sometimes you can be your own worst enemy

I’ve been feeling a bit insecure the last few days. I seem to go through this cycle every few months where I get a bit down and begin to question the path we’re on when things get a little slow. Some of my smaller work projects got unexpectedly pushed back a few weeks which was welcome relief, but as much as I try not to, I start to get very antsy if I’m not working. I know that in a few short weeks I will get slammed as all my projects, big and small, will most likely start at the same time, so I’m trying to spend this unexpected free time drawing and sewing and not dwelling on the slow progress of things. How does one learn to relax? Is it something you can learn? I can’t stop my head from spinning with a million business ideas and projects and other things I want to accomplish. Mostly because I have this big responsibility to provide for my kids and I’ve convinced myself that climbing the corporate ladder is not the path to achieve this, at least not for me. Still, sometimes I get tired of “just getting by”. I thought by the time you reached your mid to late thirties you would have it figured out. Trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up, at this age, is getting a bit old I must say.
