BURNOUT

Haven't posted a blog in a little while. So much has happend between my last post and now! Genuinly had the best day of my life at the DOGMAN premiere. Literally finished my first short film and the feeling is amzing. But one thing I have been expiriencing recenlty is what most would call burnout... I have realised that during the past few months I haven't actually given myself any time to actually rest. I have rested my body sure but not my mind. I have found myself getting a little more easily distracted in my down time, especially when it was time for me to come back onto to instagram when promoting the film... In fact that may have been when it started. Obviously that's what instagram is desighned to do. Keep you hooked. Too much content, too much infomation all at once. I think I have been using how hard I have been working to justify some of the bullshit I have been doing in my down time e.g. scrolling on socials, watching youtube etc. not to say there is anything wrong with that, but when you do those things I have realised that you are not resting. These activities like digesting content this heavily is actually highly draining and has the opposite effect.

I want to constantly evolve and apart of that process is understanding what areas in my life I need to evolve in. So for me personally I belive it is for me to remove distarctions (Things that do not serve me) and focus on what matters. I may have quoted him already on my blog page but in the words of Heaven (Dogman) "Once you remove the things that no longer serve you, all that is left are the things that do", and I fully belive that. Gonna give myself one day a week to really review, reset and recharge. Giving myself some time to structure new habts that ground me and keep me in alignment with the version of myself that I want to be.

Burnout difently exists but not simply as a result of the work you put in, but the lack of intential rest you give yourself. I have realised that rest in apart of the work and without structure it is hard to intentianally find the time to rest aswell as doing everything you need to do to win. Rest, structure and focus. These are the keys I am now working on. I'll let you know how it goes. Intential high Quality rest & sleep, A structured work life and removing all distarctons. Time to make it happen.

Also had an interview yesterday! Was so good! I love the questioned she asked me and it helped me to articulate myself more and understand my mission even more. I genuinly want to be an example that no matter where you're from, no matter what it is, you can make it happen. who would have thought so much good would have come out of me deciding to create my own opportunities... The best has yet to come. I am truly grateful.

This is a long post lol. I guess that's what happens when I haven't written a blog for a while. I promise these aren't always going to be this intense lol. But I am happy that I am finally sitting down to spill my thoughts onto the page. I'm also grateful for these new realisations. I can't help but quote my friends, but as Jojo once said to me "Drastic change takes drastic action", It's time to do exactly that.
