How To Never Burn Out Again
Hot Take: Burnout is NOT a Rite of Passage. Artists do not need to experience burnout in order to create good work or grow a successful business, but so many of us do. Sadly.
But many of us don’t know that until we experience it.
So learn from me instead!
In 2021, I had my BEST year in business ever ever ever. Like wow. But I also went into complete and total burnout (nervous system shutdown and all). The things that brought me out of that overwhelming space were mostly energetic shifts:
1. Progress is Quiet and Slow. It’s OK for things to take time. I can be gentle and productive. 👏👏
2. I MUST feel rewarded for my energy. This sometimes means $, sometimes means fun, or freedom, or making an impact… feeling like your work is giving abundantly is everything.
3. Space to PLAY. Artists need to feel free and light and whimsical. Care for yourself. Release some pressure every now and then. Perfectionism is so heavy to hold.
4. Say NO to things that don’t excite you. There’s nothing heroic about bypassing your boundaries. We’re doing things purely out of obligation.
If you’d like a little bit more of an energetic boost, please join me in Share the Work later this month! It’s a four-day FREE course. We’ll be talking live over zoom about growing a sustainable creative business & enjoyingggg this work.
