I've had to take a step back recently and realize that that anger and rage I felt at not having what I thought I wanted actually prevented me from appreciating what I have. Once I did that, I realized that I love waht I have. Without the expectation of those things being what I wanted, I get to appreciate what they are.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843805956535147138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312578426763384238.post-55029292261628843692011-10-03T13:20:49.188-04:002011-10-03T13:20:49.188-04:00Hi Danielle...good post!

I know when I get in a rut that it will not last forever and it is a very good time to try something completely new that you wouldn't try otherwise.<br />MaryJoyfulployshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019711968410396731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312578426763384238.post-10987731683956199332011-09-29T20:51:09.378-04:002011-09-29T20:51:09.378-04:00Abby-I immediately felt a sense of relief when I w...Abby-I immediately felt a sense of relief when I wrote this post, so I can only imagine how much other stress will fall by the side.Daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312578426763384238.post-63997801987690155722011-09-29T18:58:26.881-04:002011-09-29T18:58:26.881-04:00Listening to yourself is very important.

I realized that not only am I a lot happier, a lot of the stress I felt kind of just went away. I think that it's normal for all of us to feel lost, but with time we find ourselves again.Dirt On The Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05670822676591465261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312578426763384238.post-21860268873795463412011-09-28T21:36:38.992-04:002011-09-28T21:36:38.992-04:00M-Thanks babe.

I TOTALLY understand what you are saying here and have been there myself. And yes, if it went from feeling fun to BAD when you decided on the Etsy Shop, well, something just wasn't right. The right things give us energy and we can't wait to work on what's next. Don't get me wrong, everything will most likely have some aspect we aren't crazy about (especially in business) but when the whole thing starts to feel like a looming cloud, it's time to switch gears. I'm so glad that you have and I'm so glad you are thinking about what's up and coming. :)Wozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910894608776631798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312578426763384238.post-59785433485013471652011-09-28T18:44:38.509-04:002011-09-28T18:44:38.509-04:00The best post you have written thus far.

Try doing The Artist's Way. Not just the morning pages but get the book and read and do the prompts.<br /><br />I think I'm going to do that again soon.Lindahttp://linda.curious-notions.netnoreply@blogger.com
