If you have ever wanted to know what my daily routine looks like, this is the episode for you. I am bringing you along a journey of what, typically, my days look like most of the time. Of course, every day is different and things do come up. And I am also not a super strict schedule type of person. Hence why this is called a routine, not my schedule.
This episode is not about showing you ALL the things I do as a means of saying “you need to do more” or “if I can do it so can you” because I don’t really believe that.
The purpose of this episode is to:
- Share a little more about my world here in rural Nevada
- be transparent about the good days and the hard days
- For you to take whatever kind of value you see fit from it
Working From Home With An 8 Month Old
Working from home with an almost 9 month old baby has presented itself as quite the challenge. Honestly, I have cried a lot. There are days where I am so stressed out feeling all the imposter syndrome. I have wondered what the heck my purpose is about 100 times. Not to mention the 500 other emotions that run through my body in a single day.
I also feel like I need to be clear that I used to be a very structured person. Living for routines and consistency. Now? I am in survival mode.
So when you listen to this, whether you think I do too much or not enough, just do yourself a favor and do not compare your life to mine. We are all walking very different paths.
Instead ask yourself:
- What does your current season look like? Are you in a transition, and need grace? Are you in a place where you have opportunity to hustle and grind out work? What kind of boundaries do you need to set or yourself in this phase of life?
- What do you want to implement more of and less of in YOUR life?
- family time
- routines
- what are your priorities right now?
- My new reality 9 months in:
- nothing is fast
- I have let go of a lot
- my mindset is better than it was in the beginning
- Stetson is crawling now and very busy
- Talking of another baby
