Today I was all set to film my Youtube video. I had my entire day planned out accordingly so I can take advantage of this lovely sun we're having here in NY (don't be fooled, it's still around 30 degrees outside). Then I woke up late. My phone didn't charge at all and went completely dead over night. By 12 PM I had just eaten breakfast and I saw my plans slipping away from me and that makes me very nervous. When I have a plan, I make sure I stick to it, no matter how long it takes me.
I came to terms with my off day and decided to work out. I did some cardio to get my day started and hopefully it would help me figure out what to do. I ended up showering, doing my hair and makeup to the nines and realizing that in about 2 hours I would have to leave to go meet my boyfriend and a few of his friends for dinner. That meant my video was a no go.
I'm now left here blogging and reflecting realizing that no, I did not produce any work for my channel at all this week. Yet for some reason, I'm okay with that. Sometimes things don't go as planned and that is perfectly alright. I'm not glued to any one structure, no one is. I found a different way to go about my day and it was still pretty fulfilling. I feel so long as I've done something to make me feel good (in this case workout and do my makeup), then I've already done something with my day. Now it's just figuring out what to do with the rest of my 5 hours after dinner.
Tomorrow you can expect a new video up by me and if all goes well with the next couple days, a second one will be up towards the end of the week to make up for lost time. Everyday has a new meaning and lesson to learn. To not sound like a hippie, basically I learned today that I don't have to stick to a structured plan regardless if it means I don't get one of my projects done. As long as I did the important things. Not saying my YouTube isn't important but, my health means more to me and without health, I couldn't make my videos. I made sure that I at least blogged today so I wouldn't fail myself as a content creator. So yes, even though I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, I still made sure I did something with my day, and it didn't give me an anxiety attack.
