Setting Your Monthly Intention for July: Keeping Things Simple
Hello Be You! Community!!
This month, I want to do something different...in the summer, I like to keep things simple because there is so much going on, and on top of it, schedules are all over the place.
This month, I encourage you to choose a word. Something you can refer to throughout the month.
My word is balance.
This might seem like a loaded word, but I choose it to remind me to be present with how I'm showing up this month.
Balance between having fun with my kiddos and me time.
Balance between eating healthy, awesome foods and enjoying summer treats.
Balance between work and play.
As I write this, I'm only on week 2 of 9 weeks of the kids' summer holidays (but who's counting)...and so far I've been feeling pretty balanced.
However, I know how easy it is to veer too far one way or the other...I had one day so far when I thought, "This is going to be a long summer," but I recognized that I needed to make a shift and take a break!
So..my husband took the kids out for a couple of hours so I could just be.
Also, this past Sunday, I had a lazy day...no planning, no doing, just reading and being.
It's not about being perfect... it's about picking a word to help you stay connected to who you are or want to be or want to feel this month.
Will I feel completely balanced throughout the month? Most likely not. But my word will help me remember to choose thoughts and actions that will bring me back into balance.
What word do you want to choose for the rest of July?
