There’s corporate or employed overhwelmed and there’s creative entrepreneur overwhelmed.

This is what I have found out as I have hopped and switched between them throughout the years and in my journey that started from leaving my old life and switched from juggling odd jobs, learning a new language, my blog, learning to promote it, finding ways to monetize it and how I can find ways to scale while still making sure that I am still producing quality content that is still in alignment with what I am all about without sacrificing my own hollistic health and my purpose.

In this episode I talked about the things I do when I feel like my all the items on my to-do list are screaming and demanding my attention.

In the nearly three years that I have been blogging and now 2 months of podcasting while finishing the workbook that I will be publishing soon, I was bombarded with tasks and the reality that I must publish a new episode for the podcast.

I have prepared and I actually was able to come up with a topic and had a lot of points to deliver and discuss but because of the other ideas and tasks that I needed to do, I doubted the quality of my own work and decided to take a break becausw when you’re a creative entrepreneur, tasks never end and ideas never stop not to mention that I am a highly sensitive person who has a trace of depression in my DNA so I am very careful because one anxiety attack can last me few days to receover so I am very mindful about my triggers and patterns.

I became more vigilant and honest in how I feel in which I have became more aware through journaling and meditation.

So instead of forcing myself to record and edit and publish a new episode, I decided to take a break.

To be able to create in batch, I need to learn how to automate my content promotion and online presence. I am using automation tool like Tailwind for Pinterest. Instagram and Facebook posts can also be scheduled in advance.

This has saved me a lot of time by manually pinning on Pinterest. If you want to try Tailwind, here is my affiliate link which will give you a month of FREE trial.
