It’s GROW TIME!
You know all those new habits you've wanted to establish?
Those new skills you've been needing to develop?
Those great ways of being you've been meaning to model for your kids?
...Welcome to "Blossom Into Mastery" month!
This is the month where you will pick one worth while skill for yourself to establish it into your life.
You'll pick a skill that is meaningful to you.
You'll rely on your village to help you resource up and get the education you need.
You'll work it into your daily or weekly flow so that time is actually dedicated to it.
...and of course, you'll approach this process with empowerment!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it (accept it!), is to state (out loud, in the mirror, in your pod or to your stuffed animals):
What skill are you going to be working on?
Hint: a good choice of skill is something that helps make your life easier, more efficient, more affordable, or ...simply more enjoyable.
It could relate to running your home well, your work/ business well, or your relationships well. It could be something that expands your mind, your money or "just" your fun and joy. It could be something you're already great at (take it to the next level), something your grandma used to do (continue the family lineage), something you can learn alone or need a mentor for, something that seems frivolous and over-the-top or something simple, earthy and frugal.
BUT WHAT’S A GAL TO DO WHEN OBSTACLES COME UP?
I GOT YOU…
Even with the best intentions and a solid plan in place, achieving our wellness goals can be challenging. Life is often unpredictable and throws unexpected obstacles our way. It’s important to acknowledge these common hurdles so that we can better equip ourselves to overcome them.
Lack of Time:
One of the most common obstacles in maintaining healthy habits is lack of time. In today’s fast-paced world, it can feel like there are not enough hours in the day to fit in all of our responsibilities, let alone self-care practices. Many people struggle to balance work, family obligations, social life, and personal interests while also trying to incorporate exercise and healthy eating into their routine.
Solution:
To combat this obstacle, it's essential to prioritize your wellness goals and make them a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. Start by setting specific and realistic goals that you can achieve within a given time frame. This will help you stay focused on what matters most. You can also try incorporating small pockets of self-care throughout your day, such as taking short breaks for stretching or going for a walk during lunchtime.
Lack of Motivation:
Another common obstacle that many people face when trying to maintain healthy habits is lack of motivation. It’s easy to start off strong but lose steam along the way due to various reasons such as boredom, stress, or feeling overwhelmed with other priorities.
Solution:
The key here is finding ways to stay motivated and accountable. Setting measurable goals can help track progress and provide a sense of accomplishment along the way. Another effective method is finding an accountability partner or joining a support group where you can share experiences and motivate each other.
Unrealistic Expectations:
Sometimes we set ourselves up for failure by having unrealistic expectations about our wellness journey. We may expect quick results or perfection from ourselves, which is not sustainable in the long run.
Solution:
It's crucial to have realistic expectations and understand that progress takes time. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, it's essential to make sustainable lifestyle changes that will have a lasting impact on your overall well-being.
Common obstacles are bound to arise when trying to maintain healthy habits. However, with the right mindset and strategies in place, these challenges can be overcome. Remember to prioritize self-care, stay motivated and accountable, and set realistic expectations for yourself. With consistency and perseverance, you can achieve your wellness goals and lead a healthier life.
So... what's it gonna be?
Time to add some spice to your life.
Some pep to your step.
Some oomf to your parenting.
I’m here, rooting you on!
