Getting Off My 'But'

So after a long hiatus, I am back and it feels good!
Lately, it seems like my life has been so busy with different activities, but yet nothing productive. I have unfinished projects lying around, my house is still in dire need of attention, my husband's office is not yet completed, and the list goes on. However, I did manage to get some much needed R&R in during my long break. Not only did I have a vacation to Puerto Rico with my husband, but I also got in 2 girls weekends filled with shopping, massages, and great quality time with my mom and sister! This spring is packed with different activities, but they are all exciting opportunities to learn more and grow.

As I am quickly approaching my last year of my twenties I want to make this the best year yet! I want to fill it with activities that have impact on the quality of my life!! In preparation I read an amazing book: Get Off Your "But" by Sean Stephenson.

It is a great reminder to remind you not to let your fears/doubts hold you back. I think I often let my "But" get in the way of blogging:
"But I don't have time, I am working full time and I have two small children."
"But what if it is not any good."
"But it doesn't compare to all of the other blogs."
However, I an quickly realizing why I wanted to start blogging and it wasn't to compare myself to others or to add another 'to do' on my list. I choose to start this blog as creative outlet and help me truly find my passions. Writing/journaling is a great way to get to know ourselves better and I think this blog can do just that. I am by no means a fantastic writer, but it helps me reflect and for that alone I enjoy it!

For my last year of my twenties I am making a conscious effort to surround myself with positive people and invest time in things that make a difference! Look forward to seeing more regular postings from me!

Make it a great day!
