    16. 5 reminders you NEED to tell yourself daily

    This week is solo episode number 2 babyyy! You loved Madison's last solo episode so we've decided to make it a monthly thing. You asked… we answered! Madison had quite the week, she opens up about being in a rut. She reflects on why we get into creative, mental or physical “ruts” and what that really means to her. Being a young, curious and relatable entrepreneur in her 20s, Madison highlights 5 reminders that she tells herself daily when she feels like she's in a rut or about to be in one… This episode is so good we wanted to make it easy for you to take notes! Here are the 5 points Madison discusses in the episode: 1. Remind yourself why you started. - No matter where I am in my career there are going to be stressors. Start to recognize if those stressors are working towards my goals or not. - Consistently check in to see if my “why” is at the core of what I'm focusing on. 2. Recognize when I need a fresh start/reset. - First of all, it's okay to not be motivated all the time… that's normal! - Try to notice when I feel a certain way, think certain things, or act a certain way prior to getting into a rut. Once I'm aware of that pattern, press the reset button before I get too burnt out. 3. STOP SCROLLING SO MUCH. - Stop casually scrolling on my socials and start to think WHY I'm actually on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube etc. - Try to only go on social media for short amounts of time & as soon as I feel myself comparing… I stop. 4. You are not alone. - It feels so good to open up to someone or just tell someone I'm not feeling the best. - Figure out who hypes me up and encourages me. - Become cautious who is in my circle! 5. Don't wait, start now. - No matter what I'll get something out of starting now. - Try to really think WHY I'm putting off starting _______ right now? - I don't want to regret not starting sooner or even better… see someone who started sooner and wish that I had too.
