Day 4 - Get out your pruning shears - Find You Joy Workshop

In Kinship - for makers who crave a vibrant life

Today's lesson can be both a YES! kind of lesson and a "oh, but wait, that's too hard" kind of thing! Culling out the things in your life that are not making you happy can be HUGE and can be simple. But, we only have so much time and energy each day and if we commit to all the things, we won't have space for what matters.

So, let's begin!

• Give the audio a listen. (above)
• Make a list (YES, I love lists!) of all of your commitments and daily habits and rate them.
  First mark all the the things on your list that excite you. Things you love doing and that are clear yeses.
  Next, give the list a critical view and cross off everything that doesn't really need to be done and that can easily be culled away.
  Then, look at what's left and determine what does not in fact need to be done by YOU! Be really honest about this and find ways to delegate or hire out these things. (ideas in the audio!)
  Finally, turn a really critical eye to what's left. The things that you don't really want to do, but that you feel you have to. Do you REALLY have to? Is there another way to accomplish what this task does? Can it be cut anyway? What story do you have in your mind about what it means about you if you don't do this? Saying no, opens your life up to what you are meant to be doing and how you can stay in joy and ease.

Tomorrow, we'll get out our calendars and start to pull some of things we're learning about ourselves together!

Comment below and tell me what you are no longer doing!
