That I have it all together or that everything is a smooth operation. It's not, and I don't. Some days it feels like we're treading water, we're just keeping our head above water because there's so much to do. I often feel like there's so little time and I do not have a big team. It can be overwhelming at times. It takes a lot of hard work and long nights that exhaustion and frustration, all of that happens to me too. Social media paints this perfect picture of everyone's life. My life is pretty close to perfect. I'm very blessed and happy, but it doesn't come without struggle.
The second thing that I think people misunderstand about me is they might think that I am this social butterfly. You know, I put my face out there all the time andshow off my family, doing silly things and activities. I am a homebody. I don't have a lot of close physical friends. I have so many friends that live all around the world that I'm so close to, but I am the happiest when I'm in my home with my family. I think that sometimes people think that I'm much more outgoing than I actually am.
Opportunity for reflection: Do you find yourself comparing your life to someone else’s you see in social media? Maybe you even compare yourself to Shay! (Guilty). You are not the only one who falls prey to doom scrolling AKA scrolling yourself into an anxious mental space. Do not compare your insides to someone else’s outsides! Instead do this, PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN and go do ONE THING that makes you feel good about your business! Make that post, practice that technique, take that course, follow up with that client, buy that one thing for your business.
