How’s everyone doing today? Hopefully pretty well 🙂  I’m a little behind on sharing my March in review, but I’m keeping myself accountable for achieving the things I set out to achieve this past January (5 New Year’s resolutions). Here’s my little update.

1. Let it Be – I’ve been adapting to a new work from home schedule which has given me many opportunities to practice “going with the flow”. Somedays there is structure…and others, not so much. That’s kind of the beauty of it.

2. Be More Present – I’m constantly challenging myself to dedicate parts of my day to “me”. Recently that has meant sitting out of the front porch at 3:00 in the afternoon, a mid-day bath, an impromptu walk with the dog, or an unexpected afternoon sweet treat run with a friend. I’m just trying to soak it all in and find a balance.

3. Be Adventurous – ok…so I now know how to ride a motorcycle. I’ve got an entire post dedicated to that, so I’ll save that craziness for later.

4. Follow My Heart & Feed My Soul – Recently my heart has been NEEDING a change of seasons to awaken itself. When the sun shines, I go outside (immediately) and just close my else. Following my heart has continued to leave more in the moment and enjoy the simple things, like thunderstorms in the evenings. I’ve also launched myself full-time into gardening. I’ve been spending quite a lot of time at the community garden and prepping for my summer garden. Feels good to get out in the community and to GROW something.

5. Be More Conscious – This month I’ve spent a lot of time getting organized with my freelance processes and my daily expenses. Just being aware of your records and your processes makes you a more successful person. It also gives you a little more piece of mind.

Did you guys make New Year’s Resolutions. Have you found any road blocks along the way?

Read my January in Review, February in Review

Hi lovely readers. February has flown by, the first half was dragging along and these last two weeks were gone in a blink of an eye.  I’m keeping myself accountable for achieving the things I set out to achieve (5 New Year’s resolutions), so here’s my little update. Did you guys set New Year’s resolutions this year? Have you stuck to them?

1. Let it Be – Welcoming change has continued to really AWESOME. I’d say that quitting my day job to pursue my dreams has been the most welcomed change. So far my days are open to however I’d like to shape them and I’m still trying to figure out my daily balance, but man…change is good.

2. Be More Present – I’ve been really challenging myself to see this “month off” as a really huge gift and to soak it all of my personal discoveries. From talking with many creatives, I’ve got an opportunity given to me that many other creatives would love to have. I don’t take anything for granted. I’ve also been enjoying my morning chai without the distractions of checking my email. That’s been really nice.

3. Be Adventurous – I’m still kind of slacking in the adventuring aspect of my goals and I’m blaming it on the gloomy cold weather. If you consider getting your car stuck in the snow an adventure…then I’ve done that.

4. Follow My Heart & Feed My Soul – I’ve completely handed my future over to the decisions of my heart and letting the decisions of my head follow afterwards. Seems to be a better solution than always listening to my head first. (problems of an over thinker) I’ve continued cooking and this month I’ve learned how to bake some really tasty chocolate bundt cakes and have grown to love eating tomatoes as a snack (another milestone for a non veggie eating chick). Also, the boy and I have our motorcycle lessons scheduled and our helmets/gear bought. Wahoo!

5. Be More Conscious – I’ve been spending a lot of time watching The Food Hospital on TV and am going to start researching eliminating headache triggering foodssuch as chocolate, whole milk, and preservatives. Also, since I’ve left my job, I’ve been trying really hard to be super money conscious until I get my feet on the ground again.
