oooh, only in bits and pieces, in that I thought I’d feel certain things when I left and didn’t. I guess those are joyous lessons I have to come :p. Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them 🙂

I so agree. I think having goals or vision boards or affirmations – whatever focus looks like to a person, is so important. You can’t chase after a dream if you don’t know what the dream is.

Small rewards are totally my friend. I am really reward driven and when I put rewards in place for milestones I’m much more likely to stick to whatever it is I need to achieve. Lovely thoughts as ever, thank you for sharing.

haha!

You have to! Can’t have a broken Sacha!!!

Don’t become a stranger. It’s all too easy to lock yourself away to work on the things you want to achieve (study, be a writer, etc) but then you lose contact with those that are close to you because you feel you need to put every single moment into your newfound freedom and being your own boss full-time that everyone else becomes a stranger.

Take time to pamper yourself. Set smaller goals and reward yourself with those achievements, spend time with friends or do something you’ve always put off because you never had the time.

Because, without the little rewards, you are going to wonder why you put yourself through all this struggle and whether it was worth it. — Of course it’s worth it but pacing and adjusting to your new environment is part of the process and without it, you may start to waver or have doubts when you’re getting close to a major goal or achievement and that can be fatal unless you’ve maintained contact with friends who support you and help to ground you.

I might have to implement something similar. Feeling more than somewhat broken today 🤣🤣
