WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?
It’s a question I ask myself often and usually, it’s a question that gets asked in between a period of extreme busyness and right before a period of stillness (self-awareness is a key strength of mine).
Which is how I find myself in this moment where I am home for exactly 1 month before I kick into high gear again and I am currently in the midst of a self-doubt death spiral - have you ever been there?! I think this is something that acutely impacts creatives, entrepreneurs or anyone who is an Enneagram Type 3 (where my overachievers at?!)
When I find myself in one of these “I have no idea what I’m doing”, “who am I to have these big dreams” loops, there are a few things that help pull me out (just in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation).
I allow myself no more than 24 hours of wallowing, feeling all the feels, staying in bed watching Gilmore Girls on repeat (this is my version of self-care)
I get back into my daily routine which is usually impossible to maintain on the road. I meditate, gratitude journal, workout and write out all the things I need to get done that day
Last but not least, I pull up a google doc where I’ve written down my big WHY. In it, I’ve written down the reason I started my businesses and my ultimate goal to remind me of why I should keep going. If you’re interested in what my WHY is, check out my latest Instagram post - I shared it there.
I hope that by sharing these honest and raw feelings outside of just the usual IG highlight reel it might be relatable to anyone who has or is feeling the same way.
