Call out on my creative mess, and I'll throw you fried chicken bones ??

I have a habit of leaving my office a mess, and I’d claim that it was part of my creativity.?

I have another weird habit of leaving chaos in the kitchen while cooking.

My boyfriend and I’d argue about the mess, and I’d counter that he was getting in my way of the creative process.?

Habits are interesting.?But what if some habits are bad??

It’s my birthday week, and I am in a reflective mood.?

I celebrated with fried chicken and eating well with my family.

In the last 12 months, I spent most of my energy developing Chubbiverse, a cute NFT brand. While I don’t regret learning new aspects of growing a business. I noticed I’ve neglected my personal growth - I stopped exercising and creating, and in return, I burnt out.?

A habit of self-neglect is not worth keeping. It's how we build resentment. There is one habit I’m proud of, and it's the habit of being proactive.?

If I don't like something about myself, I find new solutions and develop new mental models.

Regarding my creative mess, I connected it back to my laziness to not clean. It ate into my time of creating. I reworked my relationship of mess and became more organised.

Creating also allows me to connect the nodes and share these 'nodes' with y'all. So consider me your node, where new data and information help inform you of what's going on in the future.?

Be a node,?create and distribute your knowledge and experience.

The start of a new habit will be challenging as it's all new habits we need to retrain ourselves.?

It's totes worth the investment. The creation process has many benefits, such as building new startups and growing my audience. In addition, the skillset of creating is a valuable asset. It can help persuade others to rally behind your idea or give you capital.?

Personally, it's an effective tool to internalise a lot of my thinking. I developed new mental models about the world and how Web3 would empower creatives.?

Chubbiverse has the momentum, giving me the space to do other things. Being part of an emerging space of Web3, I see new trends and tactics that can apply to other industries.?

How communities can be part of your viral machine. How NFTs can be a programmable 'gateway' to access communities and benefits.?I can see myself in this space for the next 10 years.?

Whether it be writing or making short, catchy videos. Give yourself permission to self-reflect. Some people prefer meditation. I like creating.?

Rock up for yourself and go on a creative journey.?
