Head's Up - It's the End of an Era

Head's Up - It's the End of an EraHello - whoa - 2020 is knocking on our door! You know how it is when there's a moment that just "hits" you? There is something in that instance that brings about some kind of out-of-body surrealism, a big wakeup moment. Well, here's a head's up, there's one of those moments headed your way.

65 days.

65 days left of 2019.

65 days left in the current DECADE. How about this milestone for a reality check?

This past decade of your life undoubtedly brought you many things - hopefully abundantly positive with just a few of the "bound-to-happen" low points. Maybe the previous 10 years added a child, a sweetheart, perhaps a new job with a better office chair, and I'm sure you most definitely improved your fashion sense and hairstyle.

And loss. Well, it's hard. And it hurts. But it is a part of this grand thing we're in called life. I hope in it, you also found growth and peace. Regardless of this past decade, it will soon be behind us and onward and upward we go.

But first, let's take some time and reflect before we get too carried away. Use these next 65 days to think about the person you were in these last 5+5 years...do you want to continue being that person? Reflect on how you handled relationships, perhaps the role model you were to your kids or others you care about. If you left this blessed life behind today, would grandma be smiling at you as you entered those pearly gates, or would she give you the stink eye, because you know why? Would you have any regrets?

So NOW is the chance to lay the foundation for the next decade of your life. YOU set the tone, YOU write the next chapter, YOU are in charge, and with some planning, foresight, and determination, these next 10 years can be the best you've ever had! Think about it. You'll have 3,650 days, 3,650 chances to move step by step towards the goals and dreams you have (but it is actually way more than that - hello, each choice you make every day can take you closer to, or away from, your goals!).

So what ARE your goals? Think long-term and work backwards. What is the vision you have for where you'll be in family, profession, and um personal life? (HINT: START with personal life and everything else will magically fall into place). Be specific with your goals - make them SMART and provide the who, what, where, when, why, and how as much as you can. THEN you break these goals down into small realistic steps you can take to get where you want to be. Know your deadlines, set your deadlines. Be accountable to your goals. Be accountable to yourself. Your future self depends on it.

The 65 days start NOW to plan for your new life as we come to the end of an era, and we start the era of you - don't let it pass you by. Stay tuned for more ideas from me as I keep working towards helping women and moms find clarity, balance, determination, and direction as they move Back 2 You.
