Take a Break and slow down for a moment.

It’s finally summertime and we all long to some time at the beach or on the lake.

But if you are like me, you continue to find yourself running around without a brake and just not being able to get off the “Marry-Go-Round”.

With demanding Clients and Open House requests every weekend, kids on different schedules and all those Summer get-togethers that the family and friends expect, with family coming over from Europe for entire MONTH, I must say… I’m quite overwhelmed at times.

Knowing myself, I will do-it-all and come out smiling but at what cost?

A lot of us have a tendency to spread ourselves thin and bite their teeth in the process to satisfy everyone else’s demands, and what’s worst, our own too.

In my case it’s the perfect back yard and beautiful spot to relax on the weekends that I just “Must Have”.

My brand new, huge deck looks so cold without the plantings, and white curtains blowing in the wind… My vision is not coming together because, let’s be honest, I HAVE NO TIME to get it done… What’s worst… I don’t have time to enjoy it either.

So, I’m teaching myself to notice and accept those tiny moments of bliss, anywhere I can get them. I’m learning to leave the guilt behind and bless myself with a short walk on the waterfront, or a White Chocolate Raspberry Tart and coffee in the corner café.

That way, when I have to go back and drive that one Client who just can’t stop talking about himself or if I have to show the same home for the 5th time to the couple, who “just don’t know what they should do”…

I can handle it, and I can smile.

Because I DID have some “me time” and now I feel I can do it all again!

So, to every Professional out there, to all those whose eyes are glazed over, because you forgot to go to bed last night, and those who no longer know what day of the week it is…

Remember that YOU need a breather too! So take a moment to slowdown for a minute, and notice the wind’s gentle breeze and the blooming flowers.

It’s summer! Enjoy it, if only one moment at the time!
