Interrupt The Pattern!
Heya
guys!
There is a pattern forming online and I'm not here for it.
Last week on the podcast I brought up the topic of REMEDIATION TIME - time that we need as business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives and aspiring to clear our thoughts so that we can continue to feel inspired in our businesses because our minds have a tendency of being busy and full! Particularly this time of year!
Well, the pattern I am noticing lately is everyone asking the questions - "Have you achieved your goals for 2024?", "Want to make 2025 even better than 2024?", "Are you ready to get a head start on planning for 2025?"
And don't get me wrong - their intentions mean well I'm sure. Heck, I have been this person in years passed who advertised this way!
But I’ve realised, all this does is add extra pressure to an already pressured time of year!
And I won’t stand for this.
Because YOU DON'T NEED THIS!!!
You don't need silly posts on social media that sub consciously prompt you to feel bad for all that you haven't achieved. You may be achieving everything you want to in your own time!!
You don't need to have more pressure added to make it better next year when you are still currently in this season giving it your all - or the best you can with what you have right now, and hoping for a good outcome RIGHT NOW!
You don't need someone dictating to you that you should be getting a head start on your planning for next year - PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU'RE CURRENTLY IN A BUSY SEASON!
This is too much pressure. And IT'S JUST NOT NECESSARY.
Your business will not crumble if you don't take 5 minutes right now to plan out a whole 2025!
You aren't failing if you HAVEN'T achieved all you set out to achieve in 2024 - this is all part of the process!!
👉 What all of this WILL DO, is it will add more clutter to an already busy and full mind. And we all know where that will get us!
👉 What it WILL DO is stir your subconscious thoughts to feel like a failure if you aren't doing it all. And we all know where that get's us!
✨ What you DO NEED - is space.
And I don't mean a 4x4m slice of oasis, surrounded by lush greenery, the ocean lapping at your feet, the sun setting in the distance and 500 miles from everyone you know 😏...
✨ I mean THOUGHT SPACE.
✨ MINDSET SPACE.
✨ Space to breath fully.
✨ Space to quieten ALL your thoughts.
✨ Space to relax your mind.
✨ Space to let go of the pressure and the busy, the expectations and the feelings of failure, frustrations, sadness, anxiety - all those feelings we pick up throughout the year as businesses owners. As creative minds who take our business very personally.
You need space for support, kindness, love, inspiration, a big hug. And all of this from within.
This space may not happen right away - because we are in the season of busy. But, I am hoping that this Christmas does allow you this space when you come to the end of your 2024. This remediation space.
And even if you don't take time off during Christmas and New Year…
…the happening of a New Year can be all it takes to help interrupt the pattern of all the pressures you may have picked up throughout 2024.
🤗🤗🤗
Think back to my last podcast episode where I shared my tip for helping to quieten your mind - this works so well when your thoughts are being squished full of the content that is thrown carelessly around social media.
*** Now - a disclaimer… If this type of content fills your soul (Want to get a head start on 2025, Have you achieved everything in 2024) , then by all means please completely disregard this blog. I don't want to add to the people dictating to you what you should be doing!!!
However, if that type of content adds more pressure, and makes you feel bad about where you are at right now - then I do want to be a support for you. Please revisit my podcast episode from last week here to help quieten the pressures of this season.
Nothing should make you feel bad about where you are right now, how you are coping, what you are doing - to make it all work for you in your business right at this moment.
You are doing great 👈👈 and that's the sentiment I'm here for.
I want to make sure that you always know how amazing you are!
I so appreciate your time in reading this blog. Thank you from my whole heart.
