PROCESS
There is TRULY something beautiful when you are able to FULLY grasp the concept of “taking it one step at a time.” I think for years this phrase would go in one ear and out the other. While in college…I was running off of pure anxiety by making decisions from a place of fear, doubt, or even insecurity to have some sense of control 😳😳😳. Found myself trying to have a plan for a plan and it HAD to go this exact way or…The movie that best depicts this emotion is Inside Out 2 - the character Anxiety. Back then…I would find myself ten steps ahead of myself. By only seeing the big picture and not fully allowing myself to grasp what steps to take, but instead I would see the leaps to take though 🫣🫣🫣.
Fast forward to now…I realize that by taking it one step or moment at a time. You are actually allowing ya self to create space to enjoy the process. And in doing such allows you to make decisions from a sound and grounded place from within.
😌😌😌
Now, I still have these moments when I am jumping I’d say maybe threeish steps ahead of myself. However, over time I have found ways to ground myself that in turn allows me to tap into a creative flow… such as with designing the “
turinanicole.com” website by doing the following…
***
Acknowledge
that I am overwhelming myself by taking deep diaphragm breathing such as 4,2,6 (inhaling for 4, hold for 2, and exhaling for 6) for about 3x.
I also enjoy journaling, listening to music, or even dancing to help ground myself and to let go…
Then I ask myself…
”What is your intention for the website?”
- which is to have a place to house previous newsletters.
After…
I have reminded myself of the why. I then go back to the drawing board and sketch out what the flow of the website looks like. And BAM back to designing the website 😎😎😎.
Sometimes steps 2 and 3 are done multiple times but this process somehow always reignites my motivation and inspiration to create from a free flowing state that then allows me to enjoy the creative process…

Ekkk…🤩🤩🤩 creating a website has lowkey overwhelmed me over the years. But by taking these actionable steps encourages me to slow down and to enjoy the process. While reminding myself that it for sure doesn’t have to be perfect and to keep it simple. TRULY keeping it simple is truly the name of the game…
So my loves, for this week when ya feeling a little wonkers 🫨🫨🫨 on the inside…What is one thing you can do to remind ya self to take it one step at a time?
And with that being said…

As always…
