3 Life Lessons Learned from Crafting

Crafting Starbucks cups, like the one pictured, is tons of fun!!

Hey lovely people!

I spent the month of October away from my blog for a bit. Unfortunately I was dealing with some major anxiety attacks and while I found time to craft, I struggled to find words.

In today’s post, I’m sharing 3 life lessons I learned from my crafting adventures in efforts to inspire us all. Surprisingly, these words helped me come out of my slump so I hope you find them inspirational as well.

  1. Try new things! If you have something in mind that you want to try, just do it. Whether it is a craft project, starting your own blog, or taking an online course, adopt Nike’s motto.
  2. Failure is overrated! I am a bit of a perfectionist so I have to remind myself of this one quite often but my craft projects have taught me that it’s okay to mess us. I have learned so much from messing up. I am convinced I have learned more because I have tried more. I mess up, I learn, I move on.
  3. Inspiration is nice, but you still have to do the work! As a crafter, I spend a ton of time on Pinterest, Instagram, and Etsy looking for inspiration. That inspiration does me no good just sitting in the back of my mind. Things aren’t going to happen by osmosis. So, just like crafting, you can be inspired by other influencers, mentors, and future goals but you have to get busy eventually and put in the work to get what you want.

Bonus: beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. If you like it, I love it! Forget what other people think about your ideas, dreams, and desires. Do you boo!

Until next time,

Tempestt

Quick Tuesday reminder: your feelings are valid. Quick Tuesday reminder: your feelings are valid. 

Last week was rough for me. Y’all... the mixture of my compounded grief, needing to prep for a new semester, and my anxiety had me feeling like I had been hit by a train. Instead of feeling guilty about being sad, not being able to do my best work, and wanting to stay in bed, I just sat with it. 

My feelings are valid. 

Accept your bad days with your good. Don’t brush off the need to cry, scream, curse, or whatever it is you need to do, when you need to do it. 

Be encouraged.

Saying farewell is never easy but I found some joy Saying farewell is never easy but I found some joy making this for my mom. 

When I’m sad, I craft.
When I’m angry, I craft. 
When I’m happy, I craft. 
It’s my self-care.

Do your dreams scare you?

I’m getting ready to do my goal planning session for 2021 and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified. From the lies my anxiety tells me to my own negative self-talk, chasing my dreams is scary af.

Regardless, my 2021 prayer will be that OUR dreams come true.
