Cristina Zenato Instagram – “Are you trying to keep your brain from spilling out?”
If you think that because people appear strong and determined and have created a path and life for themselves and always have it together, think again!
Being strong includes showing vulnerability, being determined helps through failures and setbacks but it doesn’t mean these don’t happen and make us feel defeated.
As an independent professionals we deal with all aspects of the business, all day. It’s a huge effort at a certain point to close “shop” because it’s in our heads, in our phones, emails and the world never shuts down.
Having to deal with weather, boats, animals, people, gear, topped off with living on an island where not everything is readily available can throw numerous challenges at any given time.
Mornings is when the list comes out, sometimes the same list several days in a row, because the previous day we were too busy or new unexpected challenges that took priority, surfaced.
Scrolling through social media may give us the incorrect perception that everyone else around us has it all put together; they don’t, we don’t. It’s part of the process having to constantly overcome challenges; the important part is not let the hiccups stop us in our tracks, but that we use them to find better solutions. I see these moments as the perfect time to review how I was operating and rethink it for a better possible alternative.
