March was a tough month for a lot of us – and while I’m glad this month is over, I’m also grateful for what it showed me.
This month I was able to put myself and my family first, and not feel extreme guilt over it. Which is huge because I’ve been working very hard on setting boundaries and although I still have a lot of work to do, this month I was able to take a big leap in the right direction.
I put my peace first – I took a step back and stopped giving 110% when others didn’t. I spoke my truth, and stood my ground on situations happening around me.
I prioritized my family first, instead of a big rotation at work. Which was only able to happen, because I knew my team was ready to handle things in my absence. Ultimately allowing me to be where I needed to be, with my family, during an equally challenging and monumental time for us.
I made time for myself and my wants. When I wanted to read, I read. When I wanted to make something new, I sat in front of the sewing machine and made it. When I wanted to sleep, I laid down and slept. Which believe it or not, wasn’t always the case. I always did what I had to do, regardless of what I wanted to do.
Which brings me to my main reflection – I’ve finally flipped the switch, and can’t wait for what my future has in store for me.
So being on April, I’m ready to kick some ass.
