I am building a new awareness of what is important in the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge. Even a year ago, I deemed everything important. Not so much today! Read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!!
A Recovering Magpie Builds Anew
It can be daunting to look at this 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge as a whole. Breaking it down into the baby steps I have talked about so many times this summer has made this process possible.
{Coming clean} I am easily overwhelmed by prefectionist thinking! Oh yeah…as much as I avoid the search for perfection, it crops up from tie to time when I feel the need to procrastinate.
My Summer Simplifying Challenge
Perfectionism is the highest form of procrastination. I know this in my mind. My Summer Simplifying Challenge is challenging both of these things. I am starting to know this in my heart. It has been a funky journey so far. Some great ups and some really down downs. But that is okay for me. I have goals and needs and an outcome in mind. I want to be free of mess and chaos. I want to walk through my life with an ease that accompanies simplicity.
That sentence makes me smile…widely. The first half {yes, this is day 45 folks} of the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge, has been a time of tearing down. The second half I foresee as a building time. It will be a time to nurture the Seeds of the New Me and see what happens. I look forward to that seeing…and the simplicity that follows.
