You are a busy person. Life is busy. Work is busy. Your kids make you busy. Your kids make you crazy. You start to believe you really are crazy. Then you wonder why things are so crazy. Oh well, the world is crazy, right? (have you followed U.S. politics lately?)
But I know you and you believe it can be better. It can be different. It is possible to have more peace and calm and flow in your life (at least you hope it is). You wonder how to change it. But you’re not sure where to start.
I have a secret: It starts with YOU!
It starts with you changing your mindset and changing your habits and doing things you’ve never done before. It starts with you being a little uncomfortable in the short-term so that you can be a LOT more comfortable in the long-term. It starts with you believing in yourself and knowing that YOU matter, too.
Because you’re so busy (and so am I!) I’m going to keep this short and to the point. Here are some gentle reminders to quit these mindset habits that no longer serve you (and in some cases, they probably never did). When you release them, you’ll feel just a little less crazy. And busy. And that’s a good thing!
