Well today is Monday and I promised myself I'd write a blog post every Monday. Over the last couple of weeks I've had great ideas, in my humble opinion, multiple times and told myself to wait till Monday to write them down. 

I'll tell you right now that was a mistake. First, I can't remember what I was thinking. Second, why did I hold myself back? I got so caught up in the rules I set for myself I missed some golden opportunities to share my thoughts with you. Scheduling work is a good thing. I just need to remember it's a guideline I set for myself to be more productive in business and to have a work life balance. It is not a crutch or something to hide behind. 

I'm not sure if it's my beautiful, creative, dyslexic brain or what but I do have a hard time sticking to self imposed deadlines. If it's something for someone else you can count on me. I should stop before this turns into something else. 

I think for me, having a more weekly/monthly goals may work out better for me. I'll try it out and let you know.

Slow living came and went once I was back in my everyday. It fascinates me how quickly we jump back into our old routines. It's hard for me to find that balance of making money, setting goals and checking off my achievements. 

I understand the concept of being present and slow living, really I do. I'm just finding it hard to keep that as my mindset all day every day. I guess I have improved as I'm noticing often that I'm not being present. 

It's a start I know. Just like everything else in my life I want to be perfect at everything I try the first time. Unrealistic I know but a girl can dream. Yes, I'm chuckling at myself right now. They say it's good to have goals though I'm pretty sure this isn't what they meant. (whoever they are)

For now I will do my best to stay in the moment and bring myself back to the present when I start to wander.
