Prevent Overwhelm, Burnout, And Stress Through Self-Care

When you aren't treating yourself with loving care, it's definitely easy to fall into the trap of overworking, overdoing, and overextending yourself. Avoid that by making self-care a priority. Not later, but right now. Are you listening?

Hey everyone, Voomshika here. Another video in my series. I'm so grateful again that you're watching me or listening to me wherever you guys are. My website is TheMillionaireHippie. Com and I've been posting a lot of blog posts on it, A lot of content on it, A lot of podcasts and ebooks and all that and I've just been creating, I've been on a creative frenzy. It's just been insane how many words and stuff that I've been writing every single day. The interesting thing though, The reason I wanted to talk to you guys today is that no matter how much I do, No matter how much I create, No matter how much work I do in a day and I work a lot, I do work a lot just like you guys do, I still feel like I am not doing enough and I think that's one of the reasons why is because no matter how much I do, I'm always looking to what I still have to do. I do not pay attention ever and never go back to the stuff that I've already done. I never look at it again. It's all in the past, It's done, It's over with. I never look at it and I always just look to what I still have to do and my to-do list, I love to-do lists and my to-do list is a million miles long. I have so many things I want to do, So many books I want to write, So many podcasts I want to speak on, So many videos I want to create, So many blog posts, So many people I want to connect with, So many dinners I want to have, So many food I want to eat, So many places I want to visit, So much I want to do and there's so much left for me to do that I never actually pay attention to all that I've accomplished and I always feel overwhelmed. I have this sense of overwhelm all the time. I feel like I haven't accomplished enough and that's not a really good headspace to come from especially when you're trying to create new things. Creativity comes from a good healthy headspace when you are feeling good about yourself, When you're feeling joyful, When you're feeling magical, That is when you're going to be creating your best stuff and as an entrepreneur we forget that we are creative beings. We are creating a new beast all on our own. This is our baby, Our business is our baby, Our books are our babies, Our blog posts are all created from ourselves. Created from the essence of who we are and if we forget that then we'll forget that the creativity requires all of us to be at our peak and if we are at our peak then we're not feeling overwhelmed, We're not feeling like we're not doing enough, We're not feeling bad about the stuff that we're doing. We're feeling good of ourselves, We're feeling like we're doing a lot, We're feeling like we're moving forward, All of those positive affirmations. And so I really want you guys to remember that when you are an entrepreneur or you're doing anything creative or you're doing anything in life in general which is creative because everything in life is creative then you need to remember that you need to reward yourself for the past and this is something that's going to come up over and over again the stuff that I'm speaking about because I've been noticing that in a lot of posts that are coming up on my board especially because of the fact that it's Christmas time, It's the holidays, It's busy, Not only are we working but we're spending time with family, We're going to all these parties, There's a lot going on and so all of it is causing us to feel overwhelmed and we're feeling like we're not doing enough for our business or for our creativity. I write thousands of words every single day, Almost every single day but I still feel like I'm not writing enough and that is the head space that I'm coming from. It's just something that I have to deal with on my own. It's my own perfectionist type of personality that is pushing me to be like that but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing because eventually I burn out because I feel like I'm not doing enough and then I need to take a couple of days off from everything in order to recharge myself. If I remember to recharge myself every single day, I wouldn't do that to myself. Do you know what I'm saying? So please be careful especially in this holiday season, Especially at this time when people get really overwhelmed to be careful and to make self-care a priority of yours. Make sure that you meditate, Make sure you take your time off, Make sure you take care of yourself, Make sure you take a bath or whatever it is that you do to take care of yourself, Different people do different things. So please take care of yourself, Please prevent the feeling of overwhelm, Take care and I hope that you guys have an amazing week wherever you are.
