recharge my batteries. But, and it’s a big but, I need to be wary of distractions. It’s like walking a tightrope – company-building, house-painting, coffee-sipping, and art-projecting, all while keeping my mental circus under control.
Yes, setting intentions for the year is crucial, but let’s face it – life is messy, and I’ve got a mental circus to contend with. It’s an ongoing journey of self-awareness, self-regulation, and the occasional “hard talk” to snap out of the distractions. Is it hard work? Absolutely. Is it worth it? Without a doubt.
So, here’s to embracing the chaos, navigating the circus, and enjoying the wild ride that is life! Cheers to being human, quirks and all!
