Time to Start a New Life

Short story on the power of intention. In the first few months of 2016 my husband and I hit a pretty major crossroad both personally and professionally. We knew there was no longer any other option than to create HUGE change in our lives. Utilizing talk therapy, a combined yoga practice/date night every Wednesday, among other things, we underwent massive breakdown of old habits - one of which was not being honest. Not only with one another, but ourselves about what we really wanted in our lives, both individually and as a couple. I think most of you who are married or are in long term commitments know - this is no easy task! 

When did we start lying to ourselves about what we really wanted out of life?? When did we start living someone else's story?
​

In April 2016 we started talking about the ways we wanted to begin living our dream life NOW. And here was the basic gist:

-Financial Freedom (getting out of debt)
-Lynn: shift private practice in some way
-Zach: change jobs or start own business
-Lynn: travel abroad and feed artistic side
-Zach: have a woodworking studio/free time to build
-Have a more fun/adventurous partnership
-Create the home we really want or move
-Feeling like we had TIME to do the things we really wanted
-Make vacation a way of life - not something to do only when we're burnt out once/year

While we differed on whether it was a list of "intentions" or simply a list of goals, I marked the start date in our online calendar - April 1, 2017 - "Time to Start a New Life". This in my mind was the deadline - or perhaps birth date in this case. If all else failed I felt we should quit our jobs, sell everything and become nomads. 
​Fast forward through a challenging 2016 - full of many peaks and valleys, accomplishments and struggle. It's the end of February 2017, I'm again looking at my online calendar and typing some appointments into April when I notice what I wrote... every day that month. Then it hit me.....
​HOLY SHIT!!! Every intention we had set had come true or was coming true and then some!

This weekend my husband and I agreed wholeheartedly it really did FEEL like a whole new life had begun. AND now seeing it every day on our calendar has brought a whole new sense of excitement to our daily lives. While there are still things to accomplish..... it's happening!!!!!!! 

Moral of the story:  The power of aligning your life with the truth of your heart and soul's purpose- works! Seriously.
