Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel like someone drove you through an automatic car wash with the windows down? I'm talking about a day when you have so many things rushing through your mind that you don't even know where to start.
I feel this way quite often. I have so many ideas for books or art that I end up working on nothing because I don't even know where to start. We've got to start somewhere. I was talking with someone today that said they had a million excuses as to why they weren't able to write a book but they decided they had to sit down and start somewhere. Yes, yes we do! We've got to start somewhere. Last month, no wait it's May now, so two months ago my husband and I launched a business Teddyfly. (www.teddyfly.com). Originally, we launched the business to sell books and artwork that I have worked on, maybe even dabble in some furniture projects. But, I am realizing that there's probably more to it. If I dwell on the 'more to it' I'll get overwhelmed so typically I will sit down and start working on this one book project or this one piece of artwork. Life can be overwhelming when we are trying to do everything. I've got a lot of creative venues that I pour into. But I cannot do them all at once. I've got to take things one day at a time. Set goals and work toward them one day at a time. I am learning to accept that things may not happen overnight but they will happen. Two years ago, I would have never guessed I would be owning a business and selling books full time but here I am. On day one, it was a far off silly dream and yet here I am still walking it out one day at a time. What things do you need to take one day at a time?
