More positive feedback in that one paper
than I had received in two years.
And one line I’ll never forget —
He had been waiting for that level of work from me.
For two years.
That moment …
actually made me feel good about myself.

I have always found that writing out my thoughts can be very calming. Once it is on paper, it is no longer replaying in my brain. I am free to think other thoughts, even ones of my own choosing. When you are a parent, everyone tells you how important self-care is and they tell you to find whatever makes you feel better – that you need time to recharge. Sleep, eating, reading, pampering, you name it, I have tried it.

You need to know yourself in order to love yourself. I don’t need people to understand me and tell me who I am because I know who I am. I wouldn’t bother trying to understand me, things would just get complicated.

I understand peace comes from within (I could be wrong) and getting the peace I desire is going to take a lot of work. Being more mindful and intentional with my words and actions, forgiving myself for past decisions I’ve made, allowing myself grace, and allowing myself time to heal. Creating a safe place for myself to grow and evolve as a person. It’s not going to happen overnight however going back to things I enjoy, creating new habits as simple as they are, have brought a level of peace and calm to my life I think I was searching for. Life is already hard as it is but finding the little things that make us happy or what we enjoy makes it better. This is a lesson I am learning, not being afraid to do what I want to do and not being afraid of trying. Just do, just doing whatever I want with no fear and regrets. I wrote this post because I’ve been grappling with different aspects of my life lately, and this was an area that took a hit the most. I wanted to share with you some of the little things (I may have mentioned in the past) I have been doing to create a more peaceful environment for myself. If you have made it to the end of the post, thank you, thank you for allowing me to share a bit of myself, and thank you for the support.

It can help you with your immune system, time to recover, energy levels and more. It’s worth the investment in yourself to be very mindful of your inner self-talk.

So for now I’ll say I need to cut back on the blog tours big time. I know I’m doing it to myself by taking them all on, but it just is too much now I’m having to take out more time for myself, in order to rest and recover from recurring bouts of illness, and to do other things offline. I also want to spend more time on doing more different things on my blog, and to really enjoy/love blogging rather than finding it a bit of a stressful thing which lately it has been. I’ve never really found blogging to be too stressful (well I did on old blogs but not on this one), but fulfilling specific blog tour dates has taken it’s toll recently

And please, when I decided to come back again and show myself to the crowd, don’t take my time off against me. I only want what’s best for me that time — and that was to be away from everyone else.

I miss writing on my blog everyday. I appreciate my longest writing streak was about 12 days in February and that was after a break of about a year so I am not exactly the most consistent blogger you may follow *understatement* but I really enjoyed the sense of achievement that came with hitting publish everyday for nearly two weeks. I always intend to write but honestly i’ve not been feeling like it. I follow tons of blogs which actually do give me inspiration to write but when I get the chance to sit down and type my mind goes blank and I just think to myself who cares anyway? And that my dearest reader is the problem. Without noticing I fell into that sad trap of caring about likes and follows. I stopped writing about what interests me just for the enjoyment of writing. So I am going to try and do better.

I’m newly committed to self-replenishment, and the buzzword self care that needs re-framing in many ways. In this case, self-care is the appropriate term, and in the past, the responsibility of care has included medical appointments for those under my charge. I have for years been avoiding my own preventative medical care, for various reasons, poor boundary setting on time management, a general attitude of unworthiness or feeling it was unnecessary, and underlying it all, avoiding PTSD triggers, although not entirely consciously.

These stories we tell can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. In Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion, Koshin Paley Ellison talks about the dangerous power behind these proclamations we make about who we are
