Sarah Sesh: Mindset

To kick off season 3, I share six mindset practices I've been working on to lay the foundation for the new year and help reduce Instagram stress and comparison: 

1. Set priorities to act with confidence and intention
2. Create a "pat yourself on the back list"
3. Write down projects and ideas that make you excited
4. For the things you don't love doing but need to, brainstorm ways to make them more fun
5. Make a one-page year-at-glance overview
6. Plan some getaways, some time away, time with flower friends, and time with non-flower friends

Fall has been a real time of reflection for me, and I'm hoping to use the things I've been working on for my mindset to fuel a flowery year that is connected to my priorities. Before diving into my boxes of seed packets, or buying any dahlia tubers, I wanted to take a step back and get my priorities straight first, and have everything else flow from there. We as flower growers and florists plan so far in advance that I didn't want to let this year rule me - but rather want to move with intention and confidence on a track that aligns with my personal and professional priorities.

I walk through each of the six steps I took to try to get my mind right for the coming year, and would love to hear from you about what works best for you, and if you try any of these what came up for you. You can reach out by email to sarah@growgirlseattle.com, or message me on Instagram at @flowerfriendspodcast or @growgirlseattle. 

Wishing you a very happy new years, and will be back with more "Sarah Sessions" soon - with best-of lists, recommendations, and more. Thanks for listening!
