In today's podcast, I talk about doing that ONE thing for 30 days.  I typically do this when I'm trying to start a new habit or get into a groove, but I really do it when it comes to creative work.  It helps me get out of my head.  It helps me let go.  And it helps me show up for the process... because the truth is... we will never get better if we don't do what it is we want to get better at.

I was having a rough morning.  I sat down to do a project and nothing I did felt good enough.  It felt like I was banging my head against a wall. Super frustrating.  Today, I share a little bit about that moment and how to keep moving forward when we start feeling that way.

In today's episode, I share a comment from a listener about how being hard on ourselves when we start a new journey can kill our progress and make us stop all together. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/the-future License code: ZZZ3WKVKPGS7KAKV

Do you ever find yourself saying things like:  "I'll start writing when I feel inspired." Or, "I'll work on that project when I get the inspiration." I used to do this all the time and I found no problem with it until I realized I was putting all of my creative works and the business I wanted to start building into the fickle hands of sporadic and inconsistent inspiration.  In this episode, I offer another game plan.  Instead of waiting for inspiration, set an appointment with it instead.

Today's episode is completely unedited, unstructured... it's basically what a really rough draft or a day one truly looks like.   As someone who has hosted four podcasts, I could give you something more polished but I'm choosing not to.  I'm doing this because I want to put one of my worst podcasts as my Day One to give you the courage to start.  And give you the permission for your Day One to look like this.   Let's be scared together.  Let's be vulnerable together.  Let's figure this out and be on this journey, together.

Welcome to the Rise Grind Relax podcast where my intention is to teach, inspire, and motivate you to create the time and systems you need to build the life you want and set boundaries around work so you can enjoy your life while you work your ass off.  Just because we have full-time jobs or families shouldn't exclude us from being the person we envision ourselves to be and having the life we want to have.  Let's take this day by day, hour by hour if we have to in order to grow into the person we want to be that has the life we want to have.
