Refreshed after Spiritual Travel

I write a blog about travel for women twice a week. I often talk about destinations that are spiritual and places that can reawaken you and reenergize you. That place for me is Hawaii. I spent 11 days there towards the end of January and it was exactly what I needed. Time to reconnect with the Earth and become one with nature. I needed to be reminded of what is important in this all consuming World of social media, internet, money and running around like crazy people. I needed to be shown that you do not have to live like that to be happy! And I needed some soul searching time to realize what I really want out of life and what will make me happy. It worked, I came home feeling refreshed, calm and happy! Three days later, I am starting to see the old reactions, emotions and fears creep up - like that little voice that tells me I cannot do it, I am crazy, I am too late to the game.

I will not listen. I will spend each day remembering my moments in Hawaii and putting that newfound energy and excitement towards my personal goals. And remembering that each of us are special in our own way - before all of the success, notability and money gets in the way!

It is a new year and I am still lost

We are 6 days into the New Year and I feel lost and unsure of things. I am currently missing CES - the biggest show of the year for the industry that I actually know - and I a missing opportunities to be in front of media and companies that I could potentially get new work from! But why do I care - this is not my dream job, party of my new blog goal, nothing, but yet I feel sad and down that I am not there. I feel down that I am spending the first week of the New Year in my house. I have not left for 4 days. Granted, I am a bit sick which is keeping my energy down, but this is just not who I am and what makes me feel like a whole person.

I think I need an attitude adjustment. How do I do this?
