What if we could hold onto some of the best aspects of vacation all year long? After our trip to Maui, I noticed some changes in myself that I wanted to bring into my every day… and here are the six things that I came up with. I don’t do them nearly enough… so this is as much a reminder/accountability for me as it might be something new to ponder for you!

I have tried so many different goal-setting processes over the years, the combination of my achiever/perfectionist tendencies, big life vision and solid work ethic can really get me in the weeds sometimes. I end up feeling frustrated that it’s not happening fast enough, feeling burnt out because I took on too much or because I have an all-or-nothing attitude, and feeling like I am in scarcity-mode because I’m focused on the end result and NOT on enjoying the process and the growth.

Then, I end up doubting myself, my systems and my choices. Has this ever happened to you?

I have tried some new things in the past few months and I’d love to share about them with you….

We’ve all heard the phrase, “stress kills” so much that it probably feels like a cliche. But as we’re coming up on two years of a “new normal” that has short-circuited many of our old ways of doing things and rewired our priorities, I don’t want to skip over the part where our nervous systems, our brains, have been under immense pressure and overloaded with demands.
