Ahh…. Winter's in the midwest are always challenging around mid February. It was fun when it snowed in December but now it's getting a little old and the snow continues to dump on us. I know this well because after growing up in Wheaton and going to Wheaton North I've been in the Chicago land area for most of my life. Despite my attempt to stay in the South after my time at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, I soon realized there is nothing like living by family, so I moved back. This is a truly unique and fun winter for me because I am deeply looking forward to officially starting my life with my sweetheart in the Spring. Our Wedding is quickly approaching and I find myself a little crazed and sometimes in circles over what to do next. In addition to the wedding planning, we are painting our house and working on my "to do" list for fun changes here at Molly Grace Photography. The list seems endless and I often have a hard time even accomplishing any of it somedays. When the list is long like it is now I begin to stress and honestly, that stressing out just makes accomplishing anything nearly impossible. How amazing would it be if I just did the things on my do list, didn't tie it to any other emotion or anxiety and just accomplished stuff?! A lot more could be done, perhaps. Umm… procrastination, can anyone relate? It's funny because I thought a lot of my procrastination would end when school ended and because then no one would give me dumb homework I would dread doing. Unfortunately procrastination continues, especially when you assign yourself stuff to do and especially when you are the boss. Now of course, I am a girl and also an artist so I was designed to have a little more emotion to things than let's say the average "guy." The average guy that understood things for me would go a lot better if I stopped procrastinating and just did it.
So here's my challenge, to myself and to you. Let's work on NOT procrastinating! just kidding, that's lame. Let's just NOT procrastinate. It's a simple as that. Let's take the opportunity to just simply do what needs to be done. Work at these things and give only our best, then check it off the list and move on without stressing. Then you have the knowledge that you did it, you are prepared and it's all good.
