A fresh start

It’s so easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. We think we’re being productive because we’re doing so much. But in reality, we’re run off our feet without much to show for it.

Today is the beginning of a new month and I’m going to remind myself to stop, breathe, and slow down. I’m not so busy that I need to skip meals or lose sleep in order to get things done.

I’m going to live more intentionally, putting more thought into how I spend my time, who I connect with, and the things I fill my mind with. I’m planning on decluttering and organizing my place and selling or donating things I no longer use. I will mark time in my planner for quiet time, to sit and meditate and unwind, especially after a busy day. I will schedule in self-care so I’m not running myself ragged.

Things are likely going to amp up as I plan my next trip. So I need to keep things under control so I don’t get overwhelmed. I just found out my dream trip to the Philippines and Japan will be happening later this year. It feels like a dream. So if any of you have been there before and have tips or ideas, please let me know. I’ll be traveling with friends but am open to suggestions!

What does your June look like?
