Part II: Turning off your business brain

Earlier I shared that for the first time ever, I’ve been able to turn off my business brain for the holidays.

I’ve meditated for years which helps, but my mind is always racing with business ideas.

This morning I saw a funny headline that may explain why it’s getting harder to turn off the noise.

2023: The longest decade

It’s estimated that 328.77 million terabytes of data are created each day.

According to WordStream, 500 hours of content is uploaded to YouTube every minute, and one billion hours of content are watched every day.

No wonder we feel overwhelmed.

2023 was a challenging year for me.

In September 2022, I spoke at a conference in Denver and returned home with a mild case of COVID.

No fever or aches.

Just a few days of sniffles.

For months, I had severe fatigue, brain fog, and even memory loss.

I was forced to slow down, which scared me at first.

Memory loss scared me even more.

I’ve been going full speed ahead my entire career so slowing down is challenging.

The aftereffects of COVID forced me to adjust my business and my life.

My mother suffered from dementia, so I had plenty of incentive to figure this out.

Overcoming the brain fog and memory loss became my #1 priority in 2023.

After spending hundreds of hours researching brain health and testing solutions, I feel like an expert.

I’m feeling so much better and I have a daily routine that will keep me on track.

As we head into 2024, my business will continue to evolve, but my health and family will be my top priorities.

My goal is not to be everything to everybody, which is a huge problem for me.

I’m simplifying my business and my life.

Stay tuned…
