I haven’t posted to Instagram in 6 days and I’ve been panicked. ⁣😩🥹 ⁣ Today, I’ve tried to load a reel no less then 30x and it’s failed 35. 😭⁣ ⁣ I’ve posted on this app nearly every day for 3 years and I feel guilty about taking 6 days off.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes, I just don’t have it. Some days I feel like I’ve said everything there is to say, I’ve shared every tip and trick I have, that I’ve worn everything in my closet and as a creative who feeds her family because of this app, that is so discouraging. ⁣ ⁣ So for every creator who shows up to pour out selflessly to inspire, who stays up late filming content and writing captions in hopes of making an impact or changing the one person who so desperately needed the message, or for the creator working hard to encourage others to dream again....⁣ ⁣ I see you. ⁣ ⁣ As glamorous as this life can be, it’s also a whole lot of work and oftentimes scary and intimidating. ⁣ I’m so thankful to YOU, my followers, for your support. Your comments, your likes, your shares and saves - your engagement fuels and motivates me to trust my process, to take care of myself and to acknowledge burn-out, so I can get back to serving you and being who I know God made me to be....⁣ ⁣ A CREATOR.⁣ ⁣ 🚨But I have to remember that resting and doing nothing at all is part of the creative process too and I hope this is a reminder for you as well.⁣ ⁣ I haven’t even begin to touch the surface of my hopes for this page & I’m so thankful to have you along for the ride as I continue to grow, stretch and evolve. ⁣ ⁣ I wasn’t sure if I was gonna share this and then I saw this post from @quotientinfluencers and knew I had to. ⁣ ⁣ How do you deal with creative or non creative burnout? ⁣ ⁣ Let me know below 👇🏾 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣📷: @melindawatts_
