Why Rest and Trust Are Essential in the Creator's Journey
The power of patience
Hello dear friend,
When you join a gym, one of the first things an instructor would tell you is how important rest is. When you work out, you strain your muscles. Next, you need to let them rest so you can improve endurance and gain strength.
The same is true for being present online.
When you write a new article or produce another video, you need to allow it some time before it can reach its intended audience.
If you immediately start obsessing over stats, you’ll feel disheartened. Morever, the insane stress of needing to produce a new piece of content every single day would bear down on your mental health and make it hard for you to keep pushing on.
One of the major skills every creator needs in their arsenal is patience.
When you launch a product, publish an article, or release a video, you need to give it some time before you start expecting results.
In the meantime, allow yourself some time off, and take a much-needed break.
I know your monkey brain might tell you that you’re a useless piece of trash if you create nothing for a whole day, but rest is just as important for creativity as constant ideation and execution are.
So, take that nap. Go for a walk. Treat your body to some exercise.
You don’t have to always be striving and that’s okay. Sometimes, it’s important to trust in your handwork and believe it has laid the foundations that will reap fruits even when you aren’t constantly building something new.
Trust the process. The results will come when the time is right.
