Yo!!!
It's the weekend. Weekends are supposed to be for rest, unwinding and goofy around right? But damn!! Mine is nothing far from hectic.
This is because I'm rebranding. There's so much work to put in place to get to where I want to be. You know most times I admire some fashion icons and have dreamt of getting to that level. Now I know the work they put to get there, it's truly not easy. So much time, energy, and resources need to be sacrificed to get there.
Recently I started my fashion course and it's been fun and hectic at the same time. Yesterday was the last class for the week and my tutor gave me a lot of assignments to be submitted on Monday.
I am aware that procrastination is no good for the soul because it steals your time and make you unproductive. I decided to do a bit of my assignment today and then complete it by Sunday.
It's a professional introduction to pattern drafting, and advanced method of sewing.sincerely, I must confess.. It's not for the faint hearted. Every measurement must be accuraty placed and double-checked and a lot of details must be paid attention to. It's about brainstorming to get the desired outcome.
Since my head is full, Teni's song popped in You know how some song lives rent free in one's head? Haha this one occupied a mini-flat in my head as that the time of writing this.
I searched for it on Spotify and sang along. Despite trying to keep up with my caeer, there are other things that cannot be compromised. Family, staying fit, eating right, brain dump, mental health and so much.
I really do not want to lose myself while building a brand. Now I understand why people say it's lonely at the top.
It's overwhelming but this song reminded me to put myself first. My peace of mind and happiness should be Non-negotaible.
Right now, I've paused my assignments and I've agreed to see a movie or two tonight before going to bed. Something to ease my mind off the whole stress and rejuvenate.
I started with listening to music but I want to feed my eyes too.. That being said. There's so much I've learnt on the first week of resumption. I surely would be sharing with fellow fashion designers on Monday here on Hive.
I believe that knowledge is power only when it is shared, so I'll try not to hoard valuable tips to help anyone interested grow.
If you're like me feeling overwhelmed, please take some time off to rejuvenate. A little distraction won't hurt. Find something fun to do, or probably have enough rest, so that you don't break down or lose yourself in the process.
You are important as much as your job is important too. People move on easily these days, so staying alive is the best we can do, and prioritizing self-care is one way we show we love and cherish ourselves.
Images used belong to me.
Amie,
