We’re at the end of the year and the clock keeps ticking. October left like it had somewhere to be. November had some fun stuff loaded in it, and the calendar isn’t showing signs of slowing down. 

Does that leave you feeling like you need to catch up?
Are you falling behind?

Be careful because those are mind traps!

That sense of needing to catch up is about being in lack. You’re saying to yourself that you don’t having enough. You might be extrapolating and telling yourself the lies that since you didn’t do enough, you aren’t enough. 

First of all, you’re here. You ARE enough. And second, you’re here and you certainly did enough. 

Is there more to do? Sure! Of course! And that doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re ambitious. 

The remedy to feeling behind is to start from where you are. Start from where you are now, in your current state. 

You’re not behind. You are where you are.

What are the real priorities in your life right now? The real ones, not the ones you put on a list because you were “supposed to.” What do you want for yourself in the coming weeks, months, or year? Where will that show up on your calendar?

Now, about those “supposed-to” items, do they need to be on your list or on your calendar? Or did you carry them over to please someone else? Certainly, if there’s a function of your job or some legal requirement, then you might be “pleasing” someone else. Those items are on the list so you can avoid the pain associated with not doing them. Get them on your calendar in bite size chunks. 

The point to all of this is twofold: 1) you’re not behind, you are where you are. And 2) Start. Stay in control of your calendar and choose where those items go. 

Let your creative spirit out. Keep making your magic. And enjoy the path to Your Next Big Next!

See you here next week!
