2010 is Awesome!

Essential Daily to-do list by CreativeKismet

I know this is late and I should have been up all night on New Years Eve putting together my “How Great was 2009″ post but thankfully no. My New Years Eve consisted of dance songs from the 1990′s c/o blip.fm and a World of Warcraft marathon with my hubby! Level 70! Woot!

Ahem…

Ok well this is not a look back, even though this past year has been pretty great; Aerith turning one, starting my own business, my best friend getting married, meeting some of the coolest people ever online, yada yada yada. No, this post is a look into the future! (insert creepy Twilight Zone music here)

(I must admit that I stole borrowed this idea from my life coach, so blame her if you’re unhappy with this post!!)


1. If you were only allowed to have ONE Intention for 2010, what would it be & why?

My intention this year will be more self care. I am the kind of person who would chop off her arm for her friend but I tend to just bleed all over the furniture instead of taking care of myself afterwards. I need to put as much effort into giving myself time for my business and my sanity that I do to making sure my husband gets what he wants for dinner and my daughter has all her favorite toys strewn across my living room! I’ve started this off by signing up for the BabySitEase service and I will MAKE myself actually call for a baby sitter because I need my time. I have had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I am not super mom. I’m not ok with it, but I am starting to accept it. I also need to spend more time on my inner self. Be less stressed out over stupid little things, stop eating until I’m sick because I’m bored and stop waiting until the last minute to do things so that I feel rushed! No more I say!! Losing weight is one thing but being a healthier happier me is the main goal.

2. If you were only allowed to have ONE Goal for 2010, what would it be & how can you achieve it?

My main goal will be to double my clients by signing up at least 5 new creative clients this year. Uggg, it’s so scary to put down a number but I think five is realistic and attainable. Plus, having a number to work towards will give me motization and boy do I need motivation sometimes… which leads me to….

3. If you had to get rid of ONE Thing in 2010, what would it be & why?

SELF DOUBT! I am constantly over thinking the most ridiculous things and I need to stop it! I need to realize that I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and doggone it, people like me!! OH and I’m going to stop letting other people’s negativity affect me. I have got to a point in my life where shit happens and you deal with it. Worrying and dreading and moping and pitying are not going to change anything. Being negative only brings you more negativity so my new/old motto is “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!” (Have I mentioned how much I love Monty Python, because I do!!)

4. If you had to do ONE New Thing in 2010, what would it be? Will you commit to it now?

Hmmm, new things are scary aren’t they?! Heck I’m terrified to try a new fish dish let alone a new routine! I want to create a presentation, product or e-book to help creatives in some way. I know, really specific huh! I’ll know the perfect idea when it hits me but I am ready to try this in 2010. Or maybe I’ll just take up curling… we’ll see.

I hope you all have a wonderful 2010 and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for us!

    “I am the kind of person who would chop off her arm for her friend but I tend to just bleed all over the furniture instead of taking care of myself afterwards.” As gross as that is, it’s an awesome analogy. I’m stealing it – I do it, too, & so do a lot of my clients! We have to clean up our amputated arms!

    Are you sure you still want to work with me? :)

    But you ARE super mom if you learn how to balance work and motherhood, and end up with a happy baby, happy mom and happy dad at the of the day!
