Being Boss

One of the catches of being your own boss is that you never get away from your boss.

I boss myself around a LOT.

I tell myself there is always more I could be doing.

And I work from home, which means work never technically goes away.

Especially because I LOVE what I do. Coaching is the best job ever.

But I know that I have to be more deliberate about my time if I want to have a more balanced lifestyle.

Today was the first day in a loooong time where I took the whole day off.

I didn't check emails, I didn't coach anyone, I didn't work at all.

I didn't even make one single to do list. Whaaaaat?! (Any other A-Type personalities here?)

I've deliberately decided that I won't work on Saturdays – only fun and relaxation.

So today I painted on canvas, I watched TV, I hung out with my boyfriend and my sister, I chatted to my bestie on the phone.

It was bliss.

And even though I took the day off from officially working, I still showed up for my dreams.

I wrote on my blog, I brainstormed, I thought about how I can add more value.

I believe in taking days off work – but no days off from my dreams. Ever.

Because what if the day I take off is the day they come true?
