All we need is a little clarity

This week I have been working though a Clarity Workbook I was given by the women's group Six Degrees. I thrive when I have lots of projects on the go but what drives me can also paralyse me. When I have too many balls in the air it can be overwhelming so the Clarity Workbook landed at the perfect time.

It started gently by asking me to write down "What do I want?" then my personal goals and my professional goals. By asking me to reflect on the past 6 months and how joyful I was in 6 areas of my life (family, finances, relationships, career, health, fun/adventure) made me realise I was ready to take control of my life, get into the driving seat and start living my life.

Next came questions around what I have achieved, how I have supported others, what do I find myself overwhelmed by, what do I need to forgive myself for.. these questions really got me thinking deeply about where I want to be and where I want to go.

I spent the next 4 days working through the workbook and the more I got into the workbook, the more clarity I was finding. I found it incredibly therapeutic to really pinpoint what I want to achieve in the next 6 months and what I need to do to get there.

I have never been one to have a 6month/1yr/10yr plan, I have always just gone with the flow and been in the moment, but I find myself writing to you with a plan and a vision of where I want to be in 6 months time.

One way I am going to achieve this is by setting up a vision board, again something I have avoided for years!

The other thing I need to do is get brave.... fear stops us from stepping into our full potential... but there is such joy and fullfillment on the other side of fear when you just push through the emotion. So, I am going to do the things that scare me... like start writing a blog on my website! I am going to start sharing the lessons I am learning and the new things I am experiencing in the hope it might inspire or help others.

I'm looking forward to sharing this with you
