The Other Side of Content Creation

In February 2023, I took a leap into the world of content creation. I had no clue what to expect, where to begin – it was a real leap of faith. But you know what? Going after my deepest dreams was long overdue, and let me tell you, every second has been worth it.

Let's talk about the flip side of content creation. I've always been the kind of person who never leaves things unfinished, someone who meditates, exercises twice a day, reads, and eats healthily. Yet, when I started working for myself, especially crafting travel-related content, life turned into chaos.

Maintaining my exercise routine and a healthy lifestyle became a challenge. Amid these changes, I realized an important truth: life isn't always the balanced picture I thought it would be. Sometimes you work until midnight, one, or two in the morning, trading sleep for the “necessity” of achievement – until it catches up and you're mentally exhausted.

And you know what? That's perfectly fine. Embarking on a new path means reshaping everything. Maybe exercise is cut to four times a week, maybe you work more than the so-called norms. But here's the bottom line: in the end, what are you chasing after?

Our lives come in cycles, always shifting. But through it all, I've learned one thing: my health should always be among my top three priorities.

No matter the cycle you're in, make time for yourself, whatever that looks like. I would love to hear from you: how do you prioritize your well-being and self-care? Let's chat in the comments!
