I have a confession.
I did not reach my goal last week.
And I'm not happy with myself. I feel like I let myself down. I feel like I let you all down.
It was the first week, and maybe I was too ambitious. Actually, I know that I was too ambitious. And I got burnt out. This week, I will be a little more realistic.
Baby steps, Joelle. I just need to remember to take baby steps. And that I can't get it all done at once.
There was no way I could get an entire website up in one week. I am busy right now.
Very, very busy.
It's nobody's fault but my own. I know that. I'm the one who feels the need to entertain friends and cook dinner and bake cupcakes on a regular basis. I'm the one who decided to start {and keep up} a blog. I'm the one who wants to write a book. And I'm the one who dreams of starting her own event planning business.
{I'm not the one who decided that I needed to work 40 hours a week to make a living...}
I want to try it again. But this week, I can't work on marketing and building a website anymore right now. Like I said, I'm burnt out.
This week, I am going to work on making myself happy.
This week, I am going to dedicate an hour everyday to myself.
I can't tell you right now what I will be doing in that hour. I might go shopping {though I won't buy anything, don't worry Robert}. I might start a new book. I might spend an hour reading my long, long, list of blogs that I subscribe to {I rarely never get through all of the posts in a day}. I might just waste sixty minutes on Pinterest.
Whatever I do, I'm doing because it's necessary for my sanity. And I'm really looking forward to it.
I hope you all take some time for yourself this week.
