Definitely feeling this sweater and proud of myself for finally completing something for ME!
Okay. Real talk.
Life has been a bit crazy lately between starting to build our new house, starting a new job and changing daycare for the kiddos, so I’ve taken a bit of a breather from this account. But now that things are settling down, I can tell I’m in a better mental space because I’m craving getting back in to knitting. Not for business, not for sales, but for me.
One thing I’ve discovered about myself over the years is that I have a tendency to stretch myself too thin. I set these high expectations for myself and then have a very hard time stopping or saying “no” because I feel like I’m failing.
But the interesting part is what am I failing? Myself? The abnormally high expectations and things I’ve taken on so excessively to the point that I’ve lost the joy of the hobby?
Not at all.
What I am doing is listening to myself and what I truly need. And recently it happened to be a mental break from my little side gig.
It’s definitely hard to change the way I think, especially after (almost) 32 years, but it’s getting easier to understand what I need and to know that I’m proud of myself for even trying and putting myself out there.
I hope you’re all proud of yourselves and what you’ve been able to accomplish.
