How I became a planner mixed with spontaneous, which makes no sense, I know! How I created my life to line up with my capacity. How boundaries saved me, physically, mentally, and emotionally (eventually.)
PAST SELF: An extreme planner, like everything was planned out, maxed to capacity (and beyond,) stressed everyday, and simply surviving (if you can call it that.) I was working a full time job (outside the home,) homeschooling my kids, and attempting to live up to everyone's expectations.
See I was also a people pleaser and perfectionist (that was failing miserably.) With so many things going on, I was drowning. Something had to give and it had to happen NOW before I lost my shit...again!
PRESENT SELF: A flexible planner, not maxed to capacity (most times, I'm not perfect,) with room for self-care, and intentional family time. See I'm not only surviving, I'm thriving - AND I'm not done upleveling it! (psssst - I'm here to support you with this desire)
I make every decision with these 2 questions in mind now:
1. Does this serve myself and/or my family?
2. Do I have the capacity for this? (energy, time, mentally, etc)
I've worked on my mindset in all areas, opened my mind to all the possibilities, and really felt into what the hell I truly desired from life. I started working through my trauma (OMG, that's some hard shit.)
What did I truly desire? Well I didn't have the answer for a very long time, because I didn't know who the hell I was. As I started feeling the feelings, as I started giving myself grace, as I started prioritizing myself - I freaked out. My nervous system didn't know what to do, it was panicking.
Throw in an ADHD diagnosis and things got even more interesting. Things started making sense however. Why things were harder for me, why I felt like I had to have everything planned out, why my energy and focus felt ALL over the place. What I realized is that I had been masking all my life to survive. This was one of the pivotal moments in my adult life.
To wrap this up, my past self, unknowingly, was desiring freedom, answers, fun, and it dug itself out with a lot of hard work, one bite sized step at a time.
- Transforming my mindset
- Working through the trauma
- Creating systems that work with my brain
- Giving myself grace
- Slowing down - not always being busy
- Learning to say "no" when things didn't align
- Implementing boundaries with myself and others
- Creating a flexible schedule that feels good
- Having an open mind
- Surrounding myself with like minded humans
This is a recap of years, just a few snippets of my thoughts and feelings. There are so many ways to get to your desires (which in itself is overwhelming,) and you get to pick which path you'd like to go down based on so many different factors in your life and business.
I'm here to support you as you go on this journey. From feeling in alignment with your desires, to creating a schedule and space that feels good, and creating a plan and systems that work with your brain so you can move forward with the least amount of resistance!
You have to start and starting with one bite sized action step is how you do it, then the next one and so on. Get the accountability you need to take the action you desire and chase after your dreams!
