Hello, October!
Well, SM isn't the only one experiencing glitches lately! :)
As productive as I've been with writing, promotions, newsletters, etc... I think I'm in serious need of a break. A cleanse. A reset.
I've been going non-stop to the point of neglecting my self-care. I mentioned before about taking time for that, but the truth is, there's been very little time for "me" other than a chapter or two here and there for indulgent reads.
Now this isn't a self-pity post where I'm pouting, saying boo hoo, when will I give myself the time I deserve. This is a post to remind not only myself but you too, a bit of "you time" is essential.
You've probably heard, you need to take care of yourself if you're expected to take care of others. It's so true! And don't feel guilty about it either.
Whether it's an hour a day to exercise, meditate, or simple tune out the world around you and get lost in a book... find something that will give you a respite and recharge.
I got out of my routine of morning exercise followed by home chores then down to business with my with author life, and I miss it! My body misses it! So what do I need to do? Get back my discipline and take care of me.
This time of year can be especially challenging due to the holidays, but it's not impossible. Often times team work is a huge help. Find a friend to keep you accountable, whether it's in person or someone who can text/message you to keep at it!
Don't be intimidated - start small and work your way up. And if there's a set-back, remember we're only human and we'll do better next time. But remember to do better next time!
With all that being said, it's time for me to take my own advice and start making adjustments that'll help with my energy and time management.
If you need a boost, let me know and I'll be happy to give it! We can cheer one another on!
We're entering the 4th quarter of the year, so let's make it count!
Be well! xo
