Take a break

I’m TIRED. It’s been an exhausting year.

I’ve also been having a hard time motivating lately. My blogs are getting harder to write, I keep comparing myself to what other life coaches are doing, and I end up not writing anything at all.

It looks like this:

◾ “She sends an email twice a week, I’m such a slacker”

◾ “Look how polished that blog post is, I’ll never measure up”

◾ “What a great idea, I should just give up now”

Comparing myself to other people and using them as an excuse to beat myself up does NOT serve me AT ALL. Those thoughts only make me feel terrible. It’s also not a fair benchmark. Some of those coaches have been in business for years! So instead, I decided to compare myself to MYSELF.

👏 Where was I THIS time LAST YEAR?

👏 What have I ACCOMPLISHED in 2021?

👏 How FAR have I come in a year? The answers were astounding.

When I looked at the list, I started to cry. Tears of joy and pride.

No wonder why I’m tired!!! No wonder why I need a break.

So I’m going to take a break. I’m going to relax and watch a ton of TV and do whatever I want the last two weeks of December. And NOT beat myself up.

What have you accomplished in 2021? Big or small.

Instead of thinking about what you haven’t done, think about what you HAVE done. Need help deciding? I can help!

Take a break! Take a load off. You’ve earned it. 💕💕💕

Happy holidays everyone! 🎄🎁⛄🧡 #lifecoachingwithlauren
