Why Harmony is my Theme for 2024

My second theme for 2024 is HARMONY.

I want to feel a sense of HARMONY between my personal, family, social and professional lives.

Some might call this ‘work-life balance’, but for me, balance implies equal weight on all sides. Whereas ‘harmony’ feels more like the different parts of my life complementing each other in a peaceful, uplifting way. One can dream, hey?!

Well, I got off to a good start last week. The mums in my New Parents Group arranged a catch up for the first time. But on the day, the timing just did not line up! I had plennny of work to do, my dad was arriving soon to help out with my bub Malia, and Malia had just fallen asleep for a much-needed nap!

But I realised it was important to me to catch up with these mamas. To nurture these new connections with women who could so relate to my feelings of apprehension, all-consuming love and bewilderment as a new mum.

So I put a beaming Malia in the car, chatted excitedly with the mums and bubs for an hour, and returned to work feeling energised, clear-headed and happy. It was sooo worth the extra effort. Yay for personal/social/professional Harmony!

Harmony won’t happen every day or week. So let’s celebrate when it does!

When do you feel harmony in your life? 💗
