Kat's 5 Step Plan to THRIVE - Not Just Survive

| Surviving |
Did you notice that this year we didn't hear much talk about
New Year’s resolutions? Could it be that people are already maxed out, carrying
enough burdens? It seems to me, a lot of us are barely coping with life as it
is. For many people the goal for next year is simply survival.
Surviving is something I’m very
familiar with.
I spent much of my life in survival mode; surviving a
lifelong battle with my weak immune system, the death of my mother when I was
not yet fourteen, a difficult home life after that. After I got married I had
multiple miscarriages, and we have a son with severe illness. I could go on,
but I think you get the idea. I know how to survive.
As writers many of us
face nearly impossible deadlines and a rigorous appearance and social media
schedule. It’s easy to lose our balance and slip into survival mode. But I want
to do more than just survive – I want to THRIVE.

high-octane lifestyle?
