What I'm Working On Now

This is a 'Now' page. I love the idea of nownownow.com and so here it is!

The personal habits I'm focusing on

After struggling with getting back on track with my personal habits, I decided to practice what I preach and create ridiculously tiny habits that are impossible for my brain to find excuses for. Reading one page a day? I can't use the "I'm too busy today" card for that! 😉

• Meditate for 10 mins right after waking up
• Read 1 page
• Play 1 song on the piano

My business focus atm

• Create pre-recorded journaling sessions: Something I've been thinking about for a while now is to create pre-recorded journaling sessions you can purchase and watch at your own pace. I've been taking tech trainings with a dear friend / content manager to uplevel my video quality. Coming soon! In the meantime, journal with me for FREE on InsightTimer!

• Update the Peru Volunteer website: I've been updating and tweaking the services we offer at Peru Volunteer and the systems we use to receive volunteers in Cusco, Peru. Next up: the website needs a big update! I've hired my friend Alex for several clients of mine to update and troubleshoot their WordPress websites and add code where necessary, so I've been begging him to help me out here ;) Click here to learn more
• Enjoy my client work: Sometimes we are so focused on the next big thing, we forget to appreciate the NOW. I am so grateful for my current long-term clients and absolutely love every day I'm working with them 💛 One of them is even visiting me in Cusco next June, WOOHOO!

What I'm still not doing

• Singing 🥹 I've been gig-less for a while now, and I don't really know why. The political situation one year ago put a hold on everything, but somehow I haven't been able to jump back on the concerts-wagon ever since. Maybe I should just sing more on the podcast? 🤭

I'd like to push myself to ...

• Travel more: Honestly, I'm not taking enough advantage of the fact that I work online. I could literally work from anywhere, as long as there is a good internet connection. I'm a cozy Taurus who likes cocooning in her own home, so even though I love traveling, I need to push myself to actually organize myself and GO!

What I'm reading right now

• The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris: After my friend Balkan's passing, I strangely felt like enjoying life MORE. Life is short. People can step out of your life anytime. This book is helping me to focus on what brings me joy, and do more of that. Highly recommend!
