(Re) Focused on Creating My Dream Life

I have a confession to make: I’ve lost my way. 

Not in some big, dramatic crash-and-burn kind of way—but enough that it finally hit me last week: I’ve drifted off course, and it’s time to realign.

Allow me to explain. 

When my ex and I broke up last May, I made a commitment to go back to myself. And, for the most part, I spent the better part of the last year doing just that: 

• I tapped into my fitness journey by signing up for a half marathon and working on building strength 

• I developed consistent meditation and journaling practices

• I decided to change careers, and have been making steps in my education and work/volunteer experience to make that a reality  

• I dedicated more time to the people and things that I love

And then… I lost that momentum. 

I started spending more time doing activities that drained me. I started to overcommit to a level that would inevitably lead to burnout. I stopped prioritizing mindful practices. 

And, most importantly, a feeling of chronic dissatisfaction set in.

As soon as this realization clicked, I knew I needed to do something about it. 

Here’s the good news that I’ve spent my energy affirming to myself since:

• I can easily pick my healing journey back up

• The loss of momentum doesn’t mean the loss of progress

• I know what changes I need to make to get back on track

So, with that in mind, I’ve spent the last week re-focusing on leading the life I want to live. 

How? 

• I read The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins 

• I listened to the audiobook Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza

• I sought guidance from my mentor on how I can better align myself to my career goals

• I bought a new journal and have been writing mindfully on a daily basis

• I found guided meditations that have helped me rebuild my meditation practice 

• I took a look at my calendar and commitments, and decided which ones need to go and which ones I’d like to continue prioritizing 

• I started Crystal Cook’s Align Certification to delve deeper into the world of spirituality and healing 

I’m SO excited for what’s to come now that I’ve realigned and taken control of my future once again. 

I can already feel the shift within me.
