TGIF


Before we dive in, Happy New Year! I hope that wherever you are you enjoyed a holiday season that was everything you needed it to be. I hope you rested, spent time with the people you love most, took time just for you, ate all your favourite foods, and managed to maintain a state as close to homeostasis as possible.

I don’t know exactly what this space is going to look like in 2020 but we’re about to find out! Starting us off is the first TGIF post of the year!

Best part of the week: My new bedtime routine has been the best part of my week every single night. I’ve been shutting down all tech by about 9, getting all ready for bed, then tucking in with a book, my journal and my new favourite thing, my Homebound tarot deck. I journal, I think, I read, I ask a question, then I go to sleep. My mind doesn’t fly around because I’ve gotten most of my thoughts out, I come up with game plans for the next day so I don’t have a running mental list of things to do tomorrow, and I get a to spend some time connecting with me and universe. It’s just the greatest.

Worst part of the week: Waking up to snow this morning…

Something I’m grateful for: A super temporary part time job doing work completely unrelated to my trade. No screens, very little thinking required, super short term, exactly what I need.

Something I’m excited for: Not much at the moment. Last time there were loads so I know this kind of thing ebbs and flows. But right now, if I’m being honest, I do not have much to look forward to. 

91. What habits/programming/limiting beliefs are holding you back from living the life you want? (I paraphrased this question because I didn’t like the way it was originally worded)

“I have dues to pay” is the mindset holding me back the most. 

I’m finding it hard to sink into entrepreneurial life because I feel like I’m supposed to be struggling the “standard” way: working at a job that I hate and learning from a wise boss and some colleagues before I’m “allowed” to take everything I’ve learned and become a successful entrepreneur. 

That’s how I saw it happen. That’s how a lot of people do it. But it’s not how I want to do it. 

I would love to know what’s holding you back. And I reallllly encourage you to think about it for a minute. When I did the random number generator for this weeks question and landed on this one I almost regenerated because I was like, ok enough, every wellness account on the ‘gram has posed this question. And every single time I’ve seen it I’ve scrolled past thinking yeah yeah I’ll get to that one later. Well right now was my later. And if you haven’t given yourself a chance to check in with what habits, programming or limiting belief(s) are holding you back from living the life you want, here’s another opportunity. I really think you should take it.

Until the next time!
