The end of my final diploma is quickly approaching.. I am super excited, but also terrified. For the first time in my life I am starting a "real job" and will be pushing myself out of my comfort zone. But, I am ready for bigger and better things, a career than I am passionate about and an industry I love so much. I have been feeling so excited to finish up my studies, get the website done, and start up my official social media pages. I have a lot of influences in the industry, so many nutritionists and other holistic health practitioners that have sparked so much inspiration inside of me. That being said, today I actually didn't feel so inspired, the opposite actually. I was browsing around on instagram and felt over whelmed and anxious. Afraid of failure. I started to see how much competition I have in the industry before me.. amazing nutritionists with so many followers, great websites, e-books, published books, hosting seminars, TV appearances, you tube channels, etc.. how am I ever going to compete with that? All of these thoughts and fears got me down for most of the day. Why?.. I am so close to getting my life in the direction I've been dreaming about for years. Those negative thoughts, they are not real. These people are not my competition, they are my connections and peers who share the same passion. I don't have to do everything that everyone else does or have as many followers, not right away, or ever. I have my own path and I am excited to see where it takes me. Balance is so important to me and I don't want social media and an online presence to be consuming too much of my time, become a stress, or take away from the real reason why I do what I do. They say "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life". That is so true.
