How I took care of my low mental health this week
Dec 18, 2022
This week I reached the peak where I needed to give myself a minute. Recently, I have felt quite overwhelmed and rather than resolving it or trying to get into some sort of order, I have tried to ride it out and given myself burn out. I'm self-sabotaging at this point.
I'm currently experiencing a mixture of feelings. I feel like I have been burning the candle at both ends but also feeling like I haven't done enough. My life has been so consumed with working on my business and making that a success that I feel like I have neglected my OnlyFans in the process. SX filming days have slowly taken over my OnlyFans content days. Don't get me wrong, I will always aim for making content any chance that I get when I am away filming, however I feel I don't get as much time to produce the same quality content that I used to. I am also anxious that I am not giving my subscribers the attention that I did before. As you can imagine, the time I have engaging has decreased since starting SX Creators.
That being said, there has been a few perfectly timed moments this week that have really helped me.
Firstly we had the SX creators weekly email. This week's topic was about looking after your mental health. The irony! It's funny because I preach that creators should look after their MH yet I can't seem to take my own advice when I could really use it. Haha!
I then recieved the most heart warming message from a subscriber. He reminded me of what a great OnlyFans I run and that my content is amazing (his words not mine!). I CRIED!! This subscriber will probably never understand the full extent of how appreciative of his message I was and how much his message gave me the boost that I desperately needed.
I have also been away for a collab with 2 beautiful creators. Feeding from their motivation and knowing I was going to have amazing content that I can give to my OnlyFans really helped. While I was away, I took this as an opportunity for some self care. I switched off from work, had a hot bath and followed it up with a cup of tea in bed watching Tv. Sometimes that's all you need.
Last but not least, I have started to utilise the new spicy creator planner that my team and I created. Maybe I shouldn't have written in it just yet when I still needed to make marketing videos, but needs must. It has helped me write down and plan my mental to-do list making it seem a lot less overwhelming. I can easily see what I need to do. I have given myself a schedule that works so I can make sure everything is completed and nothing gets neglected or forgotten.
I have planned my work schedule for the next month and I feel ready to smash it. My head feels a lot clearer and able to take on the jobs at hand. Note to self and others: tomorrow is a new day.
