Hello chic friends!
I haven't had a lot of mental bandwidth for much lately. It's just how I get at times and I try not to feel bad about it.
I think by now I've gotten to know myself, and it's not that there is anything wrong, I just feel like pulling back. It's like this internal handbrake being on and everything takes 100x times more effort to do.
At times like this I want to read books, be at home, write a little, and be offline. I know I'm so lucky to be able to do so. When I worked full-time in an office I’d just keep life really simple too.
If you can relate, please say. I admire people who are 'linear' and can just do whatever they need to get done. I think it might be part of the creative mind that works differently for those of us who aren't like that.
I've seen a funny picture and it shows A to B and a straight line from... A to B. That is one type of person. And then there is A to B with a giant squiggly unravelly ball of wool leading from A to B. That is so me sometimes!
When I get to be the straight-line A to B person everything is sooooo easy. That’s when I write book after book and post regularly on social media. But at the moment I'm the squiggly ball of wool and have a dozen books started that I’m keen on none of 🤣
Amazingly enough my work looks way better to me when I’m in a more helpful state of mind. When I’m the unravelly ball of wool all my writing looks terrible 🤣
But I am writing each day and working on a book that feels good, so hooray for that.
And I’m up to recording my 21st audiobook, almost there! I think there are about 25 or 26 in total. At least those I can narrate without overthinking things. I just turn up and do some recording. (Find them at my Linktree)
I hope you’re doing good, and if you’re not, I’m right there with you 😊 Let’s all be kind to our squiggly balls of wool that we call our heads, if we’re not feeling it right now.

| 🍂🍂🍂 Autumn colours and bright blue skies |
This has to be my favourite season and I'm really enjoying my outdoor walks each morning before breakfast. I know there are many other fans of autumn too.
For us in the southern hemisphere, it's perfectly normal to have March/April be the start of autumn.
It's completely foreign for us to have it be the start of the festive Christmas season!
Although I actually do enjoy getting into 'fall vibes' later in the year too, joining in on all the northern hemisphere fun 😊
Whether you are in spring or autumn, I hope it's treating you well 🧡💛

I bought these cute popcorn cups from the dollar store for a movie afternoon with friends at home. How cute are they? Afterwards I handwash them and put them away until next time 😊
I love little details like this that make life fun!
Wishing you a fab week :)
Love Fiona
Fiona, I completely understand and can relate! I go through cycles where I post a lot and then cycles where I delete the apps off my phone and hide out for a while. Some days I have so much to say and share and then other days when I keep my words very close to my heart. I do feel like it's the creative nature in us, as well as the introvert.
ReplyDeleteI hope your down time is filled with lots of rest and things that fill you up :)
We re humans and sometimes the lìonlything our body and brain ask is RELAX. Usually I work full time from monday till friday and during weekendafter errand I need to spend time alone walking in the wood near home, reading my books and be off line, this helps me to recharge battery!!!
