I was feeling very stuck for a while. I kicked rocks & did nothing very productive for about a month other than tying up loose ends on some menial tasks I had decided to undertake. Toward the end of it, I was starting to doubt whether anything that I have wanted to achieve was good idea... but the other day I looked over my goal list for the year and I have accomplished more on it than I have in most previous years in addition to some unanticipated stuff. The realization has sparked some intense desire to end this year out strong.

So, I guess what I'm getting at is:

All that cliché stuff about rest, burnout, selfcare, etc... its pretty accurate. Give yourself a break & give yourself a reminder of what you are capable of. 💜

Also be forgiving of yourself. Wait it out, do something enjoyable and let yourself recover from it. It may feel like you need to rush out of it, but you can't. Give yourself the time you need and accept that its what needs to happen 🙂

🫂 That's pretty much exactly where I was stuck. I was trying to do too much too fast. Life around me was also chaotic... very ill friend, work concerns, etc. I felt awful that I couldn't help, and fix, and learn, and grow, and... just maintain. I needed to slow down, screw around, and just be for a little bit. Taking some time to evaluate my goals & realizing that my efforts had not been wasted was refreshing. It's a little easier to forgive yourself after you step back from the situation for a bit.

It's funny, it's not like I'm green to living but some things require constant or at least repeated practice. 💜
