Week 28 - Slowing Down

This week I was able to get exactly 1 video out. My slowest week yet. All the powers that be recommend posting at least once a day, 3 or more times if you can especially on TikTok. It’s a great goal and one I hope to get to one day. I’m still working on training my brain to think in terms of content and different types of content. I want to explore vlogs as well as get better at super short 10-20 sec videos. Sometimes it’s lack of confidence, hyper-critical thoughts, not feeling funny or having a bad day. Sometimes it’s simply logistical, a super busy week or kids were sick or I’m otherwise needed elsewhere to do other things. I feel bad not being productive. Fear of missing out on engagement and momentum is real. I also want to give myself grace and allow space and room for the unexpected. I want to build up a drafts folder for those days but right now it’s all I can do to get 1 piece out per day. On the flip side, hyper productivity can lead to burn out and I definitely don’t want to do that. I’d rather take the small breaks as they come and jump back in after a couple of days, then burn out and not post for months. I choose not to overthink it and commit to doing better “tomorrow.” Committing to taking it one day at a time and doing the best I can with what I’ve got each day. Each day may not be brilliant but the act of creating is important. I’m committed to that.
