Feel like you could be doing more in your business/art right now? Is this a perfectionism thing or is there some truth to the idea that you're not doing enough? And what to do about it?!

Let's dive in.

Also, come find me on Facebook over at facebook.com/realericahorowitz or on IG @realericah.

To learn more about my upcoming course, Dream Insurance, to make sure you stay on your path to greatness and, HELLOOO, actually ENJOY it, type in your email at mydreaminsurance.com to get the 411. Your dreams are sick of waiting around.

Helllllo, lovely people!

Do you work in life's spare moments?

If so, is your "come from" (your why, your motivation, the way you're showing up to do it) pure, or is it out of fear of too much to do and not enough time to do it in? Are you working to avoid looking at another area of your life?

If you're not currently taking advantage of life's little moments where you could be getting some awesome stuff done for your business and creative projects, how might you?

What scenarios regularly pop up in your life that can give you a little space and time to nurture your passion, even in a tiny way for a tiny amount of time? How might it be inspiring to work a little on vaca sometimes, and how will you know when that doesn't feel like the right option?

If you enjoy this episode, I would be so grateful if you would subscribe, and rate and review the podcast. This is how other dreamers will find out about City Girls Thriving, from seeing your glowing reviews and trusting that this is a place to turn for inspiration, education, and - let's be honest - a laugh at something random. I APPRECIATE YA!

I'm SO mad right now because I had this whole funny other song about potatoes and somehow it got deleted. Only thing is I'm more tired than mad so I'm accepting that it's just lost out there in the ether now. Sigh.

Not sure if you heard the news yet...I FINALLY GOT A NEW APARTMENT!!

AND WE'RE MAKING POTATOES!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M MORE EXCITED ABOUT!

WHY AM I STILL WRITING IN CAPS?!

Enjoy, subscribe, rate, review - all that good stuff. 

Much love,

Erica

When you don't feel like doing the thing...do you do it or not?

Tbh, I didn't really feel like recording and uploading an episode tonight..but here I am. And as much as I love you all for listening, I did it for me, first. I love doing the podcast!

There will always be those days, however, that you'd rather blow off even the FUN commitments.

In some cases, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing depending on your intention.

Tonight though, with the super low bar of entry to sit at my coffee table and talk to my phone and push a few buttons, coupled with the fact that I knew I'd feel good just showing up as I am in this moment, I decided to stick to what I said I'd do. And I'm glad I did. :)

Come hang with me on IG @realericah and Facebook at Facebook.com/realericah.

Much love!

Erica

You want fun? More time? Freedom? That doesn't come from hustling 24/7. While it feels counterintuitive, taking breaks and stepping away from your work/art can fuel you and produce more inspired and effective work when you do come back to it. AND more importantly, you won't look up in however many decades realizing you missed your life while you were so busy working on it.

Much love as always!

Hey, friends! Welcome back (or a brand new shiny welcome if you're new) to City Girls Thriving!

The title MIGHT be changing bc I'm not just speaking to women...but we'll see. :)

Anyway, in today's episode I'm sharing my morning routine this week, the cool new online course I'm creating for dreamers and go-getters, and a perspective I'm having on my creative process of MAKING that course that is helping me both get it done without overthinking/stress, AND making it something I really love and believe in.

We also have a #cookiedoughconversation because why not?

(Btw, the two cookie dough places in NYC that I mentioned are 2 Dough Boyz and Do.)

Shoot me a friend request on Facebook if you want to connect and stay up to date on the course and all other things. I'm over at Erica Horowitz and am wearing a red dress in the default pic. :)

You can also follow me on Instagram @ericaleighhorowitz.

THANK YOU in advance for subscribing to, rating, and reviewing this podcast! It helps me out a lot when you do that! I want to keep making these episodes and feel like I'm speaking to humans, not just my wall full of post-it notes. ;)
