Eat Blog Talk 550: 5 Steps to Getting Through Turbulent Times (Mindset & Self-Care)
Food blogging is an intense job. This year in particular feels extra turbulent for us food bloggers. On top of Google's HCU, I've taken on some new projects (who remembers that food blogging conference in Denver?) and had to part ways with my VA who's worked for the business for many years. So I'd like to share 5 steps I've been taking to get through this turbulent time.
In this episode, you'll learn about the importance of slowing down and focusing on things you can control when you feel overwhelmed by changes in your space. And remember, self-care and keeping a positive mindset are more important than ever during turbulent times!
Action Plan:
1 - Awareness: Ask yourself, what is the source of turbulence and what is in your control?
2 - Plan: Pull out the top 5-10 things you can do this week to minimize your distress.
3 - Delegate: Assign realistic due dates or people to each point on your list to manage the workload.
4 - Action: Do the things on your list and get accountability from others.
5 - Evaluation: Keep an eye on your list and prioritize self-care - remember even if you regain some control, turbulence can resurface, so it's a continual process.
