Happy December Friends!! One more month left in 2019!
Do you ever feel like you just want to start over?
Scrap everything, find a fresh perspective, and jump into a new and different feeling? Me too.
Oh boy have I been there!!!! More times than I can count.
At least twice a month, I have this overwhelming feeling of "what the heck am I doing with my life?!" I need to sit down, plan, scrap everything, and just START over!
But what I've learned over the course of probably hundreds of these "I need to start over" frenzies; is that fresh starts, aren't necessary. No matter how much my ego tries to get me to believe that they are.
If there's something you want to do, you don't need the conditions to be perfect. All you need is you. All you need are baby steps. And no, I'm not kidding.
All you need to do, is figure out what it is that you want to be doing (heck, write it down if you need to), and then you just need to do it! Even if only partially at first. In time, it will grow into exactly what you envisioned it to be.
So just because you don't have the best camera, or the perfect backdrop, it doesn't mean that you can't start a YouTube channel tomorrow.
Just because you don't have your schedule all mapped out perfectly, doesn't mean that today can't be great.
Just because you don't exactly know what you want to write about, doesn't mean you can't start writing for 10 minutes a day, about literally anything, and eventually have the inspiration for a book on your hands.
Just because you don't have your perfect "fashion vibe" nailed yet (or heck, maybe still have no idea what your style is yet), doesn't mean you can't start getting creative with what's in your closet right now, and what you're wearing today, to start a fashion blog.
Just because you don't have a workout buddy, doesn't mean you can't start working out or moving your body.
Just because you don't know what career you want right now (or what you want to major in college yet), doesn't mean you can't try a new job or take a new class that will eventually lead you to discovering a path that interests you.
Just because you don't know everything about veganism yet, doesn't mean you can't declare you're going vegan and give it a shot. (every meal counts!)
Just because you don't have bulk shops, doesn't mean you can't make one low waste swap that minimizes your longterm use of a single-use plastic that's in your life now.
Just one. Just one step.
It's all about small steps.
Each step adds to growth; which sparks evolution.
And in time, what you envisioned, will come to light.
All of this is to say, I've fallen through on some of my goals. I've lost sight of my priorities.
(This is no new statement, but alas, I'm still trying. This time trying by taking baby steps, rather than expecting a big overnight overhaul.)
I want to instagram stories more!
I want to write more. Take more photos. Post on Instagram more.
I want to make one youtube video, and one podcast every week.
I want to make patreon videos every week.
Here I am. Without a perfectly curated map for how I'm going to do these things... but I'm going to take baby steps to get each of these patterns back into my life.
What are you working on to round out 2019? This is your nudge!!! I'll be taking baby steps right alongside of you. You're not alone! Feel free to email me back what you're working on! I'd be so honoured to hear! (and also know that I'm not alone)
Luv u lawts. You're doing great, sweetie.
Catch ya next Sunday,
— Christie xo
