Hello Fall! What are somethings you do around fall? This year I've been working on getting the yard cleaned up and bulbs planted.

What brings you more peace, joy and love of life?  Photo by Simon Maage on Unsplash To have freedom and to feel free is great! I often feel this when I’m driving alone in my car and I’m reminded of freedom around the 4th of July. What are some experiences when you feel free or something that represents freedom for yourself?  Do you know the main reason why many people remain stuck in procrastination patterns? Fear. Yes, I said fear! Have you ever noticed after doing something you had put off, when completed it was much easier to do then ever thought of. Plus it was such a relief to have it done. When fear isn’t faced it becomes controlling but when fear is faced the procrastination dials down and confidence powers up.  Photo by Simon Hurry on Unsplash Want a better life? If yes, consider some simple actions to take towards this, even if they’re tiny. Some suggestions. Reflect on what would improve your life. With this information, what small action can you take this week towards it. Just thinking about actions gets the mind thinking.  Changing the past isn't possible but learning from it is. If a past event comes to mind that you’d wished gone differently. Ask yourself: What could I have done differently. Possibly spoke with a softer voice. Taken a few deep breaths before responding. And if it isn’t a good time say something like hey, we’re here to have some fun, lets table this for now and talk about it at another time. We can’t go back and change things but we can learn from it and handle it differently.

With some inspiration from a dear group of ladies, the word “flow” came up. So I'm visualizing "riding the flow" around any blocks to my 2023 dreams. Choose a word or phrase to inspire and guide you towards your wants this year. Don't let blocks stand in the way, use the word or phrase to connect with your dreams and visualize it guiding you through your best year ever.  Photo by Mark McGregor on Unsplash My hubby was doing jury duty for a few days and I missed him. I had this wave of thankfulness for him being able to work from home at this time. Have you felt a wave of thankfulness for something recently? Feeling thankful brings more joy and appreciation into life.  What will you feel like when you reach your goal or dream? Remember to spend time in this feeling to fuel your passion to experience this dream or goal completed. The Hawaiian Kahuna say, "Where your creative attention flows, so flows your life."  photo by Josh Boot on Unsplash When I've had failures sometimes I turtle at first. Then I tell myself to pull on my big girl pants and look for the next step or direction to take. When You Face A Failure, How Do You Move On?  Photo by Victor on Unsplash Have you ever noticed seeing the areas lacking more than the areas of improvement when doing a task? This has come up for me. Taking the blinders off and broadening the view is helpful. It opens the door to see the growth and great parts done as well as seeing areas to grow in. Seeing a fuller picture is helpful and inspiring.  Notice your inner dialogs. Would you say it to a friend? If the answer's “no” don’t say it to yourself. Speak kindly to yourself and remind yourself of your strengths.   This question got me thinking!
Comment below, I'd love to hear what you'd do For myself, I think work-life balance is different for people. What a good balance for me is going to look different for others. What do you think?  For a single person; what is one value you want a significant other to have and how come? For involved person; what's one value you love in your significant other and how come it stands out? Take some time to unpack this today. Journal, ponder and or talk about it with someone you trust. Understanding ourselves more leads us to more enjoyment.
