David inside of you | Day in the life RCD
"If God puts a Goliath in front of you He knows there's a David inside of you".
Hello RCD readers,
Yesterday was a bust. Me getting back to work mode is harder than I thought. Yes I have done some work. Administration, Content, Blogging (finally), Finances, Follow up with clients, Payments for this month, Daily personal responsibilities etc. But still feel like I'm stagnant. I'm in that phase where I'm urging for that sweet balance I've created of taking care of myself and my family with normal work responsibilities. And this feels like an impossible task.
So I'm waking up pretty early today like I always do. I'm trying to get back into my groove by giving myself a little bit of a break. I'm not breaking my head if I meet my own deadlines but in fact I'm just taking it one step at and seeing how far that takes me.
Blogging again instead of YouTube Clips
RCD started as blogging with notes from Facebook page. Not long after that an old school friend told me to try YouTube. Somebody that was actually reading my content from the beginning. So the year after that I started with RCD articles on YouTube. I always thought making YouTube clips would also grow and it would go smoother. But it hasn't.. That takes so much time from my actual life and work itself. Which the good old blogging never did. Blogging is personal and more authentic than when I made YouTube clips. I write from the heart with no filter. The reach has grown so much in which I'm still trying to figure how that happened. Because I haven't found a perfect place to share new blog links yet that can reach more people. But still I have the strangest new blog readers without sharing my older blog post links. Today I checked again and most views come from Singapore. 2nd place of course Suriname and last Mexico. No idea how. But welcome to page don't forget to share if you like the content. If I check for the month the highest is United States. For a whole year highest would be Hong Kong. Still no clue how that happened.
I actually really want to know. If you stumbled on my page. Please comment.
1) where you from
2) how you found my page
3) which blog post made you stay
Finances
The last week of 2024 and first week of 2025 I actually started working again. Sorry.. I know not a real break. But it had to be done. I started with two important things.
1) profit and loss for 2024
2) content calendar for 2025 with content scheduling for 2025
Last year I was so proud of myself when I did my taxes on time. So I wanted to make sure I did everything on time before the new year began. This was such a headache. Figuring out your expenses. The annoyance of knowing what the dollar rate was from each month. It took more than a week. But thank God I finally began the week with that part finished. I have to point out I "try" to keep monthly administration of my finances. Mostly because it's important to have something to double check with.
Content Calendar
So I'm not giving everything away but this month I'm taking it a little bit slower and focusing on introducing myself again. Hopefully New viewers and followers get to know me better and what I stand for. And my OG's please don't forget to like, share and comment. This makes the algorithm catch on and show my content to people who might need my services or like RCD themselves.
Pick social media preference
I do have a special surprise for this month. So stay tuned on my Facebook and Instagram page. I'll also post it on my WhatsApp Channel.
Starting back from the bottom
Yesterday I discussed something important. As most know I also teach ballet class. And there is a dance school to think about. How to rebuilt the school again and what to do for time being. What I've learned is that when you get a hit to the bottom.. You can complain. You can victimize yourself. You can ask for pity. Or you can get up and keep moving. So that's what my boss is doing. Searching new places. Making sure the right processes are done with also taking care of her day by day responsibilities. And most important figuring out what the damn plan is going to be. Now my numbed ass is good in stressful situations. Learned from my siblings and my parents. Suck it up and keep it moving.
"Sweet ass candy but cold as ice when is needed".
So the plan is still in motion but it's getting a form and that's the most important.
I'm good at being realistic. Not sugar coating when it comes to what needs to done or said. And make sure to leave my fear or insecurities out the window when a friend needs you to be clear minded in difficult situations. Not an emotional case. Somebody asked me last week why I'm at peace and not crying. And all I can say "I trust in God. I'm not perfect. I do get weak, scared, anxious... I lay everything on his feet. Not knowing what will happen. But getting the peace I need. Real grace and joy I need to keep it moving forward." So what you see is not me being strong but God carrying me and giving me grace which for most looks like really strong. Nope it's all Him calming me down.
Finding my own strength to get work done
I have a couple of workdays for this week to go. One project to finish the preliminary drawings plus another new project to start on which I will be sharing after the site visit this week.
But for tonight I will be changing scenery with somebody that calms me down. So that we both can get back into our grooves. And let's hope it helps. I have a lot to do. And the busyness is starting. So I need my A-game back in full forces.
