Anyone else off to a slower start this quarter? If you are, I’m here to let you know that it’s totally okay to start whenever you’re ready. There’s no specific magic to starting on Day 1 of a month or quarter. You can start at any time and still be successful! Which is a huge relief, because I’m definitely off to a slow start!
Sometimes life doesn’t go according to plan, so we have to slow down, take a step back, and show up in the best way we can in the moment. Today on YouTube, I’m sharing my 90 Day Reset Routine for Q2 and talking all about how Q1 went and what I’m up to next …and it’s a full hour! Let’s hang out and talk goals, reset, mindset, and sticky notes. Watch now on YouTube.
If you’re off to a slow (or nonexistent) start this quarter, too, just remember that our plans are not meant to be crystal balls. We can’t predict or control the future. Instead, the power of a plan is that it can be a clear roadmap to follow. It’s a straight path to where we want to go in life.
The timeline is not as important as the steps, and it’s crucial we keep reminding ourselves of this! I was already off to a rough start, but then 2 days after I recorded this reset video, my daughter broke her wrist. Oof. Talk about the kind of thing that can mess up a plan! We all go through times like this, so don’t let it get you down.
No matter where you are in the process, I hope you know that your value and worth is not tied to any plan or timeline. Jump in on Q2 plans if and when you’re ready, and know that no matter what, I’ll be here cheering you on!
If you’re looking for an amazing event to help you increase productivity on whatever you’re currently working on, come join us for the Heart Breathings Virtual Writing Retreat this weekend! The fun starts on Friday morning and ends late on Sunday (all times in EST). 3 days packed with writing sprints hosted by our wonderful HB Admins. You can check the schedule here. Don’t forget that all of our “non-event” weekly sprints are also on this calendar, and you can add it to your personal calendar by clicking on the +Google Calendar at the bottom! Hope to see you there!
Also, if you’d like to sign up for reminder emails each day of the retreat, click here.
I also wanted to let you know that I’ll be a guest on the Dabble Podcast this week! The live interview is set for 2PM Eastern on Wednesday, and you can watch it on YouTube here. Click over and click the notification button if you want to get a reminder for when we go live. It always means so much to see my Hearties friends when I’m live. Hope to see you there.
Also, for those planner lovers in the crowd (wait… that’s probably all of us, haha) the new Erin Condren LifePlanner collections launched today!!! If you want a glimpse at the new Evolve planners pictured above, I did a video review last week that you can watch here.
If you’re ready to shop the new planners (and snag one of the fun new sampler packs before they’re gone), I’d love for you to shop my affiliate link. Let me know if you’re grabbing anything today! I’m about to place an order of my own, but it’s tough to decide between all the fun new designs.
See you in the comments!
I have been self-publishing my books since 2010, and in that time, I've sold well over half a million copies of my books. I'm not a superstar or a huge bestseller, but I have built an amazing career that brings me great joy. Here at Heart Breathings, I hope to help you find that same level of success. Let's do this.
