It’s not too late to start in 2023…

If you’re looking for *that girl* telling you to slow down…I am NOT her.

YES I love a *moment* for me — one that is slow, intentional, relaxing, and cup-filling — but after some serious consideration, I’m not sure THIS is that moment.

Let me explain…

This moment is literally setup for us as a reset, as a time to reflect on every success, and as a time to ask “is this really who/where I want to be again next year?” And YES I know that can be a really daunting question. But listen…setting the same goals again and again feels like a past Rachel problem🤷🏻‍♀️

What if rather than allowing the pressure of “new year, new me” hurt us, we let it help us instead? What if we let it motivate, hold us accountable, ignite small steps who add up to make a great difference, and leads us to the life we dream?

I don’t know about YOU but THAT sounds a lot like 2023 me!

And listen, letting this moment inspire you to start doesn’t mean making changes that cause an even greater backslide. And it doesn’t mean making every change at once or in a damaging way either. But instead it means setting small, attainable goals who together make a BIG change! So please, take it slow but don’t slow down. You’re almost there, and I’m cheering for you!

Embracing the Unknown in 2020 (and BEYOND)

MAYBE I’m going out on a limb here, but I think I speak for us ALL when I say…

2020 has been one hell of a year!

From combating COVID-19 to wading the political pool, addressing racial inequality in our country to redefining what it means to “work from home”, this year has forced us to face change. And as mentioned in my blog post Let’s NOT Return to “NORMAL” I’m not so sure all of this change is necessarily bad.

In fact, I’m not sure EMBRACING change is all that bad either…

You’re in the Queue…

One of the fabulous Ditch the Clique COMMUNITY members recently said to me during our weekly one on one goal-getting chat…

“I feel like I’m in the queue.”

When I asked her to explain, she expressed that she is FINALLY on the brink to reaching her long term goal, and explained that almost suddenly she’s noticing the hard work she’s been doing for HER is paying off.

But to be sure we were truly on the same page, I asked  “so you’re telling me you’re in the queue just waiting for your number to be called?”
