Press Reset

Happy Bank Holiday Monday and hello April! This isn't a normal time for this newsletter popping into your inboxes but with no work for most this Monday I felt your dose of inspiration might be needed more as Monday draws to a close.

I'm extremely happy that this bank holiday marks the start of my Easter holidays. With two weeks off and not much planned except some wedmin, I'm using it as a time to reset. After setting myself some goals for the year some old habits have slipped back in and what better time to think about change then a new season. 

As I have previously said, I have found my sewjo and have some projects lined up but my plan is to approach them differently. I'm not a patient person - in the past when I want to sew something because I want to get it finished I would often rush and there were always elements that could be improved. This year I am focusing on being more conscious, so I want to take my time. Doing little bits here and there and not feeling the need to rush. 

I also have some things I have been wanting to launch, relaunch but haven't had the time or motivation to, so I'm hoping this will be a good time for that. It can be easy to beat yourself up about not getting things done and comparing yourself against other people's successes. I often find that this time of year can be an easy time for me to do that. I often see a boost in my motivation but can find myself looking back over the lost months and what I haven't done when the motivation wasn't there. 

So how do you plan for a reset? Mood boards, spread sheets, my bullet journal are all the things that are my essentials. I like to map out plans, write down ideas, put them into a calendar and set myself some goals.

But I'm interested to know what works for others.
Is anyone using this month for a bit of a reset?
