Get Some Sleep And Eat Something Healthy ~ NOW!
As you are on the home stretch for Christmas this week and likely trying to do it with the kids home from school, chances are things are getting a bit nutty for you. Or at least they are for me and I am hoping that I am not alone in this. It has been a great holiday season here at the Hartnett house, probably one of our best ever with just having fun celebrating with people that we enjoy and getting to do some fun things, but the reality is that even with all of that fun, real life still happens which means Gary and I still need to go to work and the house needs to be maintained, etc. Add to that the fact that I have been living on a diet of Christmas cookies and red wine the last 2 weeks means that this week the wheels started to come off. (Just a wee bit
)
I couldn’t figure out why I was getting short tempered, tired, my skin is breaking out and worst of all, my pants are getting tight! What the heck, no one told me there were calories in these cookies. I thought that was one of the miracles of Christmas. Christ was born and we could eat and drink whatever we wanted for a month without any adverse effects. Hmmm, apparently I was misinformed on the second miracle.
When I get like this, I start thinking that drastic measures need to be taken and surely I must need to rework my entire life because my current plan of action has failed miserably. Come on, I know you have been there. We can all admit to a class we have taken or book we have bought or something else that we have done that was SURELY going to have the answer and turn it all around for us.
Well, I am here to tell you that sometimes all you need is a good nights sleep, a great workout in the morning a full day of not eating any junk food. Chances are that will do more than anything else to get you back on track. So I know that you are making your list and checking it twice to ensure that the holiday is perfect for those around you, but make sure that you enjoy it too. Commit to getting a good nights sleep tonight and see how that makes you feel in the morning.

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…
Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
