How I Grind
Mother by day, hustler by day
I’m a hypocrite.
I tell people every day to focus on positivity and to believe in themselves. I tell people to love themselves and treat themselves kindly. I speak as if I know what I’m talking about. And the truth is, I really do understand the theory of happiness at its core. I understand the theories behind self-improvement and building your own trade. I’m in the thick of it and logically speaking, I know exactly what I need to do to become successful, and how to feel good now.
But I still put myself down every day.
I struggle to come up with ideas for my writing and that makes me feel insecure. My figures have definitely increased in all aspects — in followers, reads, and financially, but they’re not groundbreaking.
Yet.
And while I know that’s OK, I still wonder whether I’m doing the right thing.
Managing Dream Vs Reality
I get self-doubt every day, but I have learned to manage it. Some days I engage with it, some days I tell it no thanks.
If I listened to society, if I used deductive reasoning, I would conclude that I am wasting my time trying to make a living from writing.
