June 2023 goals

It’s my birthday month. As with personal tradition, no specific goals for birthday month. But I still want to set broad intentions on how I would want to go about celebrating this month of my birth. Just 2 things this month:

• Relax (different from rest)
• Recalibrate

I’ll be busy with consulting in June. So the last thing I want on my birthday is to stress-rush around like a headless chicken juggling consulting, indie products and family. I’ve done enough of that in the past few months (and years). I want to be more directed and purposeful in starting my new birth year.

Mindfulness, essentially.

I miss that calm and centered self-assuredness. I want to get back to living that way. So first thing is to relaaaaaax. Not resting physically per se, because I’ll still be busy with work, but to stop, inwardly. To relax I first have to stop.

Stop stress-rushing around mindlessly.
Stop feeling like I’m never enough.
Stop expecting more and more.
Stop wanting myself to stop.

Stop, so that I can let go, let loose, and let it relax.

Then I can recalibrate. I can come back to myself. No more feeling disembodied. Back to mindful presence. Mind and body aligned.

So that I can truly live. So that I celebrate this gift of yet another year of being alive and well.

Another year of life.

Onwards to June!
