A few additional thoughts:

During this holiday season…

…will you be taking vacations or will you be taking trips?

(They are two different things.)

Why does this matter?

Because in order to pursue your passions and make significant shifts, you need to have energy to put towards those goals.

“Energy management” requires an awareness of how you are using your energy.

Vacations fill up your energy tank.

Trips do not.

(Both can be totally fun though!)

If you go away for a long “vacation” weekend telling yourself that you’ll come home relaxed and ready to tackle that Big Project…

…but that weekend was actually a trip to see the in-laws and you come home unexpectedly exhausted, then you’ll have to spend even more energy wrestling with feelings of confusion and frustration.

Much better to acknowledge that you are going on a trip…

…and reserve the day you come home and the next day as “rejuvenation days” on your calendar THEN tackle your Big Project.

(Done that way, I guarantee that your Big Project will be completed faster and with much more fun and flow.)

Onward!
