Make this list your own and determine what is YOU need TODAY. It’s natural to want to cling to the people we used to be, or the dreams of hobbies we wish we had time for. If you used to enjoy gourmet cooking or truly intended to make your own sushi, but it just hasn’t happened, know that it’s okay. Release the items that you aren’t using—they’re only creating guilt and clutter by hanging around. Acknowledge where you’re at and what you’re pursuing in this phase of life and let’s set you up to enjoy, succeed and find peace with where you are today.
