Navigating “The Slump”
Putting on my vulnerability hat to share that I find myself in one of the deepest slumps I have experienced since starting this small business.
I haven’t properly picked up my camera and gone out for a day of creating in months… I have thought about it, thought how nice it would be to be out, but haven’t followed through.
It’s gone on so long now that I’ll be honest, all kinds of self-doubt is starting to creep in. But there is this part of me that is also quietly letting me know that it’s OK and that my drive is returning. It’s strange to be the one haranguing myself for not being out there ‘hustling’, while also being the one reassuring myself that I’ll get back to it. It’s comforting to know that deep, deep down, my gut still knows that I am in this. That I am in the right place and that a little burnout is to be expected.
--- It’s not the first time I’ve experienced a slump, and it won’t be the last.
I genuinely feel that I’m coming around to the other side, and I honestly can’t wait to have new images to share with you soon!
Is this something that you’ve experienced before? I’d love to know how you found your way out…
In the meantime, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for hanging on through all the ups and downs. I appreciate you all sticking with me!
Just a short share to touch base with everyone, keep writing and get my thoughts out of my brain.
