"You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine." "If your habits don't line up with your dream, then you need to either change your habits or change your dream."
I love these quotes from John Maxwell, a best-selling author and leadership coach. Our habits have a direct impact on who we’re becoming and where we will end up in life. I’ve seen this to be so true in my own life. Creating habits and systems that automate how I get the things I want (and need) to get done around my house has made my life so much easier.
Three habits that keep my life running smoothly 90% of the time (let's be real, no one is perfect):
-Leaving the kitchen clean before going to bed at night. Starting off the day with a fresh clean kitchen makes every day better. -My weekly house cleaning routine. -Meal planning and weekly grocery orders.
Habits and systems that support you in running your home frees up your mental space, allowing you to focus on the things in life that are much more important: spending time with the people you love and doing the things you truly enjoy. Perhaps it's being fully present to play with those little ones running around, or finding the time and energy to head out on a hike or going to the beach.
Are your current habits supporting and helping you to live the kind of life you dreamed that you would have?
If they aren’t supporting you then it’s up to you… Change your habits or change your dreams. I don’t know about you, but for instance, I’d sure rather change my habits than change my dreams of becoming a Mama who exudes patience and kindness, who enjoys spending time with my kiddo, making wonderful memories full of adventures and giggles, who is present in the moment instead of focused on cleaning and that never ending to-do list.
Listen my friend, there’s no space here for shame or guilt if who you are today doesn’t match who you dreamed that you would be. There is, however, space for change and baby steps forward so that one day in the not-to-distant future, you wake up and realize you ARE living your dream. I believe that a handful of small but significant changes in the way you are currently living can catapult you towards becoming the person that you truly want to be. With the right support anything is possible!

I’ve got lots of tips and tricks to help you get habits into place to make running your home a little easier, so that you can spend more of your time and energy focusing on the things that truly matter to you and enjoying this one beautiful life you’ve been given.
