September Intuition + Visionboard

 

2021 was about Intuition. A single word designated as a compass to help me manifest my goals and direction.

intuition: noun the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning. "we shall allow our intuition to guide us"

Another middle-of-the-night post. What is this telling me? Too much percolating again I fear and it feels like Autumn is properly here. Look at that - I’m a poet and I didn’t know it.

Anyway, it’s month to the day and almost to the minute (creepy it’s 2.48am) since I last sat here writing August’s post. I hope its not becoming a habit. As I toyed with the decision to get up or to try count more sheep I thought about this blog post and about three others I’ve currently on the boil.

Then I thought - what if I just didn’t do September? What if I stopped writing the different posts and just did it all as one? The Ugly Truth series is a straight talking theme and Intuition is my monthly self-check in and goal setting - but what if I merged them all to make life easy for myself? Would that be a cop out?

Work’s ramped up - partly as a result of having time off. Which was joyful. When you’re the company it’s not as simple as finishing up and leaving a ‘to do’ list with one of your work buddies. Damn it.

It appears the more I realise I can write my own rules about what I do and how I do it, the more I see where I inflict extra pressure on myself to try and do it all. And as I’ve said myself recently. '“You can do anything - but not everything.” Maybe this is me trying to do everything.

So with that in mind this month’s areas of focus are super basic:

Celebrate my business birthday - A whole year old y’all! Snaps to me!

Got something exciting to tell you - Another project…? Umm.

Perfectionism paralysis - Stop striving to do it all absolutely perfectly.

I’m getting quicker at these - maybe the perfectionism is easing up a little.
