Good Morning my friends. Happy Monday. Yep, today most of us return to our old schedules and hopefully you are feeling well rested and ready to take on the day.
Be gentle with yourself today. Taking regular breaks can help with slowly easing back to work and kids school. There really is no point stressing to much about facing the day and remember to just take it one hour at a time. As I said in my last post, by this time next week, you will be more or less back into the swing of things and the winter break will feel long gone.
It is exciting to start the year. Think about all the fun you want to have this year, the goals to accomplish, the new memories to make. There is so much to look forward to. A whole year and we are just getting started. Just as it feels exciting to start something new like a new job, moving to a new state, getting married, falling in love for the first time, becoming a parent for the first time, starting your new business etc, its new.
Likewise the feeling of starting the new year should feel that way, especially after the type of year we had in 2020. When you feel overwhelmed, think about how you felt in the past years when it was the new year. So many amazing things are awaiting for you. I certainly feel this way.
Personally, I am looking forward to learning new things and hopefully getting into a new job. Actually, its all new all the time anyways. Tomorrow will be new day, then a new month. We are constantly in a new moment even though it may still feel like the old but it is a new minute every time.
Friends, its time for us to tune up. Just like we take our car to the workshop for a tune up like when you see a light pop up on the dashboard, or your hear unusual sounds or vibrations, you take it in for a check.
Have you ever felt that maybe its time to get tuned in to yourself to see what areas in your life need a tune up? We have just ended a year that was filled with one of the most difficult and painful time of our lives and non of us are out of the dark times yet. Till we get the vaccine, we are all living by the edge.
But maybe now is a good time to really reflect what areas in your life are not vibrating well or ringing really loud sounds within you and what can you do to start looking into it and seeing what need fix or get rid of to remove the light on your life dashboard. What's blinking non stop trying to get your attention?
For me, its definitely my skills. For a very long time now (maybe over 3 months), I have been thinking about signing up for an online course that I hope will add to resume skills and help within my current position or move on to a better one. I mean this thing has been on my mind literally screaming at me to sign up and I have not done it. I have looked into it and researched about it, even got close to signing up but never did officially sign up.
So just like my car, if I don't pay attention to that light or the sounds, one day my car might just not start and then I will have a bigger issue and expense on my hand. But what if I paid attention to the light or sound and immediately took it for a tune up. There's a good chance, my car will not only run better but longer.
Just like that, my skills need a tune up. As I think about logging on for work in 13 mins, I am thinking about what skills can I be adding to my resume. There are a lot of other areas in my life that also need a tune up, but one step at a time. The online course is something that will be not only manageable but doable as I think about the day ahead or days ahead of me.
What about you my friends? Any one thing you can think of that will help with tuning up your life? Maybe start with writing one thing down and journaling about it. What would you like to do about it in the near future?
May you be at peace and happy from my heart to yours.
Peace,
Monita
