PROJECT OF THE WEEK

This week's blog is more of a do what I say, not what I do.

As someone who always plans for the worst case scenario, I struggle with placing equal emphasis on how well it could all work out.

I also know, that even when things go wrong, really, really wrong, it never goes wrong in the way I think it will.

I have been working on shifting my focus to all to the ways it may go right.

Getting Started

I love to plan and I have found that as long as I have a plan, I can see when obstacles are popping up and I can make adjustments.

In some ways I am sure catastrophizing has helped light a fire under me and added to my success. There are plenty of Instagram memes about this very topic - first daughter and all!

However, I can also see how much anxiety and unnecessary angst it has caused over the years.

So, to get started, I am issuing a challenge: create your plan, look at it to see where the obstacles are, but also look to see where a plan shift (intentional or because it’s just life) could create something better. Work on enjoying the journey and focusing on everything that could go right.

Here’s the best part - even if something goes wrong, I know (and you know) I’ll figure it out. I know I’ll land on my feet and you will too.

Meet Sarah

Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings in Upstate New York, I learned to use organization to create sanity among the chaos. Today, I work together with individuals, families, and small businesses to create habits, systems, and spaces that support their needs, goals, and dreams. Clients often refer to our work together as "life-changing" and "better than decades of therapy". What I love most about my work is the lasting impact it has on real people's lives. Nothing makes me happier than hearing the many success stories of clients I have worked with.

What if it All Works Out Great?
