Wanted to talk to you about when you hit that brick wall, when you are trying to produce good quality work, when you’re trying to work on your business, when you’re trying to put in all these tasks and all these things that you want to implement to help you and your business grow, and you hit a wall.

You hit a wall, you start to overthink everything, imposter syndrome kicks in, you start to actively procrastinate and get nowhere.

Now, I inherited the nickname ‘machine’ many years ago because I was always that type of person that when I was given a challenge, I would be the first one in, I’d get on it, I’d do it and I’d come out the other end on top, I did, but that, that momentum doesn’t last forever and what happens is sometimes we just hit that brick wall.

We hit that wall, we start to overthink, we start to doubt what we are doing. Like I said, imposter syndrome can kick in. And what we do is we just end up being busy doing nothing. I want to just say this is completely normal.

This is completely normal and what you have to do is listen to yourself, listen to your head, listen to your body. And if you are starting to not get anywhere with these challenges that you’re saying yourself, take time out, even if it’s five minutes just to get out, get away from your computer, get away from the tasks you’re trying to do, and just do something for you, go for a walk, have a coffee. This happened to me this week and I was just getting nowhere with what I wanted to do.

So I just thought that’s it I’m having a night off, I packed my computer away and I am having a night off because I am not producing any good quality work.

So, I want to reach out and say that this is normal and powering through will get you nowhere and what will happen is the day after, you will look at what you’ve produced and thought, shit, that was crap, that was crap, I wasn’t in the right Headspace.

So, listen to yourself, take that time out and then what you will find is when you get back on that tomorrow, or when you get back on that a few hours later, you will then be able to produce better quality work that you will be proud of.

So make sure you listen to your mind, listen to your body and don’t always be that machine that powers through.
