Scattered Much??
01/14/19 • 22 min
So right about now you are probably in one of two camps: either doubling down on some New year’s resolutions, or you’re like, um, screw that. I don’t do resolutions. Perhaps you’ve had your heart broken by resolutions not working in the past and of course you aren’t alone.
HOWEVER!!! Neither resolutions nor workbooks to change your life are what I’ll be talking about today! Today we are going to talk about feeling SCATTERED. Uuuugghhh. Feeling scattered is EXHAUSTING. And it totally keeps you from being creative, from feeling centered and calm, from feeling productive in a meaningful way.
We gotta get our head straight because jumping to DO things in this mindset is probably going to not only waste time, but it’s more like having a cigarette to calm your craving for cigarettes. That’s not really going to solve things and you’re gonna get cancer or at least very yellow teeth.
COOL STUFF:
And now's a good time: if you haven't already done the Gag Your Inner Critic worksheet, get it by clicking here!
