Hey and welcome back to Takemetotheheights.com! It is currently 2:32 AM (shoutouts to my first draft time check-in!) and I couldn’t wait to write this particular blog post for y’all. For starters, can we make a little noise for our new look?! There are still changes being made here and there but I am incredibly grateful to be in a space where I can change things up on my own time. I knew Takemetotheheights needed an overall revamp once I began reflecting on my thirties(more on that soon!) I no longer felt like I could tip-toe around the fact that I needed this space to truly mirror where I currently am in my life. I’m in a space now where (clearly regardless of the time) I am fully tapped in creatively. I was in this constant battle with imposter syndrome. I would have those what-if moments to the point where I had no desire to come back to this space.
I was ultimately going through my woes of self-doubt and comparing my life to those who I deemed as “having it all”. But divinely, (it almost felt as if my spirit guides came to me and uttered the words, “It’s not too late”) I found myself having moments of accepting my day-to-day routine of work life (which I am grateful for) yet I yearned for so much more. I yearned for those moments when those sudden bursts of creative energy would wake me up from my deep slumber (where I had to sketch out or map out an idea) I yearned for those moments when I missed how satisfied I felt after producing something I had dreams of wearing. But I knew it delved deeper than how often I yearned for those particular moments.
In those instances where work was lackluster, it instantly changed the thoughts I had about my everyday schedule, (and lack thereof) I no longer spoke from a place of intention. I became heavily guarded and secluded. I shied away from certain opportunities because I thought from a place of lack/feeling as though I didn’t have enough experience. I knew the moment when my thoughts and my work environment began to impact my day-to-day negatively, that’s when I placed what I loved on the back burner. I no longer having the desire to even think about wanting to do something that would ideally fulfill me.
Despite those moments, I began to change my viewpoint on my current circumstances and speak from a place of gratitude as I once did months before starting at my current work site. I am grateful to be in a space where I can reflect on those particular moments of feeling inadequate but even more grateful that I can turn those negative thoughts into positive ones.
I began to redefine what joy meant for me. That looks like me speaking to my loved ones consistently, creating a space where I can tap into my wellness practices without any excuses, and ultimately reconnect with peers who fuel my creative essence.
Above all else, I am thrilled about this particular journey in my life as it has already taught me the significance of truly prioritizing my well-being, no matter the external factors, distractions, or roadblocks and honor every step of the way through this particular chapter of my life.
If you’ve made it this far, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to check out tonight’s blog post. It means more to me than you’ll ever know. Let me know in the comments/reply section how do you prioritize/make space for creativity. How do you ensure you are prioritizing your well-being?
