Hi Friend,
Today is my first 'proper' day back to work after the Christmas break.
I don't know about you, but I tend to have mixed feelings about starting up again after a week of pretty much no structure! It can take a little while to get back into gear!
The desire to 'hit the running running', especially with it being a fresh New Year is there, but so is the sluggishness caused by going 'off track' with nutrition and exercise.
That said, I think us humans are pretty adaptable and once we've started being more consistent again, things quickly get easier.
This year for me is about going easy on myself and not being afraid to ask for help.
I can be my worst enemy at times, always wanting to do everything myself, and risking running myself into the ground. I could definitely do with delegating more to others. That said, I do have a growing team of helpers, who I am very grateful for!
This month's teaching tools (part of our monthly membership) talks about taking a gentle approach to the year ahead.
It's less about wanting more, trying to always be the best, comparing ourselves to others and placing unnecessary stress and pressure on ourselves...
It's more about scheduling in some much needed 'downtime', taking our foot off the gas a little, and getting more relaxation into our lives.
As business owners, many of us with families, the pressure to graft, hustle and provide can have a negative effect on us and those around us, and life can risk becoming a chore.
Is that really why we are in this game? Of course not. Life should be about balance and enjoyment.
How about we look after ourselves more and enjoy some well-deserved self-care.
Who's in?!
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2019!
Best wishes
Naomi
