I was working this morning on going to press. Full disclosure- this process is not easy for the artistic mind. I think it would be a bit easier if I had my husband’s brain. He is an engineer, he is technical, he likes very straight and organized corners.
That said… I spend a great deal of time getting in my own way. I overthink, I struggle, I worry.
This morning, while working on preparing the print files, I was reviewing some for my new self-care deck (YES, A NEW DECK- I AM SO EXCITED!!) I looked at some of the files, and smiled…”this is really good work!” I sort of shocked myself by even thinking that. Going to press can be so stressful, but this was a purely beautiful moment.
Why am I sharing this? Because I do think it’s time we flip the script we are all so used to. No, I am not an engineer… but I am a trained graphic designer. I know what works and what doesn’t. I am open and learn daily. That is a success, that is a positive.
Be nice to yourself. Fire Nellie the Negative- she doesn’t deserve space in your head.
Sending you so much love!
(going back to work now!)
