Aiming for self care

I run my own business.


It's pretty cool. I make a product that both helps people and brings happiness. You've gotta be happy with that.

Unfortunately it can also get incredibly busy and insane and mind-numbingly frustrating all at the same time. And I've been juggling work, kids, house, family, holidays and whatnot for the last month or so.. constantly. I'm just about all drained out.


So I decided self care was in order. But, as I do, I incorporated a little bit of 'work'.


Every Friday I am blocking out some time to explore a different coffee shop. Have a coffee and do a little bit of planning before getting stuck into errands, groceries and whatever else my list entails. With the new school drop-off routine, this means before or just on 9am, which gives me plenty of time in the rest of the day to get my other work done.


I started this morning at a coffee shop I already frequent. And it was lovely. I blocked everyone else out and just did what I came to do. So peaceful, very calm and unrushed.


Now I just have to decide where I shall go next week :)
