I recently read that having lots of unfinished projects can be a major energy drain … and I believe it. As much as I love creative expression, my endless “To Do” list is a drag. And it’s frustrating to stress out trying to find the time, and source supplies only to inevitably get inspired for other projects while I’m in the middle of current ones! Pinterest is my kryptonite.
Energy-draining list aside, I’m trying to be more mindful that it’s as much about the journey as the end result. When my determination falters, I peek at these projects I have completed.
And most of all, I remind myself of my latest mantra: Do it with joy or not at all.
