I had all these great plans for starting the year off right . . . . . putting all my energy into my shop, my artwork, coming up with new goals and plans, figuring out how I can learn, grow and improve on what I've done before.
Thing is the year hasn't quite taken off the way I'd envsioned. I've been stressed and unwell and left feeling as though I'm trying to accelerate while stuck in neutral. I just need to catch a bit of downhill gradient to get the momentum and speed up and then I think I'll be on my way but until then I feel as though I'm sat idling.
Maybe it's just life's way of telling me I need to ease up for a little while, to take my time, not to rush things . . . . but I'm not a patient person.
I hear you, Kathryn. But my being stuck has to do with fear. Don't know if you've read The War of Art, but Resistance is kicking my butt! lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope you health gets back on track! Everything might feel different when you're well...
Peace
Thanks Erin - I haven't read that book but it sounds like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI've had non-stop migraines for over a week now which has literally been doing my head in. I'm hoping that when they ease off I'll be able to think straight and get back on track.
One of my favorite quotes is 'feel the fear and do it anyway' although I'm not always good at it. Giving resistance a big kick in the butt back for you.
PS. I also wanted to say thanks for the wonderful xmas gifts, they were so thoughtful. I hope to have my next letter off to you some time towards the end of the month. x
I'm so sorry you've been having migraines. They totally stink.
ReplyDeleteStrangely, everyone I know has felt the same way as you, including me. I hope this weekend to get myself 'in gear' and get something, anything, accomplished!
Feel better so you can enjoy your weekend!
Yes, same here. I think it's all this snow. Sometimes we do need to slow down a little, to recharge before we get into gear again.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a patient person either and finding myself in much the same situation.
ReplyDeleteI do think it has a lot to do with 'life after the Holidays'...probably a bit like 'jet-lag'.
