sooooo I ALMOST reached complete burnout after doing a number of pop-up shops as a small business owner. I LOVE pursuing my creative side-hustle, but sometimes, I don't realize the toll it's taking on my physical and mental health. I've gotten into the habit of catching myself getting a little too close to burnout, and started implementing healthy habits to get back on track. hope you enjoy:)

I think it’s so great that you are buying Christmas gifts from thrift stores and small businesses. Have a wonderful holiday. Thanks for all your videos, as I have enjoyed watching them.

[@jeighceedee]

That’s why I stop of I needed to pause or rest. But I hope I can go back soon. ❤

[@micaela.herrera]

another lovely inspiring video, definitely that time of the year where burnout starts to creep up so glad to see you took some time for yourself!

[@ninirossau2304]

I just had my session of destressing. my cat decided to rest on my shoulder while purring. she just left so I can move now. I am getting close to burnout because after work I had to proofread my sons bachelor project again (happy we are almost done) and help my father with his shopping. I want to relax and start making proto types for next years markets. merry christmas.

[@ChantelleArts]

this is wonderful, its so important to look after yourself ❤❤

[@LifewithJessL]

Great way to reset!

[@chatryna]

I have come into the habit of taking some time to rest the day or two before a show. I don't know why. But I think that instinctively it helps me to put it all in perspective. Maybe things will change later, but for the time, I get a part of the day off just before the big push. By the way, your videos are amazing.

[@Chereerboutique]

Love video! Yes sometimes you have to take time for yourself and reset!

[@thinktaxaccountingservices6288]

It's crucial to prioritize self-care, fostering a healthier work-life balance for sustained well-being.

[@rachelelbeedee]

[@rachaelkeren]

[@michelejarrell4851]

[@jaalawhyte511]

Hi Monica, I'm glad you were able to see the signs of burning out and heed it. Striving for excellence is very hard, but you can do it. Success is near. What's the name of that desk you were using....the smaller one? Much love from Antigua 🇦🇬👋🥰 in the Caribbean.

[@MariellesLife_]

I have my period too girl 😂😂😂❤❤❤ I’m just over December 😊 it doesn’t feel like Christmas

[@Marisadiariesss]

Hi girly! So I was wondering what are the size of your labels for your big candles??

[@Heyu7her3]

I'm just going back to sending people gift cards atp... then again, no one sends me anything anyway aside from holiday cards

[@Rockin.Bakken]

You remind me a lot of myself. The burnout is real. I’m so happy you took a day for yourself 🩷✨
