Finally figuring it out.

I'm not a total believer in astrology, but sometimes you hear things that make sense or just hit home. That's exactly what happened the other day when I had a talk show playing in the background on the tv and the host was talking about astrological signs. My ears perked up when they talked about Libras. They said something about Venus and the moon lining up, blah blah, but what I ended up hearing was that the way things are lining up, Libras are going to finally start figuring out what they want in life.

So true.

I am having one of the best years of my life and I think it's because I'm finally figuring out what I want in life and what matters most. I'm in my late twenties, and just now learning how to prioritize time for myself. This is time to put into my appearance to put my best foot forward, time to put into taking care of my health so I feel better, time to decompress and unwind. How is it as busy, working Moms we just 'forget' to give ourselves a moment? 

I'm realizing what is the biggest priority in my life, too. Do I need to chase all around trying to keep up with friends? No. Do I need to seem superficial approval from people who don't really know me? No. All that matters to me right now is the happiness of my family. If I can provide genuine, life long, joyful memories for myself, my husband and my son, then I fell like I have accomplished something. 

I've learned how to do certain things more efficiently {ie house cleaning} and cut certain time wasting activities down {ie Instagram and Pinterest} so that I don't get burned out and have more time to get down on the floor and play with my baby boy or go into the garage and help my husband with his race car. At the end of the day, isn't this what really matters more than endless updates online?

All in all, I truly just feel comfortable and confident to be me. I am proud of who I am and what I do, I am no longer scared to put myself out there and stand out a little bit, I can take chances and try new things, get outside my comfort zone achieve more than I ever dreamed possible. 

Maybe all the Libras out here are feeling a similar sensation...but I truly hope all of us can feel this way sometime soon. 

Just confident. Just comfortable. Just content.

It's all about the simple things when leading a Little Life.
