Just be careful about losing that momentum once it's started. I used to be a sucker for losing momentum because I thought it will last forever, but we won't - and I have to live like every day is my last, and say yes yes yes to whatever makes me feel alive - to adventures, to travels, to friends, to shiny new business ideas.
After meditating on my priorities, that changed.
Not everyone will agree with me, but I really believe in being strict and protecting your energy, especially once you have that focus.
I have a strong ADHD, so it's very easy for me to get distracted.
So when I am in a week of amazing creativity and flow, this is my precious time. This is when I am saying a lot of NOs. No to people, no to parties, no to things that I know are going to distract me. Even tho they are fun - these things are just not going to move me forward that much. I disappear and take advantage of that precious powerful energy, and increase my momentum.
This year I said no to Burning Man but I really wanted to go.
Last year had a very strong effect on me, and it was challenging to get back to my routine.
Now I put my business above fun. It's a matter of priorities. and I'm so proud of making the right choices when I look back.
Though it may take some effort to start, as you keep moving forward, it will gradually become easier to sustain.
Decision by decision.
What's a small decision I can make today that will take me one step closer to where I want to be?
