What I learn't from 100 Days of Doing Daily

During the height of the pandemic I watched a few people complete the doing daily challenge. Inspired by episode 1 of Dana Wilson’s Words that Move Me podcast, I decided after my little Imovie creation that perhaps I should commit to seven days of doing. In attempt to keep my mind busy and get me up in the morning I did just that, I made a commitment, I stuck to my word. I started to create a video daily.

With encouragement, progress, and play seven days became thirty, then fifty. Eventually I’d created 100 videos in 100 days plus some.

What I learnt from this journey.

Deep Breathe!

How to edit and edit fast. Not comparing my ability and ideas with others. Sticking to my word. Making creativity a habit. Trusting my ideas. Acting on my ideas. Starting something. Finishing something. Dancing for camera. Owning my style. Developing my style. What works and doesn’t on Instagram. I learnt not to care about Instagram. Sharing courageously. Breaking down perfection. Accountability. And more…

Featured over 100 videos were sad days. happy days. nothing days. Romance, travel. adventure. I documented the day my mattress grew some legs and my apartment slowly became furnished. I danced in snow, rain, sand, confetti, paper, and yes, if you’ve followed… wine glasses

100 videos brought fresh perspective to my life career and relationships.

I was also introduced to a group of awesome artists who were doing daily at the same time. Together we shared ideas, support and encouragement.

Forever inspired by the doers who are some of the best friends now.
