The first time I realized I could customize my life was when I chose to be sober curious.

I knew I didn’t want to be sober, but I didn’t want to drink all the time or have those hang-xiety mornings.

So sober curious it was - drinking on occasion.

This showed me:

I didn’t have to pick either extreme
I didn’t have to do what everyone else was doing
How incredibly empowering it was to live on your own terms

2+ years into being sober curious, it has given me the confidence to:

Start customizing other parts of my life
Unapologetically get super specific about how I want to spend my time

To name a few examples:

The house with minimal yard - because I don’t want to spend a lot of time on yard work right now
A business that is primarily marketed through writing, instead of video - because I know I would keep writing even if no one read it (can’t say the same with video)
A schedule with minimal travel - because I love my routine & would rather spend money on my home
A job that allows me to choose when I go to the office - because it provides the flexibility I need to become the well-rounded person I want to be

Things don’t have to be black or white, and there are more options than you way think!

An easy way to start customizing your life?

Each morning, take 5 mins to write down the super specific things you want and how you want your time spent.

Want a more organized way to go about it?

Identify the 3-5 sections of your life (health, family, job, etc.) and write specifically how you want each section to look.

But be careful - those things may just start happening, so start mentally preparing to make space for them :)
