⁣
PSA: You are WIRED to think negative thoughts. All. Day. Long.⁣
⁣
Literally, your brain’s own limbic system (think: the oldest/strongest/most cave-man part of your noggin’) is literally DESIGNED to hit the panic button at the slightest sign of danger.⁣
⁣
Now, back in the day of loin cloths and sabertooth tigers (Joe Exotic would be thrilled…) - this wiring was superrrr useful in keeping us, well… ALIVE.⁣
⁣
BUT, lucky for a lot of us - that daily need for survival isn’t the same anymore…⁣
⁣
Our beautiful BRAIN however, IS.⁣
⁣
Now, fast-forward to a world-wide pandemic, economic recession + a world where Charmin Ultra has basically replaced the dollar… + that brain of yours is having a fieldddd day!⁣
⁣
All of those negative thoughts you’ve been having?⁣
⁣
All of the worst-case-scenarios that keep running in the background?⁣
⁣
The insane amounts of anxiety you’ve been feeling basically 24/7 rate?⁣

🤯 It's a pretty mind-blowing thought, isn't it?⁣⁣⁣⁣

REAL TALK: who else has spent an *embarrassing* amount of time stalking their ex’s new girl on Facebook? 😅⁣
⁣
**literally everyone slowly raises their hand… LOL**⁣
⁣
Yeah SAMEEEE 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
+ We get it… + whether it’s:⁣
⁣
😬 …stalking old frenemies/hookup’s on Snapchat…⁣
😬 …eye-rolling your aunt’s racist FB posts…⁣
😬 …scrolling through insta-influencers photo-shopped bikini pics…⁣
😬 …following the most cringe-worthy celeb rants on Twitter...⁣
⁣
...most of us have accidentally curated our feeds to make us FEEL totally MISERABLE a LOT of the time! (#OhSh*t...) 💩⁣

So, gal - we want to ask you this: what’s the ‘PRICE OF ENTRY’ that you’re charging to get access to yo' PRECIOUS feed/mind? 👉🏼⁣

⁣
WHAT. A. SH*T. STORM. #AmIRight?! 💩 ⁣
⁣
This week has honestly felt like a scene straight out of 'Contagion' or 'I Am Legend'... + there's nothing like a nation-wide plea for toilet paper to remind us of the importance of the BASICS (literally). 😷 ⁣
⁣
😞 However, as crazy/uncertain as these times may be... it almost feels like the fear and overwhelm that we're all dealing with is just as infectious as COVID-19 itself... + our addiction to the feed isn't helping anyone feel ANY better.⁣
⁣
We WANT to stay informed. As humans, we CRAVE being in the know and we have a VERY hard time dealing with the unknown. We're wired for answers - and when it seems as though we're not getting any, our natural instinct is to... F*CKING. PANIC. 🤯⁣

More than HALF of the stellar local female entrepreneurs in this "Social Media Power Hour" at our downtown co-working space were GG followers - *squeals* 💕⁣
⁣

⁣ 
They were all SO. FRICKIN. NICE!!! ☺️⁣

These super sweet ladies were CRAVING connection with other badass girls bosses, they WANTED to level up their #social media game + they KNEW they had to get out of their perfectionist mindsets/classic comfort zones to do it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⁣

⁣
It's a mistake a LOT of female entrepreneurs make (us included!)... 😅 + tbh, you've probably already made it TODAY (#NoShame #AlwaysGrowGirl) 🙏🏼
⁣
Trying to function throughout your day, or get through the seemingly never-ending to-do's of your business list without INTENTION is like trying to find a Waffle House in the middle of Vermont without a GPS... *F*CKING. HARD* ⁣

You MIGHT get there, eventuallyyyy... but it's going to take you:⁣

We end up doing this SO often, that we just fall into the habits that no longer serve us, waste our own damn time or don't ACTUALLY get us RESULTS.⁣

👏🏾 The Importance of CELEBRATING your PROGRESS! 🎉

⁣⁣⁣
-- that we basically forget to spend ANY energy/time on celebrating our own progress along the way? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The truth is, we're often so preoccupied with trying to impress everyone else (usually with the best intentions!) - OR so focused on what's up next (on the to-do list, in the inbox, answering the kiddo's)... 🕰 ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
...that we don't even give our inner cheerleader the game-time to shineeee!!! ✨ ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣

UGH... the. Literal. Worst. 😭 ⁣

Not only does it feel like a waste of your precioussss entrepreneurial time — but then you’re also missing a chance to get your products/services in front of those dreamy clients that actually WANT WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER + CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!!! 🙏🏼 ⁣⁣
