Day 247: A Day Off

Day 247.  I can’t ever really take a complete and full day away from everything not only because I’m trying to build my business but I also set the goal for myself of writing a daily report.  I’m a bit of a broken record on this but I have to say it again:  daily is every day.  Okay, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest for the umpteenth time, let me also say this, I’m going to get as close to creating a day off as I can.  Saturday and Sunday were non-stop pretty much like every weekend for the last few months, so today, that’s it, I’m putting my foot down.  After doing this daily report and my daily morning work for the company, I’m shutting it all down for the rest of the day!  I’m taking a break.  I’m going to read a book.  I’m going to watch a movie.  I’m going to breathe.  I have to create calm, relaxation, and decompression to refill  my creative well.  That’s my goal anyway.  On this Labor Day, I will do no major labor. Oddly enough, I can already feel that proclamation making me anxious.  There’s so much to do!  Hmmmm.  That’s not a good sign.  I could easily fail at my “rest of the day off” goal.  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…a day off.
