Joanna Gaines on what makes her 'second-guess, well, everything'

Joanna Gaines said she plans to "pause" to reflect on her "budy life," which she noted can be "uncomfortable."

The former "Fixer Upper" star, who runs the Magnolia home brand with husband Chip Gaines, continued, "Turning my gaze inward. Looking curiously at the chaos of my own busy life to try to create some order or fine-tune a few too-familiar ways of living that may no longer serve me. Because, while self-reflection is healthy and good and necessary, it can be uncomfortable. It can be quiet. It can go slow. It can make you second-guess, well, everything."

She admitted that she is forced to reflect in each of her quarterly columns for the magazine, "but left to my own devices, I’m not convinced I’d volunteer to tune in to my yeses and nos long enough to see if more thought would have me choose differently. I’m more likely to tell myself that the timing is no good now and that I’ll have more capacity once we get through this busy season or after the next project crosses the finish line."
