You can do this
You can do this
Hi! I'm so glad you are here! I want to talk to you about some thoughts I had this week. This might be your situation as well.
This is a hectic moment in my life.
I've always liked the idea of "slow living", and after many years I got a day-to-day that worked for me. Since I like waking up whenever I feel ready and having a quiet breakfast with my dog and husband, and I also don't enjoy running around the city, I am more than happy to be able to work from home, doing what I love: Art. Of course, It's not always a bed of roses. I work in video games, as an art lead, and it can be stressful, especially because I don't feel prepared, even after 4 years of doing this!
I moved to Australia over a year ago, and it can be tricky to start over somewhere new, especially because you need to adapt to change and keep an eye on the goal. For "visa" reasons, I need to start studying for a master's degree. I chose a design master and I am excited about it. I feel it might be what I needed for my business(I have an Etsy shop) and to be honest, I wasn't going to do it if it was for me. I'll have to invest a lot of time and effort in it. I'll have to get off the house early, on time, which I know it's the most common thing to do, but I was so lucky for so long I didn't have to.
On top of that, I got a new project at work that is pushing me out of my comfort zone, like crazy. And also, I need to invest a huge amount of my free time in it.
At the beginning of the year, I started a side hustle in the hopes of, one day, becoming what I've always dreamed of: An entrepreneur.
There is so much to learn, that I thought the sooner I started, the better. Since I opened my shop I've made many mistakes. I still do! I realize this would have been easier If I had had some help from the start, and I do plan to get it at some point. Until now I've been exploring the business and myself as an artist and designer. I want to make something that fills my heart and brings joy not only to me but to other people. I am a designer, I am an artist, and I need to create my own stuff to feel that life is good. If I don't, everything seems dull and I start feeling miserable. I know, too much drama haha, but It is what it is.
Because I have so much on my plate, I thought the only way to do this was to pause my shop for a while, but I just couldn't.
I was feeling overwhelmed with everything that is going on and I started questioning(as I tend to do) if I had what it takes.
That's why last week I created a poster to print for my office. A reminder that I needed for myself, which is now up on my store in case you need it too.
I love affirmations and positive quotes. I use them all the time and they make me feel better. So, here it is, a reminder that whatever it is that we are trying to achieve, one way or another: You can do this.
Hope you like it. Hope it serves you.
Cheers
