Social media can feel really loud this time of year. I have found myself needing more time away from social media, just because this noise can at times really drain me. 

So what do we do when it's our busy season and we feel like we “have” to show up, but just don't have the capacity?

When building your business it's important to check in with yourself and take breaks, even as a social media manager, from the loudness of the online space. If we don’t work on who we are, how will we be able to impact our clients in a beneficial way? 

Some people combat this by wanting to create products vs having a service based business. But truthfully even as a product business owner your energy directly impacts your success. And I have found that if I am not listening to what my body needs, my business will also have a step back because maybe I push too hard and then I get sick. 

Think about it like this -  if you are not able to take a break now, when would you be able to? If you have told yourself that hustling to the top is the only way to make it, when does the hustle end? And if it does end, what will you do with your time after? 

Many people don’t realize that success is not linear, and if we don't find security in trusting ourselves now as business owners, we will have a very difficult time building something sustainable.
