“What if I don’t feel like it?” My advice for gettin’ your butt in the booth

Voiceover

Are you ready for this? Then grab your cup of joe and let’s go! 

Time for some straight talk. 

Sometimes I get up and I DO NOT want to talk…for ANYONE! 

“Nah, you don’t go through those seasons as a VO. You LOVE your work!”

Well, yes. Yes, I do.

Nevertheless, life reminds me that while I am a creative, and while I absolutely enjoy using my gifts and skillsets in my voiceover work, this VOPreneur has her seasons of difficulties and fatigue.

Perhaps this speaks into self-love (my last blog post), or perhaps I’m just feeling like I don’t want to work.  

So, what in the world do I do when everything in me just wants to shut down my studio and call it a day?

I change my vantage point on the mountain top, that’s what! What in the world am I talking about?! 

Well, have you ever looked up a mountain or steep hill from the bottom? It looks SOOOOOO daunting, doesn’t it? I want to quit before I even start!

In the booth!

All I can think about is how long the journey’s going to be. Am I right?! I’ve told my brain that it’s too difficult; It’s more than I can handle. 

This thought process will tire me out before I’ve even allowed myself to get a foothold on what I’m privileged to do.

This is when I give myself permission to “take 5.” In those 5 minutes of “self-talk”…

  • I remind myself how blessed I am
  • I think about all I’ve accomplished
  • I meditate on the truths of how I’ve grown because I’ve dared to do things while I’m fully afraid…and succeeded.

Once my allotted time is complete, I reposition my vantage point (now I’m on top of the mountain looking down…in my mind), and I step into my booth with a different attitude. One of gratitude, thankfulness and joy. After all, I’m doing what I love! How many people have an opportunity to do that? 

Give yourself permission to have a moment of “stinkin’ thinkin’.” But remember to turn that frown upside down afterwards.
