So here's to 2022, a year where I thought I'd have recovered from lockdowns and gone back to my old self pre lockdowns with "bigger and better things" but no...I've posted 5 things in 2022 and still M.I.A on my biz account. But that's ok, I'm getting there.
At the start of 2022, I had chosen a word that I wanted to lead the year with. "Renewal" - I didn't know how I was going to map out the year with this in mind, but I knew I had to start with my mental health and take things slowly. The gym quickly became my 2nd home, my getaway, somewhere I felt safe, accepted, and not judged. Somewhere I could grow based on effort alone.
While I'm still finding my way back to socials, I've found a new peace with being content with what I have and just running with it. Although business could be better I've come to terms with where it's at.
All these years I've been chasing the dream, trying to grow my business, trying to be the best like no one ever was and just getting stuck in that rat race, self doubt, competion, comparison and self sabotage. I'm exhausted, burnt out, and emotionally drained.
But I've come to realise, there's a time and place for everything, i will have my time one day.. and right now, with 3 under 6, my time is with them. No point wasting energy on something that's just not meant to be right now.
I know this sounds like a goodbye, but it's not, like seriously.. it's not. In 2023 I'll still be around on stories, I will just need to really dig deep and have the courage to show up more. My business is still open, but my focus is not to drive sales constantly, not to grow into an "empire", it will just be here to provide for my family and i modestly while I navigate the next chapter in my life and figure out how to come back to socials. Thank you for sticking around and joining me on this adventure so far.
