Do you ever have one of those days where from the moment you wake up you feel that you are being pulled in several different directions, you have more things to do than hours in the day to do them, and you just want to go back to bed, pull the covers over your head, and try it again the next day?
Today is one of those days for me.
Our mantra has always been, “There is no such thing as a journal emergency.”
We both have the tendency to lose perspective of this at times and get caught up in the whirl and spin of orders needing to ship, journals needing to be made, and our customers needing to be put first.
When this happens, our breathing is shallow, our bodies are tight,
and our minds get stuck in the chaos.
and our minds get stuck in the chaos.
And then we remember our mantra – we remember why we started our company – we remember that we choose to live the positive and reflective messages that we are putting into the world – we remember that everything happens in the exact right time.
We remember that we are human.
And so are you.
If you are feeling at all overwhelmed and stressed and wonder how you will ever get it all done – take a moment today and just breathe. Take a moment and sit with yourself. Remember that you are only given what you can handle. You are only one person and you do everything in the perfect way at the perfect time.
Take a deep breath. And then another one.
And then mindfully go through each task one by one.
i love this post–i had my own custom hand made, hand painted ceramic tile company for many years and sometimes people were really out of control…i had to really sit back and remind myself there was no such thing as a tile emergency…no one was going to starve, freeze, burn up or die because their little squares weren't on their backsplash…it was good to remember and helped me get a lot more done than when i was stressed out about things out of my control…so thanks for the reminder!

Mary – This post made me laugh because I have had these same thoughts about our journals many times! It's great to put it all in perspective, isn't it?
LoveandLust- So glad you liked our post! I'm super glad you're here!
Nicely said. We need to remember we are all human.
