Do you have too many open tabs in your brain?

Are you the person who has a million tabs open in your web browser at once?

Do you ever feel like that’s exactly what your brain looks like?

Same here. 

The entire month of September, I looked at my life, habits, and circumstances with “simply soulful” eyes.

If you don’t know what this means, every month I choose a theme for the month and I use that theme as my north star.

By the way, if you find this a little whacky, you’re not alone!

Funny story, our five fingers were hanging out in our living room talking about something. I can’t remember what it was.

But I said something like “oh, yes, we should do that. That’s perfect for Simply Soulful September.”

My husband glances at me, then at the kids, and with his dry tone says replies, “No one talks like that, Caro.”  

Orlando cracks me up because he knows I’m so quirky and he’s always making fun of me for it … but I know I plant seeds in his head and he’ll be doing something and suddenly think, “this is simply soul-full” 
The whole dynamic makes our marriage so fun. (by the way, if you haven’t read our 17 Tips for a Bliss-Full Marriage, I share tips to create this kind of dynamic in your relationships.)

I digress.

The point is, the simply soul-full September theme was an invitation to slow down your life …and that invitation sparked a realization for me …

It’s hard to slow down and savor life when you feel you have too many tabs open in your brain.

Those tabs are what I call open loops.

Every open loop is a decision, task, or project that is pending and consuming your energy.

Even if you try to ignore the loop — its lingering nature soaks up energy.

That’s why the theme I chose for October is …

Close the Loop October.

October often feels like the part of the roller-coaster ride where the suspense and anticipation before the big drop builds. (The big drop being the Holiday season).

Wouldn’t it feel great if you could close all those energy sucking pending loops now before you’re in the chaos of parties, traveling, and end-of-year planning?

That’s what I’m talking about in this week’s podcast episode.

This episode is going to light you up and help you be way more productive!

I’d love for you to write back to me and let me know your takeaways from this one.

With love and intention.
