3…2…1 Not taking off (yet)
In my head, I had it all planned out. The clock would strike midnight commencing the 33rd chapter of my life. In congruence, my new website and offerings would launch as well. I would feel a sense of accomplishment. Well, here it is, the eve of my birthday, and none of those things will happen.
I have felt overwhelmed this entire month. It’s not that I didn’t work on my goals. I had business meetings, focus groups, calls, etc. However, things weren’t lining up to meet my self-imposed deadline. I obsessed over the deadline even against the advice of marketing strategists. The more I pushed for things to happen, the more I felt pushback.
I was overwhelmed mentally and physically. Even outside of my projects, life was heavy. A senseless war was still happening and sad news seemed to be the dominant news around me. Having slipped into a depression before, I realized my mental health was declining. I had to regroup and recharge fast!
I chose to focus on fun and put the work on hold. 48 hours before my birthday, my plans were finally solidified. I chose to focus on fun and put the work on hold. And that I did! I had the time of my life partying in South Florida. I danced, I danced, I danced! It was a weekend filled with soca music, brunching, and friends. I was carefree and in my element. It was everything I needed. I even got a chance to spend time with my grandparents before the turn up.
I traded pressure and stress for friends, dancing, and laughter. I am officially recharged and its game on! Welcome to my new website.
