Coaching Corner: How Much is Too Much?

Coaching Corner: How Much is Too Much?

Dec 29, 2023

By Marilou Butcher Roth, Master Coach

Well, it has happened!  I am looking in my closet and am realizing that I have reached a limit that surprises me.  The reality is that I have way too much in there and its time to purge!  The good news is the timing, what a wonderful time of year to eliminate what I no longer find useful in my life.  Actually, if I am being honest, there is too much in several areas of my home.  It is interesting when you think about how much we, as consumers, bring into our homes, versus how much goes out!  No comparison!

My rationale is always interesting and often entertaining when thinking about why I am choosing to keep this or that.  I am awesome at justifying my choice, and yet now it feels far more important to let some things go.  Dare I say that I am actually excited to begin this process? 

How about you?  What can you eliminate to prepare for the new year?  In case you haven’t been monitoring the calendar, it will be 2024 in three days, so now is the time to jump on it! Be discerning and also be kind to yourself.  It’s easy to beat yourself up for not eliminating sooner.  It’s all good, today is a great time to begin.

Happy New Year!  I wish you all a healthy, joyful and prosperous new year!
