THE JOURNAL

Time to Recharge

February 19, 2018

I’ve always imagined that working for yourself consisted of sleeping in, movies during the day and creating your own schedule! Although it does allow me to create my own schedule and sleep in occasionally, it’s a lot more work than I could have ever imagined! Being a Raleigh wedding photographer and DJ in Raleigh means that we work most weekends. We work long hours behind the scenes editing photos and preparing playlist for each wedding! Although we love what we do, the hours can be long! One of the things that I’ve learned over the last few years is that we have to take time to recharge our inner batteries from time to time. That could mean taking a day off in the middle of the week to just lounge on the couch and eat ice cream. Or taking an actual vacation away from social media and emails!

Brian and I recently did just that! We took a very last minute trip to Miami to spend a couple of days recharging before wedding season starts for us! I realized that I really needed to take a day off! I needed to just relax and let the emails be for a day! I needed to eat without having to wash dishes. I needed a break from the kids! That sounds horrible, but with 3 kids, you have to find a balance between work, being a Mom and just being a woman! I have to remind myself of that one constantly!

So if you’re like us and you love work, but you’re exhausted, take some time to recharge! Find something that you love to do and just do it! For me, that’s traveling! I love to travel and find peace and calmness in adventure! I’d love to hear from you! What do you do to recharge your inner battery? Leave it below!
