EP66 - HOW TO GO FROM BUSINESS BURNOUT TO CREATIVE CEO
Feb 22, 2022
ARE YOU FEELING BURNT OUT IN YOUR BUSINESS?
Hey, Nicole Di Rocco here, and in today's episode, I'm diving deep into my personal experience of battling business burnout and how I transitioned into embracing my role as a Creative CEO.
Key Topics of the Episode:
-
Burnout Experience
- There was a time I felt utterly burnt out and completely void of creativity. Let me take you on a journey of how I landed there: a mix of getting COVID, supporting a sick family member, and yes, that endless Instagram rabbit hole.
-
The Instagram Epiphany
- I took a bold step and deleted Instagram from my phone for two whole weeks! It’s incredible how much clarity I gained. My challenge for you? Re-evaluate your relationship with social media and its impact on your creativity.
-
Waking Up to Lemon Water
- Switching up my morning routine, I swapped coffee for lemon water. Not only does it have tremendous health benefits, but it energized me in a way coffee never did. Perhaps it's time for you to shake up your morning ritual too?
-
Meditation
- With the newfound time (thanks to less scrolling), I began a daily meditation practice. Even just 5-10 minutes daily has been a game-changer. Have you ever considered the magic of silence and high-frequency music?
Action Items for You:
- Reevaluate Your Rituals: Jot down those daily habits. What’s serving you and what’s not?
- Try a Ritual Swap: Maybe you'll join me in the lemon water challenge? Swap one habit for a week and observe the shift.
- Gift Yourself Digital Detox: Even a short break from socials or Netflix can work wonders. Can you carve out 5 minutes daily just for silence?
- Nature's Healing Power: Step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and remember to leave your phone behind sometimes.
- Boost Your Creativity: Reflect on your high-inspiration moments. What can you bring back from those times?
- Mind Your Digital Diet: Limit fear-based content; it's essential for your creative spirit.
- Batching for Efficiency: Time to batch your content creation? Your focus and energy deserve to be used wisely.
- Limiting Distractions: When and where do you get your best ideas? Make that sacred.
- Stay in the Present: Experience life, not through the lens of your camera but with your very own eyes.
- One Change at a Time: Remember, dear listener, it's about consistent progress, not overnight perfection.
Closing Thoughts:
Thanks for joining me on this personal journey. Remember, as entrepreneurs, moms, creatives, or whatever hat you're wearing today, we need to prioritize our well-being to let our creativity bloom.
