Reading Time: 2 minutesYou know my story. I used to hustle. And then, I decided there’s a different life out there that looked more fun.
I woke up this morning and after watching the sunrise I did a quick inventory of the past 5 years of my life. Turns out I lost and found a few things along the way.
Here there are:
LOST
FOUND
- The belief that Success = Money
- Thinking that my work equals my worth
- Being glued to a screen
- Social media addiction
- Daily distractions resulting in working more and accomplishing less
- Endless mental chatter
- Ego driven mindset
- Saying yes to everything and everybody that pushed my business further
- Always “Doing” because society says so
- Stomach pains, hospital visits, and broken relationships
- Finding momentary satisfaction through shopping
- Working evenings and weekends
- Fear of what others are doing
- Getting lost in a sea of competition
- Hustle
- Courage to design a life based on my values
- Defined my worth outside of work
- Experienced the feeling of freedom and connection with nature when out in the ocean kitesurfing
- The joy of being unplugged and taking time each morning to do yoga, meditate, write
- Intention and flow resulting in being able to do less, and make more
- Consistent mindfulness practice
- Commitment to doing what feels right in my gut and not my head
- Saying no to everything that doesn’t align with my values or purpose
- The art of being and slowing down
- Being present with my husband, practicing gratitude daily, creating a community, and listening to what my body needs
- Contentment from living a simple life
- Being present for my family on evenings and weekends and living in paradise
- Slowing down and watching the sunrise over the Sea of Cortez from our bedroom window
