107. Take Care of Your Mental Health in the Dark Season
As we navigate through the dark season, it’s important to prioritize our mental well-being and practice self-care.
Learn the 7 pieces of a sustainable business
Episode 53
Rest and Rejuvenate
With lower energy levels during this time, it’s completely normal to feel a drop in motivation and drive. Embrace the opportunity to indulge in cozy moments, wrapping yourself in warmth and catching up on your favorite Netflix shows. Remember, rest is necessary!
Discover Your Motivational Factors
To keep your business momentum going, find business-related activities that ignite your inspiration. Collaborate with a business friend on exciting projects or consider seeking coaching to keep yourself motivated. Adapt your strategy and plan for the future, taking into account your seasonal energy fluctuations.
Design Your Business Around You
Your business should work for you, not vice versa. Get to know yourself and prioritize your needs and desires. If you flourish with frequent shoots, build a business model that supports it. On the other hand, if editing drains your energy, consider outsourcing it. Your journey to success should reflect who you are and what you love.
Conclusion
Remember, your mental health matters. Designing your business in alignment with your needs not only promotes your well-being but also reduces competition in the market. Don’t hesitate to reach out! Feel free to DM me on Instagram at @IngvildKolnes if you have any questions or if you’re interested in working together.
PS: I’ll be hosting a Q&A episode soon, so send in your burning questions.
