I’ve been riding the emotional roller coaster this week. For example, yesterday I had my last shift caring for a client who is moving. I was sad all night. This morning I woke up in a full-blown panic attack over my decision to try to replace the income by expanding my quilting business. This afternoon I’m feeling happy and excited about finally having the time to work on my business. Life is not boring.
I think that the key to maintaining my sanity right now is to keep moving. Not in a frenzy, but deliberately. I’ve learned over the years that inertia is so much more dangerous than making mistakes.
I’m aware of the need to be careful with my time. I’m figuring out how that will work. It doesn’t look like what I would expect. When I’m tired I lay on the couch. Five minutes later I jump up, inspired for the next step in my current project. Paying attention to what I need in any moment is the best use of my time.
I worry when I look at the larger economy, but the universe is conspiring to urge me on this path. This morning I firmed up details for another custom order I got yesterday. Later, my physical therapist told me how she found that eventually one had to make the leap to spend time on a business for it to grow. The most encouraging sign of the day was the feeling I got from working on a sewing project. I’m making something beautiful and unique that the recipient will love. What better use of my time could there be?
