The Destination Myth: How to Get Unstuck

by mortgagefreebythesea on category ,

The destination myth is prevalent in today’s society. It leads us to believe that it’s the destination, and not the journey, that is important. As a result of this, once we reach our destination, it can leave us feeling stuck and underwhelmed.

During my journey to mortgage freedom there were times when I became caught up in the destination myth. It wasn’t a conscious choice, but because I was so focused on reaching the destination of being ‘mortgage free’ there were times when life slipped by in anticipation of the next paycheck and the dream of an idyllic future.

This week has seen me put the finishing touches to my creative side hustle, Chicken Roulette Press.

After a manic day at work, I’ve donned my business cap and got creative. The result is a freshly launched Twitter page and a selection of self-published books on Amazon.

I’m amazed to say that I’ve already made some sales (and that wasn’t just from the copy my Mum bought…although obviously she’s my number one fan!). And whilst the process of self-publishing has been a steep learning curve, it has also been incredibly fun!

Creating a Mindset of Abundance

by mortgagefreebythesea on category

Today has been perfect so far. I started the day with a blustery and rather soggy run along the coast. Followed by a visit to my family, where I ate far too much homemade ginger parkin – it was delicious! And I’ve changed the bedsheets so tonight I can snuggle into a cozy, clean bed. Life is feeling pretty abundant right now.

Some of you may be aware that I’m currently part of MamaFurFur’s Prosperity Accelerator Mastermind community. It’s been an amazing adventure and I’m learning so much, but one thing I never expected to be focusing on when I first signed up was having a mindset of abundance.
