CS Lewis said, "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." A new year is upon us, and it's time for goal setting and dreaming new dreams. So I thought about how I want my life to change and grow and pull me forward in 2017... and I heard the word "Streamline". Oxford dictionary defines it like this- "Make more efficient and effective by employing faster or simpler working methods; free from turbulence." Wouldn't we all like our lives to flow a little freer, and be more effective in our giftings, experiencing less resistance?
The first area of my life that came to mind was my schedule. I, like those of you who own your own business, tend to try to accommodate everyone all the time, because hey, I don't punch a time clock and I want others to think I view them as valuable, right? By not setting boundaries around my schedule. I realized that I was communicating that I, in fact, do not value my own time. Once I convince myself that my time is indeed valued and limited, others in turn will value it as well. I have now set defined hours for my massage and wellness coaching services and at the same time have freed up space in my life for other pursuits and passions. 2017 is going to be a great year-- can you feel it?
Stay tuned for Part 2... Finances :)
