What happened? What just happened? 2020 done and dusted. And wow what a ride. With all the shitty stuff that happened it was also a time of setting new boundaries and new goals for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Out with the old and in with the new. Completely and utterly.<\/span><\/p>\n

I left my ‘other’ job that I had been lovingly in for 15 years. I said to myself “I’m giving this Queenstown Life blog thing a good nudge (after 8 years).” I also set down some goals of things I wanted to do and also not do anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also set my sights on lots of group work and masterclasses. Ive been involved in group work for 20 years (holy moly!) and still had Imposter Syndrome! Stop the madnesssssss!<\/span><\/p>\n

Boundaries<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Making life easier since …forever. Boundaries don’t complicate life, they make it easier. People like structure and rules (I know but we do). we also like to know where we sit and fit. So setting things down like I don’t answer emails at 10pm and I want to earn a X$ this year so I need to say “no” to that piece of work only makes life easier. And gives us more choice and freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freedom<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What does that mean to you? To me it means not having to work Fridays (eventually), Being able to go out on my bike on a whim Tuesday at 11.37am. To know I have systems in place so money comes in. That I can take my whanau away for the week. Yours might be to pay off a mortgage. To feel good about money in your bank account for hair cuts, workshops, new computers. Picking your toddler up from daycare knowing you don’t have to work that night and you get to play all night. It is freeing, liberating, you have choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also started doing some huge goal setting. I know it’s the new thing, the buzz word but this stuff actually works.<\/span><\/p>\n

After 7 years of putting my absolute heart and soul into this work and this blog I decided last year I was going to enlist some support, get a coach and actually learn about what others were doing that seemed to be working for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some nuggets I learnt:<\/span><\/p>\n
