When Writing Slows Down

I have to be honest with you.

I haven’t quite felt the writing bug bite me as much recently. When I started this blog, I felt a plethora of ideas hitting me all at once. I had to rush to type them all up before I lost the precise magical words in my head.

Now, I don’t know what’s going on. I would tell you it’s writer's block, but I’m not sure. These days I don’t want to sit down and write because I don’t feel like it. We’ll see what happens. I won’t force it. After all, this is a hobby of mine, and I don’t want to treat it like work. The ideas and words will come to me when they do. I’ll be patient and gentle with myself.

Meanwhile, I guess I’ll try other activities that make me feel good. I’ll list them below and you can feel free to give them a try!

Activities to try when not writing:

  1. Stretching
  2. Floor workouts (weights, resistance bands)
  3. Reading a book of your choosing (mine is currently astrology related)
  4. Making yourself a cup of tea
  5. Journaling
  6. Meditating
  7. Watching an interesting YouTube video
  8. Organizing your space
  9. Updating your to-do list
  10. Taking a nap (if you feel like it)
  11. Calling or texting a friend or relative and catching up
  12. Cooking a fun new recipe

That’s what I’ve got for now, if you’re feeling down, some good old sunlight also does wonders!! And if it’s wintertime where you’re at like it is for me, vitamin D supplements are also helpful!

Well, friends, I won’t give up, but there is a lot going on in my life that has slowed down my enthusiasm. I’ll be okay, I just have to take it one day at a time. Thank you for sticking around and following me if you do. I appreciate it more than you know. I never believed in myself enough to think I could gain a following by writing. I thought I had to major in it to be good enough, but that is not the case! So thank you for supporting me and believing in me. :)

With gratitude,
