Unfortunately, it's already pretty obvious. All the signs showed up in front of me yesterday. I’m disappointed but also not surprised. I'm freakin' exhausted, both physically and emotionally, and I've been feeling really agitated already!
It’s during these moments that I realise I need to make a change, to find a new path that brings me a little more fulfilment and joy than I previously thought I would get. As I reflect on my #31DaystoSuckLess journey, I've already come to the realisation that my current blogging routine isn't working for me. I’ve lit my candle on both ends. Again.
I’m giving myself permission.
Being an amateur writer, I understand the importance of continuous learning and growth. So, I embarked on a quest for a better understanding. I explored various blogs to gain insights from fellow writers. To my surprise, many successful bloggers followed a more sustainable approach, posting every 3 to 4 days or even once a week. This got me thinking—maybe my ambition to write daily was overzealous. It's time to give myself permission to change my mind.
I have to get healthier about this.
Because I’d been a bit torturous to myself in the past I knew I had to get healthier. So, I’ll be adjusting my blogging frequency to once every 7 to 10 days, with an occasional update. Anything beyond that will be a delightful bonus for me. It means I feel like it, not that I feel compelled. (No expectation of self, right?) My primary goal of writing stay the same: to share my story and embrace the process. I feel the change will provide me with the necessary space and time to nurture myself, ensuring that I can continue to bring my best to this space.
Resetting my goals.
In the spirit of rejuvenation, my new goals for the #31DaystoSuckLess challenge involve three thing: journaling, intentional exercise, and exploring a creative outlet beyond my current mixed media practice. I yearn for a closer connection with nature and the great outdoors. By stepping away from all of my screens and embracing the beauty of the natural world, I believe I can enhance my mental well-being, find renewed inspiration and also share my story and my progress in time.
Just keep swimming.
In conclusion, I hope this post finds you in good spirits and progressing well on your own #31DaystoSuckLess journey. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and it's through adaptability and self-reflection we will get to where we hope to be. Change isn't a sign of weakness, it's actually proof of our strong will and determination to improve ourselves. So, let's go on this adventure as a team, cheering each other on, and chasing after lives that are meaningful, joyful, and focused on taking care of ourselves.
Love,
