Hey. I know it’s Monday. I know that things have been tough lately. I’ve talked with so many creators who are tired, hurt, worn out, burned out, and full of fear that I’m wondering if this is the “new normal” I keep hearing about.
But it doesn’t have to be. And if you’re feeling this way, I have some encouragement for you.
First, you’re not alone. I promise that you’re not the only creator who is feeling the way you’re feeling. If 2020 knocked your feet out from under you, and you still haven’t been able to regain your balance in 2021, you’re not the only one.
I had a conversation with a friend over the weekend where I confessed that I felt like I had “failed” the creative gauntlet that was 2020. But as she reminded me, I didn’t. Because I’m still here. And you’re still here. And that is everything.
Second, you’re a lot stronger than you think. I know it’s hard to keep moving forward, even in daily life, even outside of your creative project(s). But you can keep going. You can do this.
You’re here for a powerful purpose, and that purpose doesn’t lessen, even when the world drags you down. Things will get better. Just keep going.
Words & warmth,
Sarah
