I am always already behind on January 1st.\xa0I\u2019m late and disorganized and definitely underprepared.\xa0Pre motherhood, I would spend the last couple weeks of December reflecting on the year gone by and planning for the new year.\xa0I would spend time drafting lofty dreams and creating spreadsheets with goals and metrics.\xa0There would be graphs and charts and vision boards.\xa0I would wake up on January 1st READY.\xa0\xa0\nReady to start fresh.\xa0\nReady to live my crisp new dreams.\xa0\xa0\nReady to make sh*t happen.\xa0\nThen I became a mom.\xa0\xa0\nFor the last 10 years, I have spent the holidays in chaos.\xa0Lovely, exhausting, magical, frantic weeks on end where I have no time, no childcare, and no energy to sit and dream about a new year.\xa0\nAs a result, I wake up every January 1st knowing that a bunch of people spent the last few weeks in quiet reflection and dreaming - but I did not.\xa0I spent it creating and managing magic for my child and family.\xa0\xa0\nA few years ago I gave myself permission to let January be an entire month of beginning and becoming.\xa0I don\u2019t need to start fresh, live my crisp, new dreams, or make sh*t happen right on January 1st.\xa0I have the whole month to figure out where I\u2019m going.\xa0And, during that month, there is only ONE thing that needs to happen.\xa0\nIf this ONE thing happens, I know I\u2019ll be set for the year. This ONE thing can happen on a Monday evening or a Thursday morning or a Saturday afternoon.\xa0This ONE thing can take 20 minutes or 2 hours.\xa0This ONE thing can happen on my terms.\xa0\xa0\nIn this episode, I will share the ONE thing and why it is critical to helping you create a vision and action plan for 2023.\xa0\xa0\nLink mentioned:\nRegister for my 2023 Plan & Prep Pajama Party: shamelessmom.com/pajamaparty\n\n\nThank you to our sponsors this month:\nFull Time VA: Check out this free training on how to be a virtual assistant that makes full-time income with part-time hours: thefulltimeva.com/Shameless.\xa0 Owner Amanda Rush Holmes is also including a bonus free guide for SMA listeners -\xa0 The VA Kickstarter Workbook!\nRitual: Ritual\u2019s Essential for Women 18+ is a multivitamin you can actually trust.
