Feeling behind ? π
|
Recently I've been feeling a strong sense of not doing enough and feeling behind Everyone in the blogging game seems to have a consistent social media content plan, send multiple emails a week and be making oodles of cash till the cows come home And even when the cows come home, these great big herbivores exclaim : WOW! We are IMPRESSED with the level of efficiency and progress these bloggers are making, next time we won't bother coming home ! I feel there is something wrong with me :( Why can't I be more efficient and make more progress, like these other bloggers? Why can't I impress herbivores with my oodles of cash when they come home? Then I got hit by an epiphany this morning, which made me feel a lot better It might make you feel a lot better too, if you get caught up in the comparison game Quick one before the epiphany β β
There is HUGE demand for Pinterest VAs at the moment, so if you want to make a bit of extra cash and you are creative, this is the best way to monetise that skill in 30 days β
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ β β β β My mum walked in and switched the lights on Yes I was eating toast in the dark -_- #moodlightingβ¦ I told her I felt like I wasn't making enough progress and that I should be making WAY MORE from my blogs by now What am I doing wrong? Am I doomed to fail? She said simply : β βMaybe you have other forms of wealth, apart from money?β β What if you and I are actually REALLY wealthyβ¦. but we don't realise it You see, by playing the comparison game and trying to compare our lives with others We are narrowing our focus to one simple thing : money But wealth isn't just about money is it ? Because, imagine you are earning $500k a month from your blogs, but you have no family, no partner, your health is in bad shape, you are stressed, overworked, constantly anxious and you don't have time to travel or see the world β¦ Or what if you are a millionaire named Von de Pong, but you are an arsehole that has chronic back pain, and bad breath ? O_O Are you truly wealthy ? β All this time I feel guilty and worry, I am reducing my wealth, instead of enjoying it ! Instead of enjoying the wealth of good health, free time and health to go to a frigging jungle sauna with my sistersβ¦ I am taking that wealth and denying myself from spending it, by focusing only on one aspect of wealth I hope I don't sound like a tutti frutti whispery hoo haa fruit loop, but its as a simple as asking yourself: β
β β Do they have the beautiful kids that wake you up in the morning for a cuddle? Do they have the special laughs you have with your partner /parents / siblings/friends on the weekends ? Do they have your strong legs (and eyebrows ) and a big brain ? Do they have your special ability to communicate or listen ? Can they even draw?? (er, I canβt!)) Do they have a loving partner or pet who adores you ? The list goes on You have the wealth you are supposed to have right now, whatever form that is β Don't deny yourself from spending it Embrace it, enjoy it, strut around your strong eyebrows and stop beating yourself up Fill your day with gratitude and enjoy the richness and abundance in your life today, because if your other forms of wealth go tomorrow, you will suddenly wish you had it β β That's all from me today Have a great weekend, you wonderful bunch of wealthy folks ! β Aisha xx Ps; Do you want to see pics of this jungle sauna?? It's next to a river and involves us wrapping ourselves in sarongs streaming ourselves like dumplings O_O I wasnβt sure if you all liked me including pics at the end of my emails β¦. Reply and let me know if you want me to continue sharing them ! β β My courses and E-Book: β

If money wasn't an issue... Do you know what I'd do? This means that if I were super rich and never had to work another day in my life.... I'd write a book You see, I've always loved writing It's a form of release for me I've never been very creative π Both my creative sisters became interior designers, while I went on to do boring Law at university. Even when I draw super basic stick men, they look disproportionate and ugly. But writing is my way of drawing and painting into the world It's a...
I write this with one hand on my keyboard, my newborn in another. I am still on maternity leave, but I realized I only pre-wrote and scheduled 2 months' worth of emails.
