Breakthrough
Last night I was working on the 365 Days of Me program and I had a breakthrough. The kind where you want to stay up all night because your brain will not let it go. I seriously considered it for a minute… but I know myself well enough now to know that doesn’t actually help me, so I went to bed.
And the crazy part — the excitement didn’t disappear.
As soon as my eyes opened this morning it was right there again. I wanted to grab my coffee and go straight to it.
Except… it’s Monday. The kids will be here soon and real life does not care about my creative timing lol.
It is surprisingly hard to be this excited about something and still have to wait.
But honestly, I think that might actually be a good thing. It gave me time to sit with the ideas instead of rushing them, and now I have something to look forward to tonight after work.
I also realized something else this morning.
Mind Body Soul is slowly turning into what I always hoped it would be. Not in the neat, planned out way I pictured years ago… but in a real way.
For a bit I thought I needed to pick a lane. I even considered letting go of the candles and wax and just focusing on the apothecary, soaps, natural products, and the journals — the side I’m deep in right now.
And then it hit me… I don’t actually have to choose.
That part of the business isn’t gone. It’s just quiet while I’m in this creative space. It will still be there when I come back to it.
I’m not replacing one thing with another. I’m building something that can hold both.
And for the first time it doesn’t feel like I’m pulled in too many directions.
It feels like everything finally fits together.
Journaling Prompts
What is something in my life right now that genuinely excites me — and how does it feel different from pressure or obligation?
Where am I trying to rush growth, and what might happen if I allowed it to unfold at a natural pace instead?
Is there a part of my life I feel I have to give up in order to move forward… and is that actually true?
