Why is self- care is so important for authors and creators?
Self- care is as it sounds, taking care of yourself. We are little creative flowers blossoming the brightest colours and without a little care we will slowly wither, our colours will fade out and we will be very very sad little flowers.
I think this goes to say with all people who have hobbies or work in the creative fields our passions tend to follow us... EVERYWHERE!
There is isn’t a day goes by that I’m not thinking about wip or about a new idea, or a book I’m reading or my art that I love. Which of course is a great thing! To find those passions in the first place is such a gift that not everyone finds or explorers.
But everyone in a while I think a break is so important. A break from you wip or writing. To stop it becoming a job, a task, a chore.
If your feeling overwhelmed or stressed, even if your not enjoying writing or drafting at them moment, that is totally OKAY! Take a step back, take a breath. Water the little writing flower and put it in the sun to sit and reenergise!
I always feared treating writing like a job, scared that after a while it would start to feel like one (a boring one) but the beauty of writing is we can take a break whenever. We don’t have to apply for holiday leave we are our own bosses!
Remember how important self-care is. Take care of yourself and your writing will flourish!
QOTD: What do you do to give yourself a break?
AOTD: I love taking baths, with candles and a nice bath bomb is so relaxing! I also love binge watching movies (Harry potter and Twilight I’m talking about you ♀️)

Egos and Personalities are rigid, limited. Presence is like water, it becomes like the situation! Be a Presence.

There’s something about this tweet that makes me want to go harder. It reminds of the time when people kept telling me not to do it. But I did and so should you! God doesn’t make mistakes. If He said write the book, then baby go ahead and do just that!! ✨
