After a few days pondering what freedom means to me my thoughts mostly keep coming back to the things that hold me back in life. My constraints, the opposite of freedom. I want to be free from the things that I feel hold me back.
So what are my constraints…
Alcohol- I drink far too often and I lost time, money and moments.
Finance- while we are fairly comfortable I would like to have more financial freedom, especially in regard to semi retiring or early retirement.
Time- I always feel like I am rushing. Rushing to get to the next activity, meeting. Never really enjoying the moment, always thinking about the next thing.
Thoughts- seems weird to have come up with this as a constraint. But I realise I spend so much time thinking about certain things. Things that occupy far too much brain space. I often spend more time thinking about something than actually doing it. Those tasks that take 5 minutes but you actually spend far longer than that revisiting it in your head.
So as we head into Winter here in New Zealand I am going to revisit these constraints and work on become free from them. Hmmm a Winter without alcohol, how much time and money I will save.
