Several weeks ago, I admitted to you that I was a reforming avoider.

This mainly swirled around the concept of money, but reared it’s ugly head into my relationships, my work, my calendar, + the piles on my desk.

So, here were some of the key areas of major scarcity in my life:

• time management
• systems
• follow through
• guilt-free fun
• sound sleep

Yikes, right?

I’d take on a boatload of obligations, scribble my to-dos down on a post-it, cover the post-it with recipes I wouldn’t get to, promise someone I’d do something, and then go to Target for a cartful of unnecessary goodies – and forget all about everything else.

Until bedtime when I couldn’t sleep.

Don’t get me wrong – my heart was in the right place.  But my mind wasn’t.

Until I started practicing what I preached, I could barely hold my head above water.

Since then, I have made some major shifts in my life – and the fun is just beginning.

I opted-in to an awesome coaching program that holds me accountable to my goals, made my way through a certification course to increase my income, created a program to help bad-ass women entrepreneurs reclaim some of their hard-earned time + freedom, threw a slamming 40th for my sweetheart, started initiating sales conversations, and had a rocking beach day with my twins.

My calendar looks very different now.  It is thought-out + manageable.  It includes revenue-generating activities + lots and lots of fun!

My systems are safe + sound in docs on my DropBox.

And when my girlfriend asked if I wanted to wrangle up the kids mid-Monday morning + steal them away to Seaside Park for a beach day, I barely hesitated.  And by 7pm, when we were cuddled up with our kiddos while we watched the paddleboarders just before sunset, I knew that I had work under control at home.

Because I had left it that way.  And then I slept like a baby.

It didn’t happen overnight – just ask my partner – but it is happening.  And now that it’s in motion…well, you know what they say.
