A little small business owner reality check. 😂
I’m supposed to be resting and recovering from surgery, but apparently my brain didn’t get the memo.
After years of working with my hands, being forced to slow down has been harder than I expected. Especially when you’re right-handed, that hand is still in quite a bit of pain, and almost everything you do for a living requires you to be hands-on.
The hardest part about being self-employed is that when you take a break, your business doesn’t just keep running on its own. So even when I’m trying to rest, my mind is constantly coming up with ways to stay connected, keep things moving, and continue growing what I’ve worked so hard to build.
Hence all the Reels, jewelry posts, promotions, and random ideas that keep popping into my head. 😂
I’m learning that sometimes slowing down physically doesn’t mean your mind slows down with you. Just trying to find that balance between letting myself heal and not losing the momentum I’ve worked so hard for. 🤍
