Fortunately/unfortunately I have a pretty diverse list of interests. For the last several months, I have expressed a lot of frustration for not being able to find enough time for things that interest me. I understand that I lead a different lifestyle than many. I don't have anyone at home who depends on me which gives me so much flexibility and freedom. My life coach challenged me to approach this year with an "I Come First" mentality which is a completely foreign concept to me. The optimist that I am, I was sure there was no way this was going to work...lol. Granted that as I write this, it is only January 13th, but I have noticed a different shift. To be fair, my schedule has lightened up, and we all know how much I LOVE having time to myself. I'm honestly surprised though that my world is in the best shape that it has been in at least the past year. Previously I resented any adult responsibilities on my to do list, but I am seeing now that when I make time for what makes me happy, the "chores" are barely a blip on the radar. I am also now finding the joy in crossing the task off of the to do list. Logically I understand that our lives are meant to be enjoyed instead of merely accomplishing tasks. It's been a shift for me to actually feel it too. I would encourage you that if you are feeling stuck in the execution of life, please try to make some space to do something that brings you joy. I hope it will be a game changer for you as well! More to come on this experiment <3
