September
Three non negotiable’s and a seasonal shake up!
Sometimes, I’m so thankful for this little platform. Yes, its a place to grow my business, to inspire others to follow their dreams and realise that they CAN achieve what they want from their business, they CAN make all of their aspirations come true, they CAN earn an income online and from the comfort of their safe space and they CAN be exactly where they want to be. That, for the most part, is why I’m here. But, every once in a while I use this place as a soundboard, a community who will listen, who don’t judge and who have always accepted me, exactly as I am.
It’s September, the perfect time for change. I actually think that September, more so than New Year is a time where things come to a head, you’ve spent the whole year complacent, achieving little milestones here and there but for the most part, its September and you think ‘oh hell there’s only three months to the end of the year and I’ve not achieved what I wanted to’ or ‘what am i doing with my life, I need to change things up!’
Right now I feel like I need a shake up, I feel like I’m living in a dream, like it’s not really my life. Like I’m floating, but also missing everything as I pass it by. Have you listened to Storms by Fleetwood Mac? If you put that on and close your eyes, thats how I feel. Wrapped in magic but unsure of which direction I’m going. All those little moments that I usually cherish seem to be a little blurred and quiet. September always grabs me by the arms and gives me a hard shake, but because it’s filled with golden leaves, warm light, cool air and unfiltered magic, I seem to take it a lot better.
So, if you’re anything like me and you’re floating on that cloud to nowhere, make a change! Kick yourself into action and get some goals in place! Short term goals are always more achievable.
For me, during September I have set three non negotiable’s each day.
Do twenty minutes of vigorous exercise every day
Note down two things that have played on my mind at the end of each day. (This activity helps me not to make erratic decisions which is something i struggle alot with, at the end of September I will review my notes and act upon the things that reoccur)
Drink water and really focus on my nutrition! (One thing that works for me here is the mindset of ‘in ten minutes will I regret eating that’ it really works for me!)
Jump on board and set yourself three non negotiable’s for September. This can be applied to your personal life or your business! Or both!
If your personal life is flying and your shake up is business related then take advantage of the next few months, most people are in good spirits and have a little more disposable money. Monetise your talent! There has never been a better time to start something new you know. I’m taking on new clients for start up business coaching so drop me a DM if you need a warm hug and a push in the right direction. (Even if you don’t need coaching you can DM me for a warm hug and a push in the right direction!)
I love your 3 non-negotiables! I especially like the one about not acting on things but writing things down and revisiting later. That’s a great one!
I’ve been having the phrase “do less, well” swimming around my mind and I want to honour that as best I can. I’m sort of seeing it like Coco Chanel’s fashion advice of removing one accessory/garment before leaving the house. I want to remove at least one “to do” from my daily list of “to dos” before I even get out of bed!
I also want to commit to 5 mins of meditation/savasana every day.
I need to add drink more water to my list too! What kind of exercise do you like to do?
