What to do when you just can't even...

Sometimes life will be amazing.

You'll be signing up new students, birds will be singing, you will feel fantastic, all of your studio families will love you and have no problems, and everything will be right with the world. 

But life doesn't always work that way. 

We find ourselves with plans laid out assuming that we will feel amazing and have the time to get everything done. 

But sometimes you're busy. 

Or just not feeling it. 

Or it seems like the ENTIRE world has conspired against you. 

So, what do you do then? ​

Create a "Bare Minimum" List. 

In the membership group this week, we talked about how our days and moods can be divided up like a stop light. 

Red days are your BARE Minimum days.

Days where you just need to do the 2 or 3 most basic things to keep things running and that's it. 

Yellow days are slightly improved.

Days where you're still not ready to give everything your all, but you can keep marketing and communication with your parents, teachers, and students active. 

You get the idea. 

What's your "Bare Minimum?" 

List those things down, and when that day comes, you can check them off and leave knowing you accomplished what you needed to. 

Anything you accomplish outside of your bare minimum list is bonus. 

Treat it that way and DO NOT beat yourself up for having "red" days. 

You're human. 

You have to take care of yourself if you want to take care of your students, staff, and teachers. 

Give yourself freedom to have "red" days, so you can build up the energy for "green" days.
