We loved this blog by Amelia Harvey, who begins by pointing out that much of our stress is of our own creation.
“You know the feeling – craving a holiday, answering every ‘how are you?’ with ‘busy!!’, sacrificing sleep and health, racing from one engagement to another, mind overflowing with thoughts, a constant undercurrent of niggling anxiety.
The reality is, lots of the things on our plate are there because we put them there! Most of our stress is caused by choices we’ve made (and the good news is, we can make choices to remove stress too).”
“In order to create our most amazing life, we need to address both out internal and external worlds to make sure we’re aligned and not putting unnecessary obstacles in our way.”
We recommend sitting somewhere peaceful with a cup of Pukka Tea and a Pana Chocolate Ganache (just a suggestion) and working through her 2018 planning guide. Amelia breaks this down into two sections to help you create a calmer, more enjoyable lifestyle:
- Part 1: Simplify + Prioritise
- Part 2: Tame the Inner Critic + Get Intentional
We hope you enjoy creating your own plan for a purposeful, peaceful and abundant 2018!
