You may have noticed a theme on MJWA these days about taking things easier, learning to relax more, and understanding what it means to be nicer to myself.
I can so relate to all you share here. I was forced into taking a work break due to disability by chronic ill health. I’d worked since I was 11 and never taken any kind of work break. These were big hard, painful lessons for me to learn and there was a lot of grief around losing my job, income and career I slogged my guts out for. I’m 6 years on now and have set myself the almighty goal of having 4 books published by Xmas❤️💚
Hey Amber, thanks for chiming in! I'm glad this resonated with you, and I'm sorry about your chronic ill health but happy to hear about your goals of finishing your books! I'm in awe that you're publishing 4! Amazing...
Thank you. There’s a couple of short stories in there and I’m dropping perfectionism so they’ll be going out as they are - as a celebration of my journey and where I am now. There’s more to follow so I can work on improving them with future publications, these first few are just to get these ones over the line. That’s a big enough deal to begin with.
So true that life is too short and precious to constantly feel pressured to be productive all the time. Take it easy and hope you get well soon. 🙏🙏
Thanks Davey, I appreciate you. :)
