When You Feel Like Quitting

In episode 38, I discuss that moment when you’re so overwhelmed that you feel like quitting on all your smutlancing goals. It happened to me quite recently, and I think I figured out a good process to use to deal with it. If you’ve felt that way, you’re not alone, and I don’t think we have to be stuck in that feeling either. In this episode: * This week’s episode is brought to you by QuickBooks Self Employed We’ve talked about quitting in the past and sometimes quitting is a really good option. Not all feelings of wanting to quit are the same. Imposter syndrome  Like you’re not getting to your goal fast enough — hint: it’s a slow process You don’t enjoy it anymore. My reason for feeling like quitting: feeling overwhelmed — like you can’t keep up, like you’ll never get to the place you’re trying to go. What to do: Get out of your head. Talk to a friend, write in a journal, blog about it — but the longer you stay in your head, the worse it can get. Think about what you really want — and not so much about what you’re afraid of. Consider what you’re willing to do — and what you need to do that you might not WANT to do. Links from the show: What is Imposter Syndrome?
