Priorities

I have been a little more relaxed this year so far.

Last year was a mega stressful year, for various reasons, and I was always left chasing my tail and it made me feel awful and made the atmosphere in the house awful. Everything had become a chore, blogging, crafting, doing things as a family everything.

At the end of last year I stopped everything. I stopped blogging, I stopped working and I just concentrated on myself, Baba, Mr L and things in the house and I had great fun. I felt better, I could literally feel the stress leave my body and I began to feel so much better.

This year I have decided to carry that on, I don’t need the stress of feeling that I have to do things. As this means that I get nothing done, I am never productive and all I do is get stressed.

What I need to do is sort out my priorities. My family is the main priority and I don’t have a huge amount of time with Baba, he is at preschool and at his Nannies houses lots in the week and I am not going to take either of them away from him, so that leaves Baba and I a couple of afternoons and a morning together and we are going to enjoy them. September will soon be on top of us and he will be going into the big wide world of school five days a week, so these last few months we are going to enjoy these times. Whether that is outside, inside, crafting, watching films, or baking but the computer will be off and we will be having fun. That is my biggest priority.

I also want to be making sure that I am not attached to the computer all day every day, which is difficult when I run my business online. But I am making a real effort to be turning it off at times during the week and not just with Baba but also to spend time with Mr L.

But my next biggest priority is Scrapbookerry, that is my business, that is how I bring money into our family and to be honest I really let it slide last year. I had so many plans and not one of them happened. So this year is the year that I really concentrate on Scrapbookerry. I have been working hard over on it, and am seeing progress all ready. The trick now is to work out a system and to keep it going. But so far so good and I am happy with what I am doing!

I feel much happier that I feel like I am once again for a very long time in control of my life, and in control of the things that I am needing to do and how to do them.

Somethings are being put to one side and not so much of a priority I love blogging I wont stop, but I also have three. So I wont be here everyday but you know what it doesn’t matter I no longer have this awful feeling if I don’t blog. I will blog when I want there are more important things in the world and that is what I am finally beginning to realise, (taken me a while hasn’t it) it isn’t about doing everything and doing it badly it is about doing less things and doing them well!

So here is too a great year! Lets hope this lasts!
