I really love fixing things. My shop. Things around the house. Myself. Relationships. New handbag designs. My son's Lego creations in need of repair. It feels so good to make improvements. However, sometimes it seems like a habit to focus on what needs work...what things we need to change. I realized last week, that for me, it's probably just as important to recognize what is already working. Like, what things am I already doing well? Either in regards to our businesses, our shops, or our personal lives -it's kind of refreshing to stop and think, "wow, I'm already doing this part pretty darn good." {well, you might say it with a little more grammatical finesse, but you get the point}
So I thought I'd share a few things that for me don't need much tinkering....and I'd love to hear what's working for you.
- I've found my voice. And I like it :)
- A balance of orders, new items, and special projects that feels right.
- I (finally) like how my shop looks.
- My schedule is both structured and flexible-- and it works.
- There is a lot of depth and meaning to my friendships these days.
- Motherhood feels so good.
- My shop is growing in the direction I had hoped for.
Coming up with this list was surprisingly difficult! I found myself saying, "well, almost." or "except for totally messing up the other day," or "I wish I could say that works." But, in the end, it's quite freeing. And while everything in my nature screams to find something to do better, I think maybe the one thing to work on right now is just to enjoy what's not broken.
- c'mon, do share! Tell me what kind of goodness you've got right now!
