How to get out of a rut and be productive

[@goodhealthgoodhome]

This is so helpful Bethany! I lost my cat about 2 weeks ago and I have been in a horrible headspace and couldn't get into my art. I have started planning my day and it is definitely helping. Thank you ❤

Great video Bethany, I've been feeling exactly the same and then get into the cycle of hiding away/ isolation which is so easy to fall into when working from home.

Thank you for sharing this aspect of art as a business and of the importance of mapping ones daily routines and finding space for ones personal lifestyle away from being in the front row seat of things. We only have one life and its important, as you have stated in this video, to be able to maintain a well planned worklife balance. I need to take on board all that you have shared and begin to turn things around in order to get and keep motivated. Thank you so much for sharing this. 😊

Hi Beth it's Andrei Pencilart and I really wanted to ask you this to prevent burnout...have you truly thought about a personal associate to help you out? You are such an amazing artist and it could help with your juggling of priority?

Thanks for this, Bethany. I struggle with the overwhelming feelings often. It seems like I'm a little opposite of you though. I never get overwhelmed when I'm busy. My art is my sole income so I'm happiest when I'm very busy. I begin to get anxious and depressed when I've finished that last commission and don't know when the next "paycheck" will come in even if I've had a more than great month money-wise. Do you ever go through this or do you just get overwhelmed when you're very busy?

Thanks for this comment Maria, and it’s a really valid point you make. So it’s all actually very linked, I dont ever get overwhelmed when I’m busy with the artwork as that keeps me productive but it’s more the management of the business side of things, because In order to keep going these days, it’s often about social media and marketing… trying to find balance is what I often find overwhelming. But more often than not, when I find myself in a rut it’s more because I’ve lost that balance between the business and my sense of self and that’s when I start to spiral. In terms of what you say about feeling anxious about the finance side of things, I think it’s so important to try and build up multiple income streams, both passive and active so you don’t have the real high and low months. Obviously some months will be quieter but by having multiple income sources within the business helps create a better flow I find 💓

@@BethanyVere Thanks for the reply. Okay, I understand what you mean. And thanks for the tip about passive income. I do have a problem figuring that one out! I can see that it would help a lot though. Again thanks for these types of videos. They do help and are inspiring. You're the best!
