Stress less to accomplish more! Personal journey of a Female Brand Photographer

I have been beating myself up for some time now for not being active on social media: sharing my creative work, branding blog or post stories of my beautiful clients like others....

I simply don't feel like doing any of that at the moment!

My head is spinning with all information out there about uncertain time ahead of us!

I feel sort of under "societal pressure" as an international creative purpose driven female photographer and videographer (based in sunny Brighton, London,Sussex, UK), freelancer, business owner, artist, light worker (ex-finance person) to be visible even more!

Do you feel that way too?

The idea of contributing to the flood of live videos (not that I ever go live but never say never), growing number of FB groups, membership programs, moving from offline to online, launching new online product and service is not appealing to me at that moment...

Maybe its time to face my shadows around that?

Maybe...

But what if...

Rather pushing, fighting, pivoting, following and copying what others freelancers, business owners, influencers are doing at this moment, I just slow down, stop and completely PAUSE and listen what's really calling me?

Pause to tune in what is my gift to be offered out there at the moment and in the future?

What if...

Now is the time to rethink, reevaluate, redesign, reshape my thoughts, values, believes, priorities, desires professional and personally...and don't rush to react?

What if…

Now is a time to do what I put off for many years because I had no time, energy or simply because of other priorities:

  • meditating

  • reading book

  • painting

  • reconnecting with my relatives

  • studying

  • writing journal

  • exploring my other gifts

  • simply being creative and enjoying the present moment.

What if...

Now is time to accept being at the "wonder state" of life?

So let's take a deep breath and see what's TODAY has to offer.

Let me know in comment below how it goes for you?
