β¨ A Personal Note β¨
I wanted to quit like 17 times this month Reader. Usually, I am "Holly, Mrs. Positive Pants", but I feel like my mind got the best of me these last few weeks. Insert things you don't see on social! π Ok, I shared some, but if you haven't noticed I haven't been on social much at all. β I scraped my entire podcast plan for this month, re-did our launch plan for the end of the year, and convinced myself out of completely re-doing our entire brand because I woke up not liking the color teal this week. Say what? (I actually really like the color teal, so that was just a bad moment). π€·ββοΈ β Which got me thinking...I am a VERY driven person. Sometimes to a fault. But let's talk about those days when you just can't seem to find the motivation to work on your business. What do you do? (Hint - Give it 24 hours so you don't change your entire color scheme just because you are having an off moment).
Because here's the thing: it's normal to feel unmotivated sometimes. Even the most successful entrepreneurs experience slumps. The key is to know how to overcome them. β βI did truly scrap my entire podcast plan and wrote a podcast about it which you can listen to here. It's probably one of the most personal episodes I have ever done.
Here are a few things that have helped me stay motivated during challenging times:
Prioritize self-care: I've found that taking care of myself physically and mentally is essential for staying motivated. Self-care lately has looked like extra spicy iced chai tea lattes, pilates, re-watching Gilmore Girls, and reading with my girls. (We have a nightly reading, walking, and skincare routine).
Identify the root cause: When I'm feeling unmotivated, I try to figure out what's really going on. Is it burnout, fear of failure, or something else? Once I identify the root cause, I can take steps to address it. I share on the podcast what some of these are for me, including "energy leaks" that this exercise helped me identify.
Seek support: Talking to friends, family, or a therapist can be incredibly helpful. Sometimes, just venting your frustrations can make a big difference. I upped my collaborations and partnerships (that #antisocial strategy which is actually very social) so that I could work with more amazing women. Who are you surrounding yourself by? And also took my team to eat tacos, scheduled a date night, and just reached out to a few close friends.
Celebrate your wins: No matter how small, celebrate your accomplishments. This will help you stay positive and motivated.
