Birthday #42
Today is my birthday. 42.
The age my mom was when I graduated high school. I remember thinking anyone over the age was 30 was practically terminal and certainly no longer sexually active, which my father continued to remind me of until the very end.
15 Minute Challenge
Guidelines –
Carve out some time in the midst of a very hectic schedule.
Seek out a peaceful space, and ask –
What feels good?
When could I fit it in?
Where do I feel most peaceful & quiet?
How can I make the space in the midst of so much busy?
Why does it matter? Why is it important? Why is it worth it?
Challenge – Commit to a 15 minute practice of self care tomorrow…
I’m Kristi, a pretty typical gal who was just recently told by a dear friend that I’m in midlife. I was shocked.
Then I looked around at my daughters (9 and 6), my husband (of more years than I can easily recall), and my accomplishments (not as many as I’d like) and found myself wondering if this is all that I am. It’s certainly not all I intended to be.
All this internal turmoil seemed pretty classic for this season in life, but then the pandemic hit and those inside voices just got louder and more unruly.
Consider – Why
When I begin to consider my why, it eventually evolved into Extraordinary the Ordinary.
As it turns out my whys are plentiful and conflicting – they are shaped by my past, motivating my present, and influencing for my future.
What would happen if you took some of your 15 minutes to consider your why?
