New month, new positive changes

And just like that we’re officially in September. Q3 is coming to an end. Football is just about back. And the S&P 500 is on a another 7 month high streak.

Everything seems to be firing on all cylinders. My brokerage (and bank account) is growing. Secfi is doing as best as ever. My career growth has been better than ever. Personally, I’ve caught up with old friends and have a lot of chances to travel.

It would appear that everything has been all fun and games lately, but candidly I haven’t been feeling great. I wrote a bit about this on Monday and figured I was just exhausted after a long weekend. But after doing a lot more meditating and introspection, I’ve come to realize that this has been a trend for the year now.

I’ve been more tired than ever. I haven’t been feeling that healthy or great overall. I can imagine there’s multiple factors contributing to this including stress, lack of sleep, travel, etc. But the overarching theme is that I need to slow things down and get more time away to rest.

Life has been moving really fast over the last year. Event after event. Work goal after work goal. I’ve now conditioned myself to always be on thinking about that next thing. It’s not healthy and it’s not sustainable.

It’s a new month now and it’s as good of a time to make positive changes.
