Weekly Recap | Searching For A Rhythm

It’s been two weeks since my last weekly recap because sh*t has been hectic. I’ve been desperately searching for a rhythm and not finding it, which is one of my greatest frustrations. But rather than staying stuck in my state of frustration, which for me usually looks like adding more to my plate and just trying harder, I actually took steps towards dealing with the overwhelm this week.

After receiving some great suggestions from my IG community, I booked an appointment with a counselor. I’ve done counseling before and enjoyed the process, so I decided to give it another shot. I’m not convinced yet that this was the perfect fit for me, but I did leave the session with some useful takeaways.

I’m a pretty open book and not ashamed to talk about what I’m dealing with. For me, stress and anxiety occur when things don’t go as planned. This could look like my day being derailed by something unexpected and preventing me from getting to work I had planned on doing (which happens often with a baby) or it could look like a post that I’ve put a lot of work into that doesn’t get the results that I wanted.

Since having Mara, not a single day has gone as planned lol. Not only do I have the unpredictability of a baby, but Kirby’s job and schedule are also somewhat unpredictable. I finish most days feeling defeated and that itself is overwhelming. I’m sure many of you can relate to this!

So, I’m working on finding my own rhythm and defining my ideal day and how far off of it I really am. I’m trying to find a good flow state and accept that things will not always go as planned. Trying, anyway!

As for the results of my work, I’m trying to be nicer to myself in that aspect, but it’s tough. I have very high expectations of myself. That’s why it is so so appreciated when you share or even just like my Instagram posts or blog posts, or share my personal styling services with your friends. I can’t even put into words what that means to me.

This post is getting a bit long talking about my feelings and all that jazz, so we’ll wrap it up here, but if you’re curious to see some of the cool stuff that my little family and I got up to in the last two weeks, check out my Instagram feed!
