I Dropped The Ball

But I'm learning to be kind to myself

I ought to have a new article for you this week but my fatigue has reared up over the last few days and I am behind on my writing.

My options are:

  1. Push through the exhaustion and cobble something together, no matter what, to maintain my publishing schedule.

  2. Be kind to myself, let it go and give myself the time and space to regroup.

Which of those is the best option?

Of course, as the Gentle Creative I am choosing the second one. I am giving myself the permission to not add to my stress and exhaustion. I hope that in doing this, I am also giving you the same permission when you need it.

But I don’t like leaving you without your weekly inspiration so here is a link to one of the first blogs I wrote as Gentle Creative.

Why you should aim to make lots of crap art

Let’s keep plodding gently together

Lots of love

I don't have any physical issues but even I have been sleeping 12hrs+ these days. It's in the air. We are all recalibrating so we can build a better world. That takes enormous energy.The overwhelming advice I'm getting these days is to put down the productivity ideas. We accomplish a lot by giving ourselves what need.
