Less than three weeks ago, I made a list of five things to achieve in 90 days. This exercise was lead by the lovely Amber Rae, and her first instruction was to write down 25 things we want to accomplish. From there, we had to circle five of the most important ones. Those five became our main focus areas; the rest, Amber explained with a smile, we had to avoid. Groans filled the room, as it pained us to set aside the other 20 dreams and projects.

It’s become clear how powerful this exercise is in getting shit done. When you force yourself to focus on less things, more energy and better effort can go toward them. Looking at my original list, I’ve crossed off three items already! And the beauty of the exercise is, when you cross an item off the small list, you can pull over an item from your original list of 25.

One goal I set was to have my writing published in another blog or website that has a circulation of 10s of 1000s of readers. Today, I’m happy to see my story up on Revolution.is:

Check out ‘Fall in love with life’ here.

Huge thanks to Amber Rae and Vivek Mayasandra for believing in my writing, to Ben for proof reading and soul talking, and all of you for being my cheerleaders. I’m seeing my dreams come true, and it all started with one little decision I made in December to leave my job.

With courage, love, and intensity,

Kristen
