Defeating the Consumer Mindset

How to go from being a consumer to a creator. It's hard to make the switch. We are taught from a very young age to consume.

We watch tv, read the news, go to school, and above all else consume consume consume. What if you decide to be the creator instead. What if you made the media that everyone is obsessed with. What if you actually take the initiative to create something and see what happens.

I took that initiative this year. I started making vlogs, youtube videos, and TikTok to help break out of my shell. I loved the way TikTok gave me an outlet to express myself. I became addicted!! It truly is addicting creating something from nothing and see what happens with it. I am learning to let go of all stress and anxiety to just go after what I want.

I also suggest that if you are trying to get rid of the consumer mindset. STOP WATCHING TV. I gave up TV for a year and loved going without it. It gave me time to focus on my goals, my future, my ambitions, my health, my body, and overall my dreams.

Another reason to defeat the consumer mindset is that the creator mindset allows you the opportunity to generate new revenue streams. It will help you to have a side hustle for extra things. Tiktok youtube, blogging, and podcasting all have ways to generate revenue once you develop a bit of an audience.

If you are tired of constantly consuming, I strongly suggest you break the addiction by creating. I will never regret making the switch to a creator. <3
