It is almost Back to School...which means glorious summer is over and our scheduled, busy lives begin again. Every year I feel more and more prepared for the start of school and all the activities and running around that comes along with it.
This summer I was really fortunate to attend a training based on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and walked away after the week feeling like I had been refreshed on ways to manage my life and be a better overall person. I love stuff like that...it's like a mental tune-up! I was able to examine what is really important, how to better manage my time, and not live in quadrant 3-4 (with mindless/wasteful behavior/actions/feelings). I'm such a huge believer in reflection and the idea that we can only control ourselves...and when things make you feel icky, cut them out if you feel they are dragging you down. This can be a thing or a person...or even a mindset.
So as I look to the next 9 months which will be filled with school, homework, house work, practice, games, piano lessons, church, and (hopefully) some social time I'm focused on managing my time effectively, letting go of what I can't control (or don't want to control), and making sure to sharpen my saw in order to be the best mom, wife, daughter, friend, and employee possible.
In the mean time we have a few days left and our family is squeezing in as much fun as possible.
