Synchronicities and January 2022 Reflections

My motivation and energy are really high right now.

I resigned on Monday from my corporate marketing role and a HUGE weight was lifted from my shoulders.

Plus, this week a few small synchronicities have played out and given me a deep reassurance that I AM on the right path — quitting the safety of corporate to go back to freelancing. The past few weeks, Id felt nervous about the financial shift I’d go through moving from a regular pay check back to the ups and downs of a freelance income. Through these small signs, the hesitation / nervousness / uncertainty has been replaced with a calm assurance — and excitement! — that everything is going to be fine. Actually, not just fine but better than I could ever hope for.

I feel this so intensely right now. God is showing me I am on the right path.

I know I’m listening to a deeper part of me that WANTS desperately to break free again of the confines of a lifestyle structure that just isn’t who I am. I’m opening myself up to run fully and completely in this new direction. I’m tossing out the uncertainty, the insecurities, the fear of failure, the feeling of imposter syndrome, the feeling of not being good enough, the inertia, all the things that plagued me on my last freelance journey. I KNOW these things held me back. These feelings impacted my business in ways that no strategic planning or business advice could turn around. I was stuck in a cycle I couldn’t climb out of.

Not anymore.

I’m going to try new things, push myself well out of my comfort zone, put myself out there. Become who I know I am meant to be. I’m operating with more heart and less practical reasoning.

This isn’t just about freelancing. This is about many parts of my life that I’m working on at the moment. January has been awesome for really getting my head to the next level. It’s like I’ve popped my head up through a hole in the ceiling I’ve struggled to break through for so long. I can see what’s coming next. I haven’t hoisted myself fully through that hole yet but I will. I can see what the next version of me will be in a way I never have before. I feel a bit euphoric!

It’s crazy to believe we’re already in February! I’m proud of myself for sticking to commitments I made for January

> No alcohol. I stuck with not drinking for the whole month and plan to continue on until I feel like having a drink. The first Friday of not drinking was hard, the second no booze Friday was also a bit challenging but the 2nd half of the month it was easy not to think about drinking.

> No added sugar. Except for my birthday, when I had a small piece of homemade carrot cake, I didn’t have any added sugar in my diet for all of January.

> Work out every day for 1 hour. I only had 2 days of no work outs and 2 days of less than an hour. I know rest days are important — this was just a 30 day challenge to really kick off my next level fitness mindset! I feel really good about how committed I was to exercise. I also chose more challenging workouts than I normally would and did a trial (1 session) at a Cross Fit gym which I will be taking up in February.

> Nightly bible study and affirmations. I am making my way through a structured bible study — which is a series of questions that you answer by looking up relating bible passages. I did at least one question on most nights. I was a bit less committed with my affirmations.

It was also just an interesting little project to do and see the process for self-publishing (in its most basic form!) to Amazon.

> Post an article on Medium each week. Done! It’s been really enjoyable just getting back into writing my thoughts and goals down.

Overall, I’m super happy with how January finished up and I’m excited for February! Especially excited that I only have 16 more “office” working days left….hooray!

How was your start to 2022?
