Less
I have been a little quiet on social for a few reasons; mostly, because I want 2024 to be the year of less.
December was a tough month for my family, we needed more (uninterrupted) time together.
And, I have been trying to figure out how I want to show up in 2024.
In November/beginning of December when I started to plan for 2024 I was ready to go all in, petal to the metal, work all the time, hustle, full calendar (because busy equal productive 😞).
Reality hit in November when I tried to schedule a dinner with friends only to realize I don’t have a free weekend until the end of February. I have weeknights open and a Saturday or Sunday here and there but a full weekend, not for a long time.
For once this did not excite me- it induced stress.
I realized a lot has changed in my life recently- not only my goals and clarity on my purpose but also how I want to feel day to day.
I want to show up because I want to do something, not because I have to.
I began to think, what if in 2024 is the year of less.
Less commitments, less possessions, less stress.
So, in 2024, I am showing up with less.
Less judgement and fewer expectations; but (re)committed to my goals.
Less obligations and fewer yeses; but fully present when I arrive.
Perhaps you also need this- it is okay to start the new year slowly and intentionally.🩷J
