Sometimes I think we are heading in the right direction and at other times it's very clear that in some areas we are not.
But saying that, even though things can be difficult I think we do know what we need to do and in most cases it's really now a case of picking up all the different threads and beginning again, with the new year.
My word for this year is 'CLEAR'.
Clear can be many things, a clear mind, a clear home, simplifying. Clear goals, a clear direction and it can also be clear boundaries.
I have to admit that there has been a complete over-load this holiday of screens and technology, which has left me feeling a little jarred. So I have begun my new year by clearing down all my old emails and texts and switching things off a bit more, to give my jangly brain a rest now and then!
I realize that there are four main areas in my life that I am working on, and for me they are :-
family/friends
craft/business
self-care/exercise
clearing/simplifying
All of these are important for my piece of mind, I can't simply run off in only one direction, although it's tempting sometimes! so I would like things to be clear and simple.
I may set a few simple goals for each month to keep me moving! and in the name of self-motivation I may let you know!
Lastly, some boundaries, to be clear, for myself, here.
I need to go at my own pace,
I need to come from a place that is my own,
to share when it is appropriate for me to do so.
I need to act from my own motivation, from that place deep inside of yes I can do that.
or no, not now thank you.
Anything else, isn't me,
and my heart won't be with it.
I need to be able to dance to my own tune!
I'm sure you can understand that.
I wish you all good things for 2013!
