Work/Life Balance

Like I mentioned yesterday, a new work life and daily schedule lies ahead for me. Although already in full effect, I am making adjustments on how I approach my days. Obviously I need to get things done, especially as a small business owner, but I feel like doing so differently that I do now.

I plan to start every day with positive affirmations and meditation so I can set the tone for the day of ease and with clarity. Basically I need to remind myself things will get done without me going crazy for planning so hardcore. This is partly due to me being very organized and I like to get checks on my lists, but I recognize a pattern where I run myself down. Then I have to recoup and rest, only to feel slightly better and start all over. I absolutely burn my candle at both ends and it is exhausting to live such a way.

Our business plan is evolving in exciting ways so I want to be focused and intentional but also balanced and enjoying the now. I have some developing thoughts on the expression "work smarter, not harder" I will continue to flesh out and I'll share thoughts as I go.

Work/Life balance is no joke.

Let's meet again,

How I Holiday Decor

I love some holiday decor. It's fun to mix and match consistent pieces for it and and exciting to switch out the ones that have their set calendar time. Like my pumpkins for example. I have a set of them that are used for spooky purposes first, then for grateful hearts right after. Let the record show exhibits ... A and A.5: Halloween goodness Turkey Day decor Also, let the record show further exhibits of love for Halloween decorating: B: Witch, please C: Even the tissues have monsters on them Oh and D: Roni hates us, Pepper giggles, we take far too many pictures of this.

Happy beginning of the end of year holiday season and decorating to you and yours! Until we me

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w
