Anyone else just sit on the floor and ignore their

Anyone else just sit on the floor and ignore their to-do lists? I do it all the time - there’s just something about a good floor lay.

I wrote those words in my journal in the final day

I wrote those words in my journal in the final days of 2021 while reflecting on the year gone by. I was frustrated that a lot of my momentum was lateral and not forward. I wanted to point fingers and blame pandemics, but I realized as I journaled that it was *ME* that wasn't answering the call.

The receptionist can call your name, but it's up to you to stand up and walk through the door and out of the waiting room.

I'm tired of living in the waiting room. I opened up about life in the waiting room and my decision to walk out of it on the blog today. Link in bio.

May I invite you to leave the waiting room as well?

Anyone else wearing the @carhartt even though they don’t do Carhartt things?

In my defense, I *can* do “Carhartt things.” Raised on a farm, over here. I just choose not to these days. 🤣

I heard @ThomasRhettAkins say this on a podcast a couple of months ago. I can't remember which one or who he attributed the quote to, but it stopped me in my tracks. Because YES.

We live in a society that celebrates "busy." I fell victim to it over the last few months of 2021 and I don't think it was coincidence that these words hit me so hard. I was doing all.the.things. and allowing my to-do list to keep me from prioritizing the things that matter most. I wasn't taking care of my physical, mental, or spiritual health and it showed. My body was tired and inflamed. I was tired and tense. So was my spirit.

I knew I needed to do something. I couldn't keep living that way. So I listened to that small, still voice inside me that was asking me to stop. Evaluate. Realign. The Devil is loud, but God is always louder and He was asking me to make some changes before my crash and burn turned into a full on implosion.

So I did. I got quiet and listened to that voice was saying. I sent busy packing and reprioritized what's most important to me. I put boundaries around work in place once more - no more replying to emails at 8pm. No more feeling guilty if I didn't finish up a project that day. No more checking my phone before I got out of bed. No more saying "yes" when I really wanted - needed - to say no.

More quiet time with God.
More eating whole foods.
More moving my body.
More time doing the things that light me up.

More time in the present.
Less time checking off boxes.

If the devil can't make you sin, he'll make you busy. And if you're busy, you're not going to hear that small voice that tells you to slow down. Adjust. Realign.

Take care of yourself and what matters most. The to-do list will still be there tomorrow.

Tag someone who might need this message as much as I did.

I struggled to land on my 'Word of the Year' this

I struggled to land on my 'Word of the Year' this year. I tried on several words, but none of them felt right. Then I felt a pull to reach out to a friend and admit I couldn't land on one. And she, of course, gave me the perfect word, just like that.

I wrote about my 2022 Word of the Year on the blog today. It's a big word and one that's going to be a challenge for me to live into as someone who likes to keep their hands on the wheel. Give it a read - link in bio.

Big thank you to @guyer_girl for dropping the word and to @traceycccc for unknowingly reaffirming that word was the right word just this morning. ❤️

I'm not a big New Year's Resolution person. I beli

I'm not a big New Year's Resolution person. I believe if you want to make a life change, you do it. You don't wait for Monday, the first of the month, the first of the year. You just decide and then go do.

Having said that, I'm heading into 2022 with big goals.

I pride myself on being able to do all.the.things. Work full time. Full time grad school. Teach barre. Coach. Write. Try to have a social life. The list goes on. My Enneagram 3s are probably nodding along. I've been like this my whole life.

But for the first time, I experienced major burnout in the last couple of months of 2021. I wrote in my journal on New Year's Eve that I've been living in survival mode. I let boundaries get crossed, priorities get shuffled. When my schedule finally cleared the last couple of weeks of 2021, I felt tired and beaten down. I didn't want to do the things anymore. I wanted to sit on my couch, binge TV, and scroll Instagram. So I let myself do that for a bit. I even went THREE DAYS without writing, something unheard of in my world.

I also had space to reflect, re-align, and get clear on what my priorities are. I'm tired of being tired and I'm tired of living life in a waiting room (more on that later). Nothing changes if I don't change, so I committed to a new way of doing things.

Aligned priorities.
Stronger boundaries.
Clearer vision.
More pursuing passion and joy.
Less checking obligation boxes.

I'm excited about what's ahead in 2022. And I'm excited to share it with you.

Here's to 2022 - whatever it may hold.

Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde here. I've been thinking

Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde here. I've been thinking about this concept a lot lately. How often do we settle for what's right in front of us? We think "this is good enough" and let the big dreams and visions for our lives fall away. We get comfortable in the routine of it all and forget to push for more.

I've been doing that over the last couple of years.

It may not seem like it. I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a big dream after all. But there are so many things I want out of life and yet... I've gotten stuck in the existing. In the day-to-day humdrum of merely doing what comes next: wake up, work, go to class, do homework, go to sleep, repeat.

I don't want to exist.

I don't want to get stuck in the humdrum.

I want a big life.

That's been my prayer lately: "Please, God, lead me to lead a BIG LIFE."

But to lead a big life, you have to be willing to take chances. Take risks. Push out of what's comfortable right here, right now, and reach for that thing that feels out of reach. Push out of the routine and find what lights us up.

I don't want to look back and say "I merely existed." I want to be able to say I LIVED. I want to live a big life. And so, I have to take action towards that big life.

Questions for you:

Do you want to LIVE or EXIST?
What is ONE THING you can do TODAY to LIVE?
How will you hold yourself accountable to do that one thing?

Let's live a big life, friends. Let's not merely exist. Let's live a big, bold life. So we can look back and say "wow, that was fun."

More to come from me on how I'm taking action to live a big life - and how I can help you do the same.
