Refresh and Renew in 2022

I’m not big on resolutions …but I am BIG on ways to refresh and renew my perspective with the start of a new year! So, here are 5 tips that help me stay organized, energized and inspired:

1. Time Block: To best ebb and flow between work, workouts, kid activities, household chores…use a planner! Create a custom planner to match your lifestyle at Purple Trail.
2. Clean & Purge: Clear the top of your desk, clean out your pantry and fridge, re-organize your garage, etc. If you need help moving and /or dumping items, call our friends at Junk It Move It.
3. Authenticize: Many of us maintain social profiles for connections and websites to support our businesses. When was the last time you updated your profile photo or background image? Do these reflect who you are TODAY? Does your website really tell your story and clearly state the service you provide? We love growing with our business and believe our online presence should too. So do a quick audit of your social and infuse the real you and your story as much as possible into it.
4. Be Bright: A new accent color can set the mood for any room in your home. So pack up the holiday decor and change the tone of your family room with new throw pillows or update your bedding. You don’t have to break the bank…a quick trip to Target or Home Goods for a new piece of art can start any room transformation!
5. Just Breathe: Get active or chill out! Pick one way to honor yourself each day. Go hike Del Valle, ride your bike through Sycamore, sit in stillness, sip some tea, or write in your journal. Take 10 minutes each day, uninterrupted to do something that fuels your soul. Take 30-60 minutes 3-5 times a week to energize your body with an activity you enjoy.

BONUS: I also make a vision board every year with images and words that typically reflect my goals. This year I’m changing it up by focusing on my state of mind and being. After all…the right mindset fuels success and leads me toward accomplishing goals without limiting myself.

Happy 2022!!!
