Seasons Change: Change With Them

I was walking down one of my favorite walking paths this week and I couldn’t help but notice that yes indeed fall has arrived to Indiana.

I love fall in Indiana as it is full of warm days and beautiful colors. What I don’t like so much is the season afterwards. I am not a fan of winter, yet I can’t stop it coming. The changing of the seasons will happen whether I want them to or not.

The change however will go more smoothly if I embrace it. I can embrace it better when I can dwell on the positive instead of the negative.

And that is how we need to approach life too. We need to be always willing to adapt and to change to whatever season of life we find ourselves in.

Right now I am needing to adapt. I have been struggling more than normal  lately to balance blogging with homeschooling, keeping up my home, my marriage, my friendships, and my health.

I need to adapt but I have been wrestling as to what to let go of.  My problem is I am a very routine person, and once I get stuck in a routine I don’t like changing it.

I had a blog review a few months back , and they showed me my traffic from when I began blogging  to now and from it showed me what posts  get viewed again and again and they are all my step by step detailed posts. These are the posts, you my readers love and I want to provide them for you. I want to help you in the areas you need most, and if detail helps you, I want to provide detail.

Problem: Detailed posts take time.

Solution: Stop posting as often.  After waring with my routine self for months I have finally decided to stop posting as often.

I am also going to work at getting up earlier to work more hours before the rest of the family awakes. Of course, I am inching back into this as I am still struggling with low iron levels, which are causing me to need more sleep. However, those levels are slowly rising, and I plan to get to bed earlier so I can still sleep as many hours as my body needs.

I hope that this new writing schedule and getting up earlier will allow me to give you more of the in depth posts you love.

I hope sharing these changes with you will inspire you to take steps to manage your time more effectively as well. If you are feeling out of control, like every area of your life is never done as well as your like, I encourage you to take some time this week to really think about what things you can let go of to make more time for those areas that are priorities to you. And if you are a routine lover like me, don’t be afraid to try a new routine, you can always return to the old one if the new one fails to work, but give it at least a 6 to 8 weeks first.
