Hi and welcome here Janiqua :)
Yeah, sometimes it takes a lot of time to write things down the way we want it ! Glad you join Hive on your favorite day haha ! and in my opinion, it’s better to not feel selfish about free time used for us, this is just healthy and super normal - I personally work for myself the most, so I guess it’s different !
I hope you’ll enjoy your time here :)
Hi there @anttn
It was nerves but I've had such a nice welcome from everyone that I've interacted with that the stutterflies are gone now 🙂 I am yet to meet someone who disliked Fridays for a good reason 🤣
Perhaps I feel it's selfish because everyone is always so busy that it seems like claiming a day here and there for myself is taking it away from the other things that need doing. Self care is undervalued but it's so important.
I think that working for yourself is more stressful because it's not an 8 hour day, it's a 12 hour day. Some of my friends run their own businesses and it seems stressful at the best of times especially the first year. Did you find that it eased out after a while and there's more balance?
Thank you so much, I am enjoying it. I hope you are having a great weekend?
I understand ! How did you discover Hive ?
For me, it has become really important to take time to invest in my life rather than in someone else's work... After that, I have a kind of total practice where I want to have a hand in as many things in our lives as possible, food, housework... I'm a " house man " and I write novels, we've seen worse ! I'm not really a good example, but I also make sacrifices to have this lifestyle :) But yes, I have indeed managed to find this balance :)
Again, welcome to you and I look forward to seeing your future articles, have a great week :)
