‘Be happy with what you have, whilst working on what you want’. One on my fav quotes from Helen Keller. Everyone wants to rush into creating a better future…but if you spend too much time doing this…you’ll always be feeling like your working towards a better life. It feels like…striving. Striving sucks!
Stop…and think of 5 things that you are proud of in your life right now. I’ll go first…
1. The purchase of my first house
2. A healthy body
3. A job I love
4. Photo that reminds me of running the New York Marathon
5. Amazing friends
Seriously, you should do this. Took me 1 minute. I feel so much better and I can now create from a much better place. I no longer feel like I’m striving. I feel content and energised about moving forward.

Love this idea. We don’t often celebrate oursleves do we?
Totally Tracy. Once you get started on your list…the corners of your mouth start to turn up. So much to celebrate!
