👉🏼Not having a plan for each season.�Candles sell better during autumn and winter, and I know now that I didn’t prepare enough in advance. Times like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day can get busy, but I was never ready for them. I was creating things along the way, and that cost me. Sometimes I got very stressed… and still had no sales.
👉🏼Wanting to do too much when my son wasn’t going to nursery yet.�Because I was at home with him most of the time, I often had the desire to take my candle supplies out and start pouring. I had so many ideas and felt frustrated that I couldn’t act on them. I should have been more patient and planned my days better for the moments when my husband could help.
👉🏼Not resting when my body asked for it.�I kept pushing myself during the day, even though I wasn’t resting properly at night.
👉🏼Not knowing how to organise my time once he started nursery.�Suddenly I had more time, but I didn’t know what to do with it. It was like my mind froze.
👉🏼Not talking enough about my products.�I’m naturally shy. I wouldn’t talk about my candles, why they’re special, why they can be a long-lasting gift, or the fact that I use clean ingredients. Not on social media, and not even in the shop where I rented a shelf. I just didn’t want to “bother anyone.”
👉🏼Putting too much pressure on myself.�I wanted more workshops, more candles, more sales, more clients, more courses… like it was never enough.
👉🏼Not fully enjoying the moments I had.�I had amazing people coming to my workshops, and because I was so stressed, I didn’t know how to slow down and appreciate what I had actually created.

Creating this post made me so emotional, I remember every person that entered the workshop room and the connections that have been created. Candle workshops are a good way of mindfulness 🧘🏻‍♀️ it helps you stay focused and present. Or for some is a way of reconnecting with their friends 🥺 I am sure you will not forget the experience and every time you pass by that piece of work you will remember that day and smile. 😊
