I have been very actively looking at how I spend my time as a freelancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sensing some shifts happening and can see from the outside the incredible amount of rat race that I have engaged in, or still do so, or what my friends and peers are up to and how stressed and tired everyone is. I recently hired a really wonderful accountant who is goal setting with me\u2014business and personal financial\u2014to get to a place of a digital nomad. It was one of many steps I am taking as part of this evaluation of time because I do not want things to feel like a rat race. And I am willing to shift my mindset around time and money to get to have time to do X things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, X is sitting back down at the piano that I have not played in months. X is taking my lunch on the back deck, because that’s why we extended it, so we can hang out there. X is more sleep, X is more lettering projects. X is starting all kinds of other new projects. X is continually pairing down my possessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have also created a morning routine. More pause, meditation, sitting with myself and the goals I have for the day. I now set goals for the week as well, but to sit for a few minutes daily is so helpful. I’m not saying I do it perfectly or even every day, but if the goal is X and if I am the only one who can make this better, this has to be the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Add to the pile that I started obsessing over Brooke Castillo’s The Life Coach School podcast. I found her through one of my <\/span>other podcasts I listen to<\/span> and I immediately went back to back on so many episodes. The one I cannot stop thinking about (there are a few from the last 20 or so episodes that ring overly true) is episode <\/span>208.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Time creates value and value creates money. Time does not create money. MONEY CREATES TIME. In case you are a fast reader. Let’s say that again: MONEY CREATES TIME. When you have the money you can buy back your time. That’s how I am going to get back to my X factors. Creating incredible workshops, content, toying with a few new project ideas\u2014bringing that lifestyle to life that I have been craving to reach. It’s all going to come together in the most magnificent ways, because I am investing in my mind, in my brain, and that’s where the true value can be created. I am sleeping, meditating, journaling. It’s a process I can’t rush it, but things are shifting and my mind is on fire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you are ready because I have a lot in store for you. xo.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
