Sometimes stepping away is exactly what you need . . .
I hadnāt planned to take a full break & was fully intent on being more present on here, just not posting. But as soon as my week began, I knew I needed a proper break.
Iāve never taken a full week off of posting before - the perfectionism taking over & telling me itāll ruin my account if I do. But that in itself made me realise that I need to make some changes.
And surprisingly, I stopped feeling so weighed down immediately. The creative juices began flowing, a wave of inspiration hit me & I felt more clarity about my small business than I ever have.
After giving myself the time & space that I didnāt realise I needed, I started really noticing things. And thatās where Iāve realised that the direction I want to take Kenzie Gabe & Co. in is actually much more connected to who I really am in my everyday life.
Itās about the things I naturally gravitate towards. The old, the nostalgic, the things with a character & a story. And adding my own little twist.
Iāve got plenty to keep me busy over the next few months, but rather than feeling hugely overwhelmed, Iām 80% excited & only 20% overwhelmed! And whilst I know creating content is important for my small business, I also know that sometimes easing off & redirecting your time & energy elsewhere can be equally as productive. So I may be posting less, but that just means Iām working on exciting things!
āØ Have you ever taken a proper step back from something only to realise you needed it far more than you realised? Iād love to know . . .
xXx
