Here’s all I know today. Sometimes, it’s a struggle. Sometimes it’s hard to sit still, other times all you want to do is nothing at all. I’ve had a take a big step back this week and assess my own mental health and what it means to take care of myself when I’m responsible for 2 tiny humans, the podcast and maintaining a healthy relationship with my partner in life. Creative people often experience this urge to do everything and do it now. Another great idea for your project? Start it now. Got a million things to juggle? Bury your head in the sand instead of prioritising. Make lists of lists of lists until you feel so overwhelmed you risk becoming ill. And this doesn’t even consider those who have experienced abuse, trauma and coercion. What about the effects of this on every day life? It’s exhausting. And so, instead of changing my own goal posts, setting impossible tasks for myself and stressing about the deadlines I have created, I’ve taken some time to practice self-care. As well as some time on the Xbox, here are some of the things I have done to manage my low and anxious mood this week. What tips do you have for managing things? Do you recognise when you need to make changes? And how do you promote positive mental health in yourself?
