Are you an achiever or an overachiever? I get it… I love writing down a goal + chasing after it to make it happen. Some of those goals are fairly easy to achieve, like my goal of reading 10 pages a day. It’s not a huge goal, but I love being able to look at my reading log and seeing the pages I’ve read so far, knowing that I’m on my way to my reading goal. However, some goals are a lot harder, and much more out of your control.

One of my favorite feelings in the world is turning the page to a brand new, crisp, blank page in my planner to start planning for the next month. You might not feel that way. Maybe planning for the month ahead has you feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You look at your calendar and there’s just SO much to do that you simply don’t know how you’re going to be able to fit it all in. There are A LOT of months in my life that feel like that. Like there’s no downtime. No margin.

We all do it… Someone asks us how we are doing, and our immediate response? “Good. Busy. But, good.” Y’all… we wear BUSY like it’s a badge of honor. Like, if we’re not busy, what are we actually doing with our lives?! Believe me, I am 100% guilty of this as well. I hate being bored, so I find reasons to be busy - to the point where I get completely overwhelmed and then this wave of depression takes over me. It’s a vicious cycle…

I’ll be honest with you… Boundaries can be REALLY hard for me. Of course, my biz bestie and clients might say otherwise, but there’s something they don’t know about the boundaries I set for myself… There is a fine line between boundaries and avoidance. As an Enneagram 9, I like to “keep the peace.” So, when things start to blow up in my face, or I start to get overwhelmed, or I feel some sort of conflict coming up, I will put up a GIANT wall.

As we are heading into the last month of the year, you are probably being inundated with posts and emails all about how to set goals for the new year. Well, surprise… here’s yet another one of those posts. But, there’s ONE THING I need you to know about your New Year’s goals + resolutions… They don’t matter. Now, hear me out… I’m not saying that you shouldn’t have goals to shoot for in the New Year. But, it’s not actually your goals that matter…

When I first started my business, I had one goal… To get my time back. At the time, I was working 40+ hours a week as a Physical Education + Health teacher, I was coaching (which added an extra 10+ hours per week to my schedule), and I had an hour round trip commute every day. I was burning the candle at both ends already, so why would I decide to add a business on top of that?! Well, friend… because it was something that I desperately wanted.

I like to think that I have it all together all the time, but in reality, there are A LOT of mornings when I lose my crap on my kids. And it’s totally not their fault.
