Sarah—this is so funny! This happened last night! Everything was going wrong, my puppy was trying to get my attention, 2 of my cats were crawling all over me and stitches that I had just reviewed were not working. 🤯 I finally realized that I needed to put everything away because my hobby that I love was not bringing me happiness, but annoyance. I will remember your tip next time, and find a space that all my pets cannot add to any frustration that I am feeling. I will be able to breathe in peace! 😜 Thanks!

Watching someone who presents a wonderfully calm presence in their videos, suddenly throw a hoop, made me chuckle. Think I'll just watch this short as my calm 😂 Great tip though xx

I have found that out, especially if I'm working on a difficult section.

Love you Sarah! Embroidery is so relaxing!

[dinky..]

Your so right. Stress transfers into knotting thread and a real mess!

[LightchaserAV]

Love the tips, please keep them coming!

[christineandrews]

Very good advice, I can't settle to a project when I know there's those mundane jobs to do, I need to be relaxed and concentrate on what I'm doing, not feeling guilty about the washing up! X

So true and can be applied to so many areas of life. Thanks, Sarah 😊❤

Exactly how I approach each project. The process is very meditative indeed. Thanks for the reminder🧘‍♀️

Yes, we often forget how important breathing is
