  • sooooo I'm in a slump. Burnt out, overwhelmed, somewhat lazy, and definitely in a rut. But I've collected some tips and tricks along the way to get through these annual slumps and I thought I would share what I learned with you all in case you ever feel this way. Hope you enjoy:)

    Hi! I’m still in middle school, going on Highschool, and am just starting up my business! I’ve made all the inventory and got permission to sell at craft fairs! I’m hoping to sell my boba earrings in our towns boba shop! Thanks so much for the tips and for sharing your experiences and expertise! ❤❤

    I can relate 100% every winter I feel the need to to hibernate and I get too much in my head. Thank you for talking about this.

      It may help to talk to a medical professional about this. This is called seasonal depression.

    Definitely don't beat yourself up about being self taught. If you have gotten this far without some sort of extra schooling, then it is because you have a passion for it, and that is wonderful! Whatever you are using to teach yourself is working. My sister and her husband built themselves a house. Neither of them had done anything like that before, but they had a passion for their project, and it turned out amazing. And what did they do when they weren't sure how to proceed? They looked it up on TH-cam! Here you can get insight from so many people who know so much. So keep learning in whatever way suits you best!
    As far as the whole slump thing goes, please remember that seasonal affective disorder is just depression that happens in the winter. You may find it helpful to see a medical professional about this. However, your mindset about how to deal with it is so healthy. If you feel you are managing fine, don't worry about it too much. If you do want to do something about it, though, don't wait until winter.
    Sorry this turned into such a long comment! Love your content!

    Strangely though I do not mind candles that have a masculine fresh scent , especially if you are a owner of cats or dogs having a strong scented candle is always a hit even without animals . I love a good candle that can make my home or space smell good 😊

    Loved this 👏 I have a cricut and kind of assumed it would be more expensive to make stickers myself for my product so have been buying them. I need to do my sums to see if I should be making mine. Yours look so good!

    • @monicarazak
      @monicarazak  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like making stickers with my cricut because I tend to change my mind often about styling, fonts, colors etc so it's not worth buying stickers in bulk knowing that I'll get sick of the design lol
