Let’s Start with You Today
Most of us in agriculture really love it. It is pretty awesome to get to work with the land, animals, and “most” of the people! But what happens when you get lost in the scheme of things? Sometimes, I used to feel like I was in a whirl wind of chaos and couldn’t find a place to land. Everything was coming at me: kids, chores, bills, emotion. I felt like I was just a product of everything else except me.
I’ve heard it so many times: “If you don’t take care of yourself – You’ll have nothing left to give”. Yeah, whatever. Seriously, anyone in agriculture knows when it’s time to work, it’s time to work.
But it doesn’t need to be some 2 day get away. You don’t need to pack your bags and leave the farm and the family in the dust just to catch a breath. And you certainly don’t need to hide. (I heard from a friend this works 😉 ) lol.
Just take a breath. Now, what is it that you want? A family? Farm living? To watch the sunsets? What is it? Make a list of everything you want. How many of those things are right at your fingertips and you are too busy to slow down and enjoy everything you’ve worked for?
What happens is that so often we become disconnected from ourselves and get pulled in so many directions that we don’t know what’s going on. Then our minds run amuck. Well, then you’re stuck in quick sand.
All you have to do is take a minute just to pull yourself back to you. Remind yourself of the blessings that are right at your fingertips. Think of all those wonderful thoughts that make you smile. Then move forward – one step at a time. After all, it’d be a shame to have missed this beautiful ride.
If this resonates with you and you would like some help finding your joy, come work with me!
