If you're feeling confused...


I'm surprised by how many people have told me they're feeling unclear and confused lately...

Some of them didn't look it at all either!

Many of them are successful in their careers too

So...if you're feeling "off" 👉 you're in good company at least!

But it sucks...

Especially if you're feeling a strong urge to change your career or your hours or how you work

If you've got that "I should always be making progress" feeling frustrating you, I can relate (soooo much 😂)

Sitting still isn't my strongest skill set either!

Here's what usually helps me clear my head (because it's definitely in your head) ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1️⃣ You need to get out of your head asap

Stop stirring the muck up there and let it settle. 👉 If that sounds impossible...the next steps will help even more

2️⃣ Breathe slowly and deeply a few times (or more)

When you focus on your body (like breathing slowly in and out), you're no longer in your head. The more you do this, the calmer you'll feel.

👉 Visualize the air going in and out of your body if you can. It helps

3️⃣ Do some physical activity (anything will help)

If you've got nervous energy making your brain spin...you may have trouble sitting still. You need to expend that energy somehow 👉 and going for a walk, a run, or moving your body in any way for an extended time will help you feel calmer.

💪 Bonus points - physical activity releases dopamine + endorphins which also make you feel better

So...I'm curious about your favorite ways to clear your head?

I'm all ears! 👂

Does it look like I'm just writing about what grinds my confidence into dust? 😂 It's true...but also I hear this sentiment from LOTS of people! Side note - People with serious soft + hard skills say this to themselves (although it's usually about their highly-lucrative soft skills) You may think your hard skills (like web design, proofreading, bookkeeping, graphic design, copywriting, etc) are the big important skills. They are....but it's your soft (and usually invisible to you) skills that...

Ever wake up not in the mood...for whatever's on your to-do list today? I do...you probably do...and the truth is 👇 That person you desperately wish you could magically tranform into does too (yep...all of 'em) What do you normally do when you're just not feeling it? 😕 Try to force yourself?😕 Distract yourself with...anything?😕 Tell yourself how much you suck? I've tested all of these...thoroughly 😂 They don't help me get anything useful done. But...maybe you're different? I'd love to know!...
