And if I can blog min twice a week, this makes me happy.<br /><br />Next, I really try to enjoy whatever it is that I am doing RIGHT NOW, even if it's not the thing I wish I was doing. Focus = contentment.<br /><br />Also, big dreams to sew all my clothes, not buy them, is a little ways away. There's hard work ahead, tantrums, lack of time, etc. So I try to set mini-goals (no more than 2 per week for everything, this is realistic for me) and finally...<br /><br />most importantly... <br /><br />I don't give in to guilt, or worry, or panic, or fear if I don't meet my goals. If I waste time on those feelings, I'm sure to have missed the contentment of the things that I was doing instead. :)<br /><br />Great post! Good luck with the simplifying and don't be too hard on yourself.Jenavevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210038477356983232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178150141831482833.post-72252922806349748442009-05-24T17:56:25.441-07:002009-05-24T17:56:25.441-07:00My plan is to be more specific; in the hope that b...My plan is to be more specific; in the hope that by describing exactly what i want instead of just "thinking i want more time" i'll get closer ! Now i just need to decide what that exact thing is. hah....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
