Ditching FOMO & Finding My Flow

Writer's picture: Kirsty AllenKirsty Allen

A Much-Needed Reset


This January felt like a much-needed reset. A chance to ditch the FOMO and rediscover what truly brings me joy. Let's be honest, our businesses take up so much of our time so it's important to reset from time to time, encourage our brains to rest and recharge, in the hopes it'll inspire us in the coming months.


So, I decided to embrace hobbies, weave positive habits into my schedule, and simply enjoy the present moment.


This month, I've:


* Celebrated the start of the new year with my fiancé (and miraculously, he managed to stay awake this year!).

* Had two wedding meetings (exciting!).

* Embarked on an audiobook journey. (Side note to my fellow readers: Spotify's 15-hour monthly limit is serious BS).

* Caught up with friends and started planning more wedding adventures.

* Continued my yoga journey, building my core body strength and balance.


These moments have been incredibly rejuvenating. It's a reminder that life is more than just work, even when you're passionate about what you do.


The "Do More" Dilemma


However, there's this nagging voice in the back of my mind urging me to "do more" with my business. Often working full-time and juggling a side hustle can leave you feeling drained, making it hard to find the motivation to keep going after a full days work. Which in turn makes you feel guilty for not spending time on your business, which can cause procrastination and decision paralysis.


I know I'm not alone in this. Many side hustlers and business owners face this constant internal struggle – the desire to grow versus the need for balance.


Finding the Balance


At the end of the day, side hustling should be an enriching experience, not a source of constant stress. We should be able to find that balance that makes us happy, fulfilled, and proud of ourselves.


This journey of self-discovery and business growth is an ongoing one. There will be moments of doubt and uncertainty, but I believe that by staying true to my values and focusing on what truly matters – both personally and professionally – I can create a business that not only supports me financially but also enriches my life and makes a positive impact on the world.
