BOOK RELEASE MONTH
November is here, folks! And let me tell you, it's officially CRUNCH TIME!
With the release of my second poetry book, Unraveled, Rewritten & Reborn, and a special creative project right around the corner, my nerves are starting to kick into third gear!
Now, for those who know me, I'm typically someone who needs a little push to step outside my comfort zone. I enjoy my routines, knowing what to expect, and staying within my little bubble. But here's the funny thing about me: as much as I love having a routine, I eventually get bored doing the same old thing.
Make that make sense! LOL!
So, the fact that I decided to not only publish another poetry book but also introduce an entirely different side of my creativity to the world is a HUGE step for me.
And baby, the nerves are NERVING!
You start questioning everything. Will people like it? Will they understand the message I'm trying to convey? Will they appreciate the time, energy, and passion I poured into creating it?
Sometimes those thoughts can become overwhelming, especially when you're putting something personal out there for everyone to experience.
But here's what surprised me the most.
The JOY I experienced while creating it!
What started as a little creative experiment turned into something I genuinely enjoyed putting together. I found myself getting excited about the possibilities, exploring new ideas, and discovering another way to express something I've always been passionate about.
And that got me thinking...
How many things are we missing out on simply because we're afraid to step outside our comfort zones?
Maybe it's trying a new hobby, traveling somewhere unfamiliar, meeting new people, pursuing a dream, or finally doing that one thing you've been talking yourself out of for years.
We get so comfortable with what's familiar that sometimes we don't realize how much joy could be waiting for us on the other side of a little discomfort.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we need to turn our lives upside down or become fearless overnight. Trust me, I'm still working on that part myself!
But what if we challenged ourselves to get a little uncomfortable every now and then?
What if we stopped worrying so much about whether everyone else would approve and focused more on how much happiness the experience could bring us?
Because one thing this journey has taught me is that not everything we create, pursue, or experience has to be validated by somebody else to be meaningful to us.
Of course, I hope everyone enjoys what I've been working on. But regardless of the response, I'm proud that I took a chance on myself and discovered something new along the way.
And who knows? This might just be the beginning of another exciting chapter in my creative journey.
So, as we head into November, I'm challenging you to think about something you've always wanted to try but haven't quite worked up the courage to do.
What's one thing you would do if you allowed yourself to get a little uncomfortable?
Drop your thoughts in the comments. I'd love to hear them!
As for me, I'm stepping outside my comfort zone, nerves and all, with my pen in one hand and a whole new creative experience in the other.
💜 But wait… there's more! 👀
