Happy Independence Day! As we celebrate America’s freedom, take a moment to think about the freedom in your life? Are you doing what you want to be doing with your life? Is anything holding you back and preventing you from living life freely, like your job or a particular relationship?
My father has a bumper sticker on his car that says, “This is your life, not a dress rehearsal.” I love this idea. Take on your dreams. Don’t wait for next month or when you lose 20 pounds or for the kids to be older, start now. I encourage you to check in with where you are and where you want to be. Take some time to do a visualization exercise and ask yourself these questions:
Where do you want to be a month from now? In six months? Next year? In 10 years?
Acknowledge yourself today for who you are and what you have done so far. Now go out and celebrate!! Treat yourself to a refreshing, festive dessert.
