Movement

Life has been life-ing! I haven’t been able to keep up with writing these but I still have been doing stuff and there’s still movement. Side note: Follow me on Instagram & TikTok (@bychabz) and you’ll know that I’ve staaayed creating. But this is perfect because it’s what I want to talk about today.

I had a friend recently ask me how I stay motivated to keep on showing up & being creative because I have been consistent.

My first thought was ooohhh that’s a really good question because personally I have been struggling with that because even though I was posting something everyday on social media, I wasn’t showing up the way I wanted to.

My second thought was “hahaha thanks! I have been consistent haven’t I? But not at the same time (for reasons, I just stated 5 seconds ago).”

So what I told her was, I don’t think motivation is the right word because we won’t always be motivated to do something but it’s more discipline. But now come to think about it, I feel like discipline isn’t also the best word because it sounds intimidating. I think the best way to do something is by just doing it. I know it’s easier said than done but really all you need to do is just start. Even if it’s just once a week it’s better than nothing. Then eventually you can add more days. Some movement is better than no movement! Don’t get me wrong though, it’s okay to stop and rest if you’re not feeling it. The thing that you’ve been wanting to do will be waiting for you and you’re exactly where you’re meant to be :)

Speaking of meant to be, lol I don’t know if that’s the best transition but I have all my self portraits that I haven’t posted since June! I’ll try do my best moving forward with these.

Until then, keeping on being your best self 💋
