What’s the one thing? Do that. Everything else is just a supplement.
I started crying today when I read a message from a business coach letting me know my two month free trial was up and offering me a discount for the next year.
See back in July, I had won a contest that gave me access to a business coach and her group for free. I was ecstatic thinking “this is it— God is telling me to do more with my businesses.”
And then as time went by, and going back to work crept closer, I did less and less. I’m honesty not even sure I’ve watched a video from the group— and i know I haven’t joined any calls.
A free opportunity totally wasted.
And the truth is— I have an inbox full of free trainings…. and I want to read them, I want to make by blog and business successful. But it’s not the thing I need to focus on right now, in this season, and I need to let the guilt go.
I love writing, sharing ideas with the world, sharing my love of fitness and inspiring others to be healthy! I love it.
But I also love my bible study, and snuggles with my babies, and spending time with my husband.
And while I know one day, I might be able to “have it all” that day isn’t today.
I’m tired. I’m worn out. And truthfully— the only thing I need in my life is Jesus and some coffee.
So I’m letting go of the guilt. I’m not saying I won’t post or run free groups, or that I’m not here for you if you want to make that change to be healthy.
But I’m giving myself that grace and time to be okay with not hustling. To slow down and spend the quiet time now, while I can, with my babies while they’re little … and while I have a full time job that I enjoy that can pay the bills.
I love mamas with side hustles and at home hustles and I cannot wait to get back at it:… but until I’m able to clear out my issues and let go of the guilt, I’ll never be able to help others.
I have to do the things to work on me— put my oxygen mask on first— so I can help others.
I truly believe God has big plans for me, my businesses and my life. But feeling shame and guilt around that work isn’t going to make me successful, it’ll only make me resentful and bitter. And my family, my followers, and myself deserve better than that.
