Practicing being much kinder to myself... starting with daily exercise, a healthier diet, and meditation focused on mindfulness & sleep. Some recent life events brought me to the inevitable realization that my relationship with my work had reached an extremely unhealthy place. - I am a workaholic, and a perfectionist to an unhealthy degree... I say ‘yes’ to WAY more than I can actually handle, all while trying to do EVERYTHING myself- constantly attempting to squeeze unfathomable workloads into each & every day. And when I didn’t get the results I was after, I felt the only remedy was to work even harder. As a result, my sleep was suffering greatly (averaging just over 4 hours a night for months at a time). This inevitably took a serious toll on my mental & physical health. I constantly felt like the walls were caving in on me... Small problems felt like giants obstacles, and those tiny bumps in the road of life suddenly looked like unsurmountable mountains. - HEALING IS NOT LINEAR, but with the help of some incredible friends, mentors, & professionals, I finally feel like I am on the right path to finding some balance in my life... and most importantly SLEEP! - IT’S OK TO GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK... AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO ASK FOR HELP. In this industry we are constantly setting unrealistic standards on ourselves, trying to keep up with what we see our peers doing on social media. I, like many, was getting too caught up in appeasing an algorithm, or being pressured to deliver unrealistic numerical goals. Honestly, FUCK THAT NOISE! I am focusing back on what is most important: being creative and giving my fans my best self... and I can only do that if I give 'ME' my best self first. - So I’ve hit the reset button, I see the path ahead, and I'm excited to get back on the road with you all. - Once again, thank you for all of your patience, understanding, and endless love. Some of you have brought me to tears (happy tears) with your kind words in the last couple of weeks, and I'm so grateful I have the support from the best community in the word! I have learned so much from you all, and I'm going to continue to learn, grow, and give you my very best Me. 💗,Justin
