The Parking Lot
I learned of this idea from Ange Peters when I went through her Beautiful Life Lab in 2018-2019. The parking lot is where you put allll of your ideas. Do you have a lot of ideas? I have a lot of ideas ALOT. So much so that I can overwhelm myself with all the things that I want to do. What happens, then, is overwhelm. I see my huge list and like a large pile of laundry, I can turn around and walk away. The Parking Lot is a nice place to store all of my ideas and thoughts as they come into my consciousness. I take a regular look at the Parking Lot to determine what needs to stay there in that parking lot and what needs to keep moving into the next week. Personally, I have trouble letting go of my ideas and my tasks … somewhere in my brain I want to do it all. Psychologically, I see that I try to prove … '“see look at all the things” … I couldn’t possibility do more work!” Well, that’s bullshit. I can't do it all, but I can decide what I want to take action on now. The weekly review helps me mitigate my overwhelmed feelings and reminds me that I can take action on anything I choose. Its very empowering.

Then the Hard Work begins.
Mapping your week so that you are working towards the things that are most important to you. Personally, this is where I see my own resistance, fear and limiting beliefs. Here is a good place to note the importance of enlisting a good therapist, coach, or spiritual director - or all 3. We all have stuff that holds us back, that wants to keep us small and compliant with the current status quo. If you notice a block, a limiting belief (a lie), talk it out, change it up, get some perspective. Utilize your journal and then review it for patterns. Friends, we get a short amount of time to live our precious lives - don’t waste it on creating ruts for yourself. If you want to do something - do it. You may need help clearing the path.
