BE Well: Take Baby-Steps

Written By Barbara Ellen Leicht

✨ Let’s be real: this time of year can be tough at times ✨ 

Certainly, as tough as it is wonderful + even magical. 

🌱 So give yourself some grace. Create space. 

How??

💗 Baby-steps. 

Take it from 1 of the most successful woman out there:

🌱 Hoda Kotb + “I Really Needed This Today”

I know that’s exactly what my husband + I are doing right now. 

💗 As of Monday we’re caring round-the-clock for our elderly kitty whose kidney disease has advanced. So we slow-it-down. 

Work-related, I’m absolutely there for my clients. Outside of this?? We show-up by reframing + reprioritizing little-by-little:

1. What felt Urgent is replaced with Kitty Needs 

~ meetings can be rescheduled 

~ making family comfortable cannot 

2. Super Important Deadlines becomes Savoring Family Time 

~ marketing can be reworked 

~ memories last forever 

3. Planning the Big Picture weeks in advance becomes taking it Day-by-Day

~ timelines can shift 

~ time spent in the present cannot 

Do we shift everything all at once? No. 

🌱 That can be overwhelming too. We make tweaks here + there based off of values like:

•Respect

•Intuition

•Self Care + Family 

•Teamwork

•Love 

💗 So what’s that little voice telling you to respect in a big way today???

✨ Listen. Act in baby-steps. That’s how we make the most important things shine. That’s how we authentically career develop as well ✨
