Years ago I would have fought my desire to rest and judged it as procrastination. Often procrastination can be a trauma response, especially when it comes to money goals and why self discipline actually doesn't work in that case.
All in Self care and Setting boundaries
Increased Support Leads to Increased Success
This is why I am often part of business masterminds, have a team for Wealthy Money, the #MoneyMagic student group and course (I am a student of my work), I have different coaches for different aspects of my life, a fitness trainer and even a chef.

On Making Ourselves Invisible So We Can Fit In
Furaya Joyce says, "Stop shrinking yourself to fit places you've outgrown."
I can't get this quote out of my mind and I keep thinking about how we sabotage ourselves financially to fit people and places we’ve outgrown:

*Countries
*Romantic relationships

How are you shrinking yourself to fit in something you have outgrown and how is it affecting your finances?
When we shrink ourselves, we make ourselves invisible so we can fit in.
