Well, here is another post about getting out of a rut. It has been on my mind a lot lately. While I feel I have made vast improvements in my life over the past year or two, I seem to get this feeling that I am running in neutral.
After having run a business for the past twelve years, I find my new life both relaxing and scary at the same time. It is relaxing because I am actually enjoying the work I am doing. It is scary because I still have an entrepreneurial spirit. At the moment, I have many side projects started with the goal of improving the lives of my daughters (and myself).. With that said, I am constantly working on a number of projects to accomplish many different goals. Many of the projects are very large, and I have been breaking them down into increments so that I can feel like I am accomplishing something. Unfortunately, finishing an increment, hasn't helped me to feel like I am accomplishing anything. Work wise, I am accomplishing a lot. School wise for the girls, I also feel like I am making progress...with both girls really. Maddie is responding well to my new schedule, and she is asking intelligent questions about the work I am assigning. Meanwhile, Ashleigh is doing well with numbers and recognizes more and more words each week as she progresses with her reading abilities. She loves writing on this blog because it makes her feel like a big girl like her sister. So back to my premise, How am I getting out of neutral? Well, I am going to follow some advice from a Nike ad..."Just do it!" That's it. Just do it. If you got a long list of stuff you want to do, then prioritize it (however you wish) and then just start at the beginning and incrementally knock stuff off. This weekend, I am going to attack a lot of small goals that have been piling up. Not because I think that they will magically make me feel happier, but because at a minimum it will make my list a little smaller and get me closer to completing some of my larger goals as well! Want to get out of Neutral...then step on the gas and get stuff done!
