Feelings are what they are but they are not great leaders. They are great indicators but they shouldn't be the reason why you do something (good or otherwise). The word reason itself relates to the mind, not emotions or feelings.

Give yourself a reason why you feel something and why there's a need to shout or yell. But also remember to be kind to yourself when you make mistakes. Beating yourself up doesn't help but learning and NOT repeating the same mistake is exactly how we can solve problems.

Today has been one of those few days when things just seem to click into alignment. I’ve just filmed some vlogs last night, been in the midst of finalizing a project, and decided to take part in a vibe-y membership group. I felt so abundant and grateful today that I stopped and warned myself to not feel too giddy with excitement or happiness because this might all go away anytime. I’ve got a feeling most of us are like that at some point. We’re scared when we’re too happy. We’re anxious when things finally go right. And we’re apprehensive when we finally get what we want.

This week, I am just over being productive. I’ve just had the realization that I don’t handle work pressure very well, which is a bummer because I’ve always pegged myself as someone who’s usually graceful and calm under pressure. But when it comes to making and doing stuff for work (i.e. client work), I can just easily forget everything and focus on completing the task at the last minute. And I do get to typically complete the project but at the expense of having to neglect other aspects of my life.

These were the things I learned from Week 26 of this year 2020 that may help with how you can spend energy to get back energy as well (but with the caveat of spending that energy with those who matter to you)…

The parts of you that you need to improve on are so important. It’s what paves the way for creativity and inspiration to take place because your weaknesses can determine how you adapt and, from there, create something beautiful. Last week I recorded a vlog for my Weekly Ideas newsletter about wondering what to do next. What do I even talk about? It feels like I’ve said what I wanted to say and repeating things will just be overkill.

And everyday is a mess. That’s okay. When everything seems blurry and confusing, that is okay. I’ve been talking with my wonderful, creative, courageous coach, Meg Kissack from That Hummingbird Life, recently. And we came upon this beautiful idea of a blog post about not reaching success (the end point) yet staying in the mess and feeling that that is still okay.

I rarely consume the news anymore nor log into Facebook at all. But every now and then, somebody informs me that so-and-so place recently had another positive case of Covid-19 or there’s another story or post on Instagram that shows more evidence of unnecessary misuse of authoritative power from so-and-so country or state, which led to women and men being placed under inhumane circumstances and stripped of their sense of dignity whatsoever.

…is blogging. Hey friend! 👋🏽 It’s your girl, Ellie, again writing to you on this very humid, going-to-rain weather in my place (the Philippines!). I just feel like my blog isn’t as casual as it used to be back in the day. So here I am just sharing thoughts yet again. 😉So far, I have been pondering and reflecting on what has transpired both in recent events (with trending news about racism in the U.S. and protests) and for the first half of this year 2020 (with the pandemic and all).

Make your creation process fun. And the only way to do this is to do you and be you. There really is no better way to create content than to make sure you’re having fun while doing it. Some days may seem less fun, but it doesn’t mean you should stop creating. Because this is your life now. Your life is creative now. It’s not just mindless work that makes you want to escape. Your work is now work where you go to escape. Hope you find value! :)
