Sometimes the blahs can feel as thick as a forest.
This is my first post in January. Woah! I’ve been feeling kind of blah for a while (read months here). Not sick, just unfocused, and out of energy. I wish I had some miracle just-do-this cure to write about. No such luck.
I know part of that is stress. While my mother did recover some from her stroke, she’s not ever going to be the same. And the stress of adjusting to this and caring for her is still ongoing, but it is getting better.
Like vines the blahs can twist into every crevice.
Writing wise, I’ve had a bit of a slump. But over the last week or so, I think that I’ve begun to push out of it. Right now, I am merely focusing on one project out of the one’s I’d been working on. Going back and forth only made it harder. I’ve made a few other changes in my routine. Overall, that helped some, but didn’t help with blah.
There are two things I can credit with the change. Self-care and laughter. This pic below is one of the reasons for the laughter.
This is my sisters dog, puppy really, even though she’s an older puppy. She might be a mess-bomb on four legs, but she’s also silly and sweet. Shh, don’t tell her though.
As for self-care, it wasn’t until watching a video recently that I realized I hadn’t given myself time. I hadn’t taken a day just for me. So it’s something I’m setting reminders for. I need to give myself days to relax and do nothing or do something fun.
Hopefully, soon, I’ll have a cover reveal for you and can set a date for my next release.
Be kind to yourself and remember self-care is so important.
Have a great day!
