That feeling like there is no way you can get done the mountain of paperwork, or write another 20 chapters, or paint 4 more commissions......
We have all been there, under that mountain of work and commitments with no way out.
I have been feeling that myself lately.
Yesterday I was feeling the pity party coming and I was looking for someone to tell how bad it was and listen to me whine because I had too much to take care of. One problem, no one was around to attend my party and listen to my excuses, when I realized "wait a minute, I did this myself, no one forced me to take on all of this."
That's when it hit me that I had invited all of this work and challenge. That's when it hit me that I needed the challenge and I needed to find a way through this. I started to take everything apart and put it into order and worked through the stacks.
This was an eye opener for me into my own ways and means.
I really started to examine all areas of my life and I started to see the pattern. I always pushed myself and got myself in situations because I felt I had to be up against the wall to accomplish anything. I have come to realize that I don't need to live like this, I can take control of my business and my finances and my creative endeavours without letting myself get backed into a corner every month with something new pushing me to me limits.
I have taken the first step, I realized I don't want nor need to live this way.
You don't need to live that way or run your business that way either. I took the first step, now I am moving on to the next and the next. But first I have to clean up this mess once and for all, then I can stop living this way, and I am looking forward to not having this stress, and guess what you do not need it!
