New Year's Hopes and Wishes

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes,
​including you." Anne LaMotte

I love that quote by Anne Lamotte and I think it's true. Do you have times were you just feel too tired to keep going and yet you do? Yeah, me, too. Why we do that? Why not take a break now & then? We are no good to ourselves or anyone else when we are exhausted. 

As you know, I am working my way up my New Year's Hopes/Wishes. I am now at number 3, which is 'it's ok to rest". If you want to read the whole post, you can go here to read it now. That post was about what we choose to focus on.

I am going to start scheduling free time in my day; otherwise, I will fill every waking moment with work. The thing is, I love my work - I love making jewelry and I love connecting with people about the jewelry. That makes it a little harder to take breaks but I am determined to find some balance in my life. 

Now that the Better Tomorrow Collection is complete, it's easier to schedule a little down time.  For awhile there, I was designing, making, marketing, etc. and it seemed to just go on & on. 

I am taking Friday afternoons off and I will be a better person for it!  How about you? How can you find time to slow down a little bit? I could love to hear your thoughts!
