What NYR's?

It's day 27 in 2015 and I'm making little progress on the NYR front. Now, this could be like most of the population (slowly raise your hand if you're with me). But I get the feeling it's something else.

I am accomplished in many regards, but a hiccup on the life plan last year threw me off course. That one unfortunate event opened the door to many other events... and in the wake of it all shaking out, I asked myself "Where am I? And how do I get back on track?"

Enter 2015: new year, new resolutions, and fresh new start, right? In some regards, yes! My marriage is doing better than ever before.  My business is building, with other entrepreneurial pursuits in the works. I'm being a better mom in terms of being present for my 4-year old daughter. All should be well. 

Except, well, it isn't. Inside I feel the weight of this never ending task list that I can't seem to get on top of.  The life I have envisioned seems close... just not here yet. Seems like the littlest things feel overwhelming. How can i accomplish my life goals if I struggle with the small stuff?  

In my web browsing (read: procrastination) I came across an article online entitled LIFE AUDIT.  It's a process of defining goals, assessing progress, and setting deadlines.  More structured than NYRs. And so, what's one more task? I'm aiming to docu-blog the remainder of 2015 as I work through my life audit, finding my way back on track for the life I envision living. Thanks for being a part of this journey. More details to come.
