I hope you guys are all having a great start to the week & also to the year so far! I've had a lot going on these past couple of weeks. After taking some time off over xmas, I thought it would be good to pack the bookings in for January. Not totally considering the fact I'm putting a lot of my energy towards this group right now. Also added to that I'm trying to take over a studio space in Whistler & finding most week days start with emails from the real estate agent & my lawyer that need attention. I'll be honest - I love my work so much, I have a tendency to not take much time off. I love feeling productive & appreciate all of the fun stuff I have going on. Well this morning overwhelm struck! I realized I had a day of drawing planned, more emails in my inbox & a head full of community ideas. I'm normally very good at keeping a clear head, but this morning it all felt too much. So I did this - I sent two important emails, then put my phone away. I closed the book with my drawing list & decided to reschedule the work. And I went for a walk. I took my wife for coffee, then offered to pick my kids up from school. I didn't realize how much I needed a day off. So the important lesson I have to sometimes remind myself is to find space. Space in the day, space in my week. Space just to absorb & process everything that's going on. We all need space to be creative & progress isn't just having your foot on the gas. One of my goals this year is to free up my schedule & find a better flow to all of the work I'm doing. What are your main goals going into 2026? ✨️
