Head down, buckle up

This week has felt like the first real test of doing this on my own. No safety net, no one else holding things together… just me and a lot of moving parts.

The funny thing is, it’s all good stuff. After feeling creatively suppressed for a while, everything has opened up again. Ideas are flowing, energy is back, and all the projects that have been sitting quietly have decided now is their time… all at once.

That’s the bit I’m watching. Because I know how easily I can go all in and tip into burnout. I’m not doing that this time. Not everything needs to happen today.

Fitness has been my anchor this week. Moving my body has cleared my head, helped me sleep, and made me sharper in my work. It’s such a simple shift but it’s changed everything.

The Pink Gorilla Collective has had a proper push. I’ve filmed all the tutorials and built out the content side, while Steph has been working her magic on SEO, website and copy. We’re both busy, but we’re so excited about this. It’s something we both needed back in the day, and now we get to build it for others.

This week has also made me really appreciate who has been there for me over the last wild year. I know my life doesn’t always sit comfortably with everyone, and that’s fine. But real friends say how they feel, give you advice, and still stand by you whatever you do. I probably won’t always take the advice, that’s just who I am, but I want people around me who feel comfortable enough to say it anyway. If you can’t do that, we’re probably not aligned.

I’m the same back. I’ll say it to your face, probably take the piss a bit, but I’ll always be there. That’s what good friends are for.

Dating has been… non-existent this week intentionally, thankfully and honestly, I’m fine with that. Berlin feels like a good place to have paused that chapter for a bit, while I focus on what’s in front of me. To my rota reading this, don't worry I'm not going anywhere, this week is a busy one. 

And in the middle of all of this, three new social media clients have landed, which a week ago I wished for and bugger me here they are. Anyone who knows me will tell you I think manifesting bullshit is just that, BUT I did make something happen. I believe that when you want something, set your sights and concentrate your efforts and work hard for it its more likely to appear or happen, thats all. So, validate those fears or nerves you get and fully focus on what it is you want to achieve, it wont be easy, nothing of value ever is but it will more likely happen if you focus.

So this week is simple. Head down, stay steady, don’t burn out.

Let’s see what happens next.
