Spinning plates

Hello,
Since coming back from holiday I have been playing catch up with all aspects of my life, friends, family, business, garden, house. Whilst on holiday I totally chilled out and shut myself off from everything except the people I was with. I truly lived in the moment without a care in the world. Wonderful!

So where do spinning plates fit in? Well, I seem to have many things on the go at the same time and it feels as though I am constantly running from one to the other to keep the plates spinning. It's a long time since I have seen someone actually do that on stage however, that's what it feels like. Whilst on holiday of course a few of the plates have dropped and cracked - not smashed just cracked as they could be put back together. I started to tell myself that I should have checked my phone and e-mails whilst on holiday. However, when I sat down and thought about it those cracked plates are ones that I did not want to keep going long term anyway. Yes I can put some work in to retrieve the situation, make a few phone calls etc. but actually I feel quite relieved. It's helped me to focus on the plates that I really really want to take to the next level. There are less of them now which means I can put quality time and energy into making them gold plated!

Many of the women that I speak to seem to have 101 things on the go at the same time and often run around like headless chickens with no clear sense of direction. Perhaps if we take time out and look at the things in our life that we hold onto however, don't really need and probably don't really enjoy. Then ask yourself 'What would happen if I didn't do that anymore?'. It might just free up some time to do the things you really love and enjoy and get lots of satisfaction from. The things that will take you to the next level, wherever that might be.

I'm off to Estonia next week with three other fabulous forty+ women. Will I check my e-mails and phone? I'll let you know how I get on.

Enjoy your week,
