Repeat it over and over. You make the rules. You b Repeat it over and over. You make the rules. You bring into your life what you're truly available for. Freelance writing is a lovely career choice, but it's not a be-all, end-all solution if you're low-vibe and making excuses. You have to decide you're going to receive those important things. That you're made for those things. That you won't settle for less than those things. That's your "why". Then the career becomes the channel through which you make the inevitable a reality. ✨⠀ ⠀ #freelancewritingcafe #happymonday #mondayvibes #mondaymorning #mondaymood #freelancewriter #freelancewriting #freelancewriters #freelanceinspiration #freelancewritertips #freelancewritingtips #freelancewritingsuccess #freelancewritingbusiness #freelancingfemales #womenwhowrite #writersofinstagram #freelancesuccesstips #freelancesuccess #upworkfreelancer #freelancelifestyle #freelancelife #writerslife #remoteworker #remotefreelancer #remotewriter #workfromanywhere #workhardanywhere #mobileoffice #digitalnomad #creativepreneur
Not okay? That's okay. A Monday morning reminder t Not okay? That's okay. A Monday morning reminder that it's valid to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and out of control sometimes. When that kind of Monday hits, here's what to do:⠀ ⠀ ☕️ 1. Take a step back and breathe. Acknowledge. Yep, this is going to be a challenge, but today won't be "lost" to anxiety. You're still in control.⠀ ⠀ ☕️ 2. Decide one of two things: Dive into your plan for the day and keep busy, work through your task list fully knowing and appreciating that you're not feeling your best. OR: Decide to take the day off, postpone meetings, and put up that auto-responder.⠀ ⠀ ☕️ 3. Connect with someone you trust and let them know what you're feeling today, even if it's a single sentence. It will put you into context, which is so important. Isolating yourself will perpetuate the heaviness.⠀ ⠀ I used to give advice to the tune of: "Show up, be professional, no matter what" to my freelance writing fam... But as I get older and life gets more unpredictable, I believe in making ample space for pausing, experiencing, and recovering.⠀ ⠀ As I write this, I'm having one of those days. So if you are too, just know that you're not alone. ❤️ There's MORE to freelance success than getting clients and producing awesome work. Sometimes it's about protecting yourself for the long term, which means treating yourself well in the short term.⠀ ⠀ #freelancewritingcafe #happymonday #mondayvibes #mondaymorning #mondaymood #freelancewriter #freelancewriting #freelancewriters #freelanceinspiration #freelancewritertips #freelancewritingtips #freelancewritingsuccess #freelancewritingbusiness #freelancingfemales #womenwhowrite #writersofinstagram #freelancesuccesstips #freelancesuccess #upworkfreelancer #freelancelifestyle #freelancelife #writerslife #remoteworker #remotefreelancer #remotewriter #workfromanywhere #workhardanywhere #mobileoffice #digitalnomad #creativepreneur

I want to say something potentially audacious... 😳 But hear me out:⠀ ⠀ I don't entertain low-frequency stress fests anymore. Sometimes they get me for a second, or even an hour, but then I snap out of it and refocus my attention.⠀ ⠀ I got out of the 9-5 and DESIGNED my own version of daily life to avoid those moments of "omg omg what if I'm not good enough, what if I don't know anything" (because that's how I felt as a cog in the ol' machine).⠀ ⠀ I work my ass off. I don't pretend freelancing is all smooth sailing. But this is MY path to carve out, and that's satisfying to me. I'm lucky to be doing this. Sure, I feel confused/hopeless sometimes, but at the end of the day I can say I created this life for myself.⠀ ⠀ So... here's what I think:⠀ ⠀ Freelancers need less stress and more optimism. 🌞⠀ Less over-thinking and more action. ⚡️⠀ Less NEEDING to know the outcome and more trusting in ourselves. 💓⠀ ⠀ And yes, more pride and self-love for choosing this path we've chosen.⠀ ⠀ And guess what! Believing in yourself ISN'T just for you. You bring that same energy to your emails, your projects, your social presence... and see what happens. Others will notice. Let's raise the frequency of the entire freelance workforce.⠀ ⠀ We're not here to hustle and grind 'till we die. We're trying to live a lush, satisfying, creative life. Right?⠀ ⠀ Today, see if you can ACTIVELY choose to raise your vibrations right out of the stress and second-guess-fests. Let's make the absolute best of each day we have and embrace each challenge we hit.⠀ ⠀ I believe in you all!!⠀ ⠀ /Post-coffee ramble ☕️⠀ MC⠀ ⠀ #freelancewritingcafe #happymonday #mondayvibes #mondaymood #freelancewriter #freelanceinspiration #freelancewritertips #freelancewritingtips #freelancewritingsuccess #freelancesuccesstips #freelancewriting #upworkfreelancer #freelancelifestyle #freelancelife #writerlifestyle #workfromanywhere #workhardanywhere #mobileoffice #digitalnomad #creativepreneus
