I’ve decided to shift this - still on mindset but more of journal styled entries regarding my personal struggles, obstacles, & how I work to overcome them (mainly in the present).
Here's the first prompt -
“You’re not the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or a week ago. You’re always growing. Experiences don’t stop. That’s life. And the very experiences that seem so hard when you’re going through them are the ones you’ll look back on with gratitude for how far you’ve come.”
So as I answer these:
What’s the hardest thing you’re trying to achieve or cope with right now?
What is something small and necessary about this struggle?
JOIN ME & get your own answers.
The hardest thing I am trying to achieve right now… is trying to find time for it all.
I am someone who doesn’t like to use the phrase “I don’t have the time”…
So I refuse to say that - I am working on shifting around my schedule & listening to Arnold schwarzenegger “sleep a little faster”.
Today I got up 15 minutes earlier and it was a GAME CHANGER - I got so much more done, BUT if I sit down for 5 minutes I am capable of knocking out... I will figure out my timing.
I do feel overwhelmed because I want to do so much & reach so many people in the span of my 1hr "break" that my brain actually gets stuck - it goes WAY too fast & I don’t know where to start - so I fall into a cycle.. && that's where my feeling of being overwhelmed comes in.
Between being a stay at home mom, taking the kids to swimming lessons, cooking, cleaning, laundry, working, working out, taking care of myself & the family, getting involved with some hobbies again, and everything in between… I feel like I need a pause, which I AM SURE A LOT OF YOU FEEL THAT WAY!
This "struggle" right now... does not feel small at all... it feels HUGE.
However, I know that it is only temporary, as life goes on I know that more opportunities to have more "time" will open up - even if they get filled with OTHER things. I know that my daughters will eventually start up with school. I know that although it's taking me 3x as long to do something that I will eventually finish it all.
I am aware of that & I know that accepting this struggle is necessary for me to understand the continued need for balance & the feeling of being overwhelmed as I grow as a coach because I am not the only parent who feels like this.
So to those that shoot me the "I don't have time" - I feel you, I hear you, I understand you.
Stay consistent - Stay disciplined

REMINDER:
Go prioritize yourself:
Your physical health matters.
Your mental health matters.
Your emotional health matters.
YOU MATTER.
