Here is a list for you to keep. Use it to make sure you are in alignment with your goals and self-image. A tool like this is also called a self-inventory.
- Am I thriving? (Answer without self-judgement)
- Do I have command over my reactions to the events and people in my life? (i.e. do I lose my temper or become depressed, etc.)
- How is my energy level throughout the day?
- Do I have energy (and time) for the people and activities I love (if these are not already closely related to my work or work-life)?
- Am I excited about what lies ahead this year?
- Despite wanting to stop because they are bad for my health (mentally and/or physically), do I continue behaviors such as drinking, eating junk food, and the like, because I use them as comfort or relaxation from work?
- Am I getting exercise everyday?
- When was the last time I was curious?
Startup Curious?
For those of you considering taking the leap into entrepreneurship, now is a wonderful time to lay down tracks for your future venture. If you aren’t sure where to begin, keep your planning light and high level.
In a wiki style editor, organize your brainstorms and refine them as you jot down new ideas when they come. I use Notion for my startup for ideation, project planning, and collaborating with partners on content. Anything that allows you to keep loose and organized will do.
Once You Trust In Yourself, Everything Else Gets Easier.
