This weekend I watched a YouTube video from author Sarra Cannon, that’s message really hit home.

I spend so much time planning and dreaming about the future that I forget that I need to put the work into getting there around my current circumstances – a day job, Chronic Illnesses, and family members.

In last week’s blog I talked about forming a writing habit where I want to write 4-5 days a week and this last week turned out to be a bit of a disaster when it came to getting started on it because I instantly felt guilty that I haven’t done what I planned the motivation disappears and then nothing gets done.

Now the video goes into more detail and talks about routines and manifestation, but essentially what I want to work on is finding the balance.

Balance between my energy, day job, and working towards creating the life I want.

Balance between my Chronic Illnesses and working towards creating the life I want.

To not plan so much that I couldn’t possibly get it all done in the time I allow myself and to take baby steps without putting so much pressure that things must get done by certain points or I am an epic failure, and I’m not talking about when things I have an external deadline.

I’m not sure how exactly I am going to find my balance yet, I am still working on things, but I am hoping that by working to find that balance I can keep myself motivated and working towards my end goals.
