Think about doing your laundry for a second. You dump out all the clothes out of your laundry bin and into the washer, pour some detergent, (or throw a couple of tide pods in there, whatever you prefer) and hit the start button and come back to it when its done. Okay, I know its A LOT more complicated than this, but this is basically my experience with doing the laundry.
Working is like doing laundry, well doing laundry is work, but you know what I mean. Emptying your laundry bin is just like writing a paper, you start to type a bunch of words onto the page, just like you dump the clothes out of the bin.

I drew an extremely detailed picture of my hand. With all the little wrinkles and bends included. Now it wasn’t anything perfect or exceptional, but to me it was. Before that, my best attempt would have resulted in a turkey style hand drawing. I just looked at my work and say “wow…I really did that.”
Using social media to your advantage. I usually check my Instagram a couple times of day, the pictures I see look absolutely perfect and amazing. Until I realize…that if I were to stare at ANY picture long enough, I would see something wrong with it. It’s just a fact, with the couple exceptions, most pictures are not perfect. Thats okay though, because they don’t have to be perfect. I have been posting constantly on my story, and whenever I do somrthing worth posting to my profile, I do. I don’t care if I didn’t find the “perfect” picture because it doesn’t really matter, theres no need to be a
