The Weight of Consistency
I was driving home, emotions running high. I was late, nervous, and knew I only had a few minutes to play drums before preparing for my weekly Friday Night Live with Lady Lexy. The goal was to connect it to my blog post about being "in the thick of growth" — a post I’d been struggling to finish for weeks.
Since December 1st 2023, I’d been posting daily on Instagram, going live weekly, and writing blog posts. Consistency had been my mantra. But then, everything fell apart. The blog post became a weight tied to my ankle, dragging me down. I managed to keep up with Instagram, but the blog? It felt impossible.
Stuck in the Thick of It
The frustration wasn’t just about the blog—it was about feeling stuck. That overwhelming sense of not knowing which direction to go, like running into virtual walls. I sat in my corner of the virtual world, grumpy and fed up. But something shifted. I asked for help. I leaned into my emotions instead of fighting them.
And you know what? It worked. I smiled. I asked for a virtual hug, and I got it. I realized no one wants to be alone, even when we’re upset. The key was expressing my frustration without lashing out, leaning into vulnerability, and finding clarity in the chaos.
Release the Rush, Embrace the Rhythm
One mantra helped me through: Release the Rush. Embrace the Rhythm. It reminded me to slow down, breathe, and trust the process. Growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. And sometimes, that progress starts with simply showing up, messy and imperfect, and letting the rest unfold.
That mantra reminded me of something else as well. The importance of trusting the process. The mere fact that you’re reading this says it all!
Every boat has its rhythm. What’s yours today?
