Old Business

Dear friends, it’s time to take stock of that weight that chains you down, that item you spend so much energy ignoring: that thing on your to do list you’ve been avoiding. There’s always something, isn’t there? That task you know you ought to do… but something is holding you back. Maybe you haven’t been ready to face a fear or some emotional turmoil surrounding a task. Maybe you just keep on procrastinating because it’s easier than figuring out your first step. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by the scope of something, and haven’t been able to break it down into manageable pieces. Well, this month it’s time to roll up your sleeves and tackle that old business! This challenge offers a chance to unchain yourself from the weight of old business, freeing up mental and emotional energy for other parts of your life.

Reflection:

The Old Business I chose for June was catching up on these blog posts! As you can see, I’m finally getting there, and it is now August. It’s always worthwhile to revise your expectations and not overwork yourself to meet an arbitrary goal, if it feels insurmountable. I’m pleased to say that many of my guildmembers successfully tackled their old business, too! (And finished it on time, even.)
