Hey,
It’s so easy to see what is missing in someone else. But it’s not the same when we look at ourselves. We need to be objective and it’s not that easy because we've spent years in our own company.
It’s like when we go in the water and it’s freaking cold but we get used to it. When someone else wants to join, we tell them ‘come on! it’s not that cold...’
As I was working on my upcoming course around creating content, I wanted to add a consistency component to it. While I was consistent with my content for the clients I work with and the emails I send out, I was not consistent with posting content on social media.
It felt so frustrating that I could immediately produce content for someone else but would see that as a trigger not to create my own. Which is weird because I love sharing what I learn and experience, as much as I love consuming other people's content.
So, what I did was to sit down and break this apart to reach the core of why I was not being consistent with my social media content.
Since writing is my strength, I journaled around it.
I could feel flow coming in. The words taking shape on a once blank document on my now famous laptop with rainbowy keyboard.
That frustration started to melt away. It felt like the sun had come out from beneath the clouds and melted that feeling that was colder than my hands.
Those words formed sentences that made so much sense. And I had found my reason. I could not believe the relief that came with that realization. It was like I was smiling with my entire body. Pure bliss to become aware of something apparently invisible that had been staring at me this entire time.
Things were making sense and I knew I could do something about it. I did not judge myself for not being consistent. Instead, I realized that what I thought needed to happen was not possible in my current reality. What I thought I wanted or needed to do was a remnant of the past.
Now I get to share this moment with you, understanding that if I was able to look at things objectively and find a solution, I can do it again.
And all it took was being honest with myself. Which, just between us, is not as bad as we may think. It is, in fact, quite enjoyable.
