Feeling stuck? Try this prompt to reset and refocus for 2025
|
Do you think slowing down means you’re a slacker and lazy, Reader? January can often feel overwhelming. We start with big plans, but post-holiday blues get you down and you lose focus and momentum by February. If that’s how you’re feeling, maybe this prompt will help you regain clarity and focus: What’s 1 thing I can release today? Don’t censor yourself when answering this. Just write down everything that comes up. Handwriting with pen and paper is best, because it allows all your thoughts and feelings to flow more easily, in a stream of consciousness style. This is how you’ll find golden nuggets of insights. With clarity comes confidence. If you’re ready for a reset, click here to book your 30-minute MAP Experience Session. I use MAP to help moms release the overwhelm and stress so they can find relief, gain mental clarity and emotional calmness to focus on what's most important. Click here to book your call. P.S. I 'resorted' to meditation 10 years ago. I say resorted because I used to think meditation was a complete waste of my time. But actually, it helped me feel so much better, to the point that I could take baby steps to improve the state of my time, energy, relationships and money situations. That eventually led me to be a certified MAP coach. I wanted to go in-depth to learn everything about MAP and mastering my mind and emotions. Eventually, I started sharing MAP with other moms to help them let go of overwhelm so they can regain focus. It's been a life-changer. If you want to try it, book a MAP Experience session with me. |

Reader, Work expands to fill the time you give it. That's Parkinson's Law. This past week, I tried giving myself 10 minutes to write my daily LinkedIn post in the mornings. It worked. It might be stressful to some, but it energized me, as I watched the timer counting down while I typed away. 10 minutes isn't a magic number - there's no research behind it. It's just what I could fit into an already early start at 4.30am after my morning routine. So now, my morning routine looks like this...
Reader, It's 9.17pm on Sunday as I'm writing this newsletter that I should have sent by 9am today. And I really didn't feel like doing this when it's almost my bedtime for an early morning start tomorrow at 4.45am. Then I remind myself - this effort is the work that's building my dream. One brick at a time. One email at a time. So here we are! Today's topic is about owning your story. Because your story has value. All the decisions you made, the actions you took, the ups and downs - they all...
Reader, Half of my week has been spent lying in bed, exhausted from what my doctor said was a particularly fierce, mutated flu virus that's been circulating. I hardly ever get sick. Whenever I do, I take it as a sign from the universe to slow down and rest because my default mode is to always be on the go. But it still didn't stop me from recording a podcast episode this week on the topic of showing up consistently! It might be my shortest episode yet (<10 minutes). Having the time to ponder...
