Motivation
Well I don't know about you but this chapter is well timed for my life! Summer time feels so exciting with the colors, the sun, and fun activities. It also brings for me more projects, travel, and socializing. And some how my personal projects and self-care are the first things to fall away. That is not uncommon for those of us that are helpers and people pleasers. So let's see if Rick can provide us with some ideas on how to stay motivated and focused on what matters most to each of us. 

Calm
I intended to post about this chapter on July 1st, but I have had a full schedule. As the overwhelmed feelings kicked in this month I noted it as an opportunity to practice calming my nervous system. To stay out of fight/flight urgency mode my go to action is to slow down and decide what isn't actually urgent. Feeling calm is more important than meeting a self-imposed deadline. So I don't rush to fit it all in, in fact I try to let go of enough "to do" items that I make enough room for the actual urgent items and free time.
