Hitting The Reset Button

It's the first of February and I have pressed the Re-Set button on 2023! YEP! I am starting 2023 over again on Wednesday the 1st of February. Why you ask? Because I can! Oh and because January was a shit show. Between a trip to Florida to see my 97 year old grandmother, celebrating the boys' 17th birthday, hosting multiple house guest, battling a major sinus infection that took me out for a week, and an overall non productive January I have decided I'm just going to start my 2023?TODAY?the 1st of February.

So... What does that mean for me??A LOT!?It means I have given my self permission not to have tried to do the impossible with impossible parameters (a lot of travel and all the crap that I couldn't accomplish while I gone), excessive restarting of my week due to travel (not able to do what I wanted or needed to do.) It also means I get to start my New Year on my terms and when I want. When I work with my clients I tell them that?every month?they are allowed to say HAPPY NEW YEAR! A?New?Year "officially" starts the 1st of January in the US though, a new year can start whenever you hit the?restart start button?in your life. It really doesn't matter what day or time it is for your to say "I'm Ready For Something NEW!"

There is a lot of new going on with me. My calendar is filling with clients, my boys started college tours, as a single mom of pre-college twins my schedule with the boys is about to change and on and on and on. Rather than fighting the change I have embraced it and have?ebb and flowed?with it. I am finding the time to work out?when I can, meal plan better so I eat better, read when I can.

Which brings me to my confession... I set a goal to read 1 book a month.?Well.....?It didn't happen in January. And I am ok with that. So now I am setting the reset button on that goal too. It bugged the shit out of me that I wasn't able to reach that goal last month. And as I reflected with friends why I couldn't well... I physically didn't have the time, energy or as I say the two fu*** to do it. There was more on my plate that I was able to eat and I just threw it away. Hence starting 2023 today on February 1st!

It is 8:30pm on January 31st and I am writing this newsletter. Why you ask? Because it's been in my head for 6 days and thanks to my good friend, accountability partner, swift kick in my butt business buddy I am writing it and getting it out. I'll celebrate this goal and other small wins all month and year long.

Happy (personal) New Year everyone! I give you permission to hit the Re-Set button.

Muah....
