Lately I’ve been in a bit of a funk. \u00a0It came on after a few weeks of some really big wins both professionally and personally. \u00a0It felt like things were happening, all the life changes I had made were panning out and giving me the confidence that I had made the right decision, that yes, this new journey of building, designing, creating a new brand, and career was all going to work out.<\/p>\n
And then everything slowed down, and over the past 2 weeks a few meeting were pushed backed, orders slowed, and the crazy business of the past few weeks had came to a halt. \u00a0Which admittedly in the moment of the long days that so frequently turned into early mornings that was all I wanted but now that the slowness is here the self-doubt, and questioning begins to creep in and while I know this is part of the normal ebb\u00a0and flow of anything in life it doesn’t make weathering it any easier or more enjoyable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But today I made a decision. \u00a0That while business is\u00a0slow, I will work on me. \u00a0Pursuing this dream wasn’t the only reason I left corporate America, I left for a better quality of life. \u00a0So today while business is slow I am committing time to my wellness both physically and mentally, cleaning out the closets that I’ve been wanting to clean for God knows how long, making a meal plan, making time to draw new prints and designs for CRD<\/a>, taking the dog for a walk, scheduling lunch with a friend, and bettering ME.<\/p>\n So while the questions and the self-doubt will still creep in, the “me”\u00a0time\/improvements\u00a0will hopefully make them a little quieter and a side note rather than the headline of my current story.<\/p>\n Photo via Donut Snob<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lately I’ve been in a bit of a funk. \u00a0It came on after a few weeks of some really big wins both professionally and personally. \u00a0It felt like things were happening, all the life changes I had made were panning out and giving me the confidence that I had made the right decision, that yes, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2358,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-motherhood","category-small-buisness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1707"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3140,"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1707\/revisions\/3140"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlierowandesigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
