It’s a new year and a natural time for a reboot on my life. There’s nothing magical about New Year’s Day but it does feel like the world expects–and sometimes demands–a reckoning on this day.
So might as well take advantage of this break in the action to rearrange my metaphorical plants and find the right microclimates in my life.
I started off by sorting out my hosting and domain registration which I transferred a few months ago. My host was helpful and it was a short process to get up and running again. Whew! I love when I can check something off my list and there is no cursing involved.
Last week I read You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. (I liked it so much that I bought the page a day calendar for daily inspiration.) It’s the first book in the mini book club that I started with my husband. I need to be a better book club member–he finished it way before I did. There were many things I liked about the book but my three major takeaways are:
- Love yourself
- Read Loving What Is by Byron Katie
- Sometimes you need to hire people to help you
I have always had mixed feelings about the “love yourself” advice but not anymore. It is as if a switch was thrown in my brain and I finally understand. Loving yourself is exactly like the oxygen masks on an airplane. You have to put your own on before assisting others. There is no other way.
I hope that you will look in the mirror today and love what you see. What you are is perfect right now. The universe has delivered you and me to this point in time and who are we to argue with the universe. All is as it should be.
