The Business | Setting boundaries when you are your own boss

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

In this video I share about a struggle I am having with setting boundaries around my work and personal time while working from home and being my own boss. *Please forgive me, the top of my head is cut off in this video. I am still getting used to using my mac book for shooting...

I circle too. Maya H has said many times to embrace this…it is our job as women to forage and collect berry’s so to speak-to keep our eye on the surroundings watching for danger, preparing food, gathering. I too can feel like I just don’t get as much done because of it but I think we do, I just need to give myself credit for it all xo

You are so wise Amber. I am learning much from you. It is so true, yet my mind still has a hard time believing it! xo

Thanks Kelly! It has really hit me lately-as my son just had a growth spurt that he will only be a little boy up for snuggles and playing for so long. I really do want to enjoy it! And isn’t it amazing how fast the school day goes by!

I am actively working on releasing this notion. Writing about it has really helped. I am starting to feel better and back to myself after taking it easy…and you know what? Nothing spontaneously combusted from my lack of attention. Ha. xoxo

fascinating.

I feel the same thing– and it makes no sense at all. It simply defies logic– where does this kooky illusion come from? I don’t know the answer but there is comfort in knowing I have such a gorgeous cousin with the same disease . .. let’s hope we get cured and FREE of this kookiness in 2012!!!

Hi Thea. Rest assured, you are not alone. What’s so funny to me is that I am in the same exact boat right now. In fact, at this moment I am researching new marketing strategies as I force myself to sit so as to not feel guilty about it.

It is very easy to get wrapped up in editing and fixing your website, blog, etc. I would say to myself, ok I’ll give myself 1 hour and then get up and balance things out and take care of the laundry, etc., but before I know it, it’s 3:20 and I have to meet the bus. It’s hard to do it all, but like you said, boundaries are the answer.

Don’t feel guilty about resting when you need it- sometimes that’s when the best ideas come to mind. And the kids are only kids for so long. Enjoy them.

Yes, I know where you’re coming from. This is something I’ve struggled with as well, however I have little trouble listening to my body when it needs a break. I love my work and will only be of better service when I’m at full capacity and I’m typically eager to get back to it. Besides certain constitution/dosha types gain clarity and creativity with rest and relaxation. Listen.

I love that you mentioned that videos are easier for you than writing a post, because half way through I started thinking… go take your nap! But now knowing that you were taking care of yourself by choosing the mode of most ease, I think you’ve already begun to set up a few boundaries. I think learning to shut down and turn off work is the challenge of this new age of technology. Thank you for opening the discussion. One of my biggest problems is trying to stay focused. Being at home for work means that there are constant distraction,s and I seem to circle from laundry, dishes, computer, etc. without fully completing anything on the first go around. I’m working on it. xx

I used to dislike purple-now I love it I also am loving gray and shades of sea glass I took this on a visit to the beach in Cohasset, M.A. when we went to celebrate my 40th on New Years Weekend just a few weeks ago.

Across The Room | Exploration in Self Portraiture | Reflection on the project

Friday, January 20, 2012

My thoughts on my Across The Room | Exploration in Self Portraiture Project. I tried my best to keep it short. The video lasts about as long as it takes to enjoy a cup of tea (almost 8 minutes) , so if you are up for it, pour yourself a cup and join me…

Across The Room | Exploration in Self Portraiture | What does your love look like?

Thursday, January 19, 2012

This photograph was taken in our playroom after school. Trey often does a lot of rolling around and wet noodle moves when he gets home from school. I think it is his response to having to sit most of the day doing school work. When we have to rush off somewhere I can find it...

Most of my clients are health conscious and strive to create wellness and vitality for themselves and their families.
