I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I was thinking about this concept that I heard years ago, frankly, everyone has some version of it.  But for me, it’s Three to Thrive.  It was written on my 2021 goals that I revisited this past week as I am planning for 2022.   

Three to Thrive.  What are the three things I want to focus on to feel like I am personally thriving in my life.  So not work tasks, but how I am living my intentional life.  

My three-to-thrive are pretty simple.  

First, I wake up early for my power hour (you can learn more about that in episode 199).  This includes time for writing and creative work when I am most inspired and productive first thing in the morning. And, it usually includes a little self care and a quick review of my calendar before the children wake, because I have a more productive and peaceful day when I start this way. 

Second, I focus on mind-work every day because the value exponentially outweighs the time. This I’m still trying to get the hang of.  If I’m being honest, I didn’t focus on this in 2020 or 2021, the pandemic got the better of me.  But in 2022, this is a three-to-thrive that I am intentionally reviving. 

Third, I drink half my body weight in water every day because it is important to my health. I’m not a water drinker, so I need this to be top of mind. 

This year, I’ll be writing my three-to-thrive in my 2022 planner so that I can revisit this often and commit to what matters most to me.
