Why I created Your Precious Seconds

My first ever post on Substack...It's so nice to be here : )

Oh hi there,

I’m Jo, it’s really nice to meet you. I hope that you’re having an amazing start to the new year and that this is the year that you make all your dreams come true.

Since turning 40 I’ve been thinking a lot about time. I don’t know if it’s age related or since having children, but for the past year or so I’ve really started to notice how quickly time seems to be passing by and it’s really quite scary. It’s made me want to make sure that I’m using my own precious seconds carefully and with full intention rather than missing important milestones and just dwindling through life.

I just want to be more present. I want to yes to the right things for me rather than conform and say yes because I have to. I want to create memories and enjoy life to the fullest and create routines that make sense and stop those that don’t. I want to end the extra mundane tasks and only do the necessary and I want to be more creative, put a great big tick next to the dreams and goals that are on my never ending to-do list and spend as much time with my family as possible. And most of all, I want to have fun and laugh a lot each and every single day.

I’ll be sharing my journey and experiences through this season of my life and would so love for you to join me.

This is my first EVER Substack post and it’s a little bit, I don’t know how to explain it, but maybe daunting or even nerve wracking… but it’s done now so, let’s see how this goes!

And just a sweet reminder that this is our year of endless opportunities guys, let’s do this : )

Thank you for spending some of your precious seconds here today, I really appreciate it.

Until next week,

Jo, Your Precious Seconds 😊
