I feel this so much right now, Diane. I think it’s a part of the natural process of things. But it does suck to feel the weight of it all. Thanks for doing what you do. Keep up the great work!
I am in the same boat (although my challenges are different to yours). Right now, I should be writing a Substack post but my brain refuses to engage. There is too much going on and it is shutting down (at least, it feels like it!).
It is. And I've decided my health is more important than a strict weekly substack regime. If I was getting tons of subscribers I might feel it was a bit more worth pushing through, but every now and then I just get deflated. I hope you're able to sort/solve your challenges quickly.
My high school literature teacher told me I was spreading myself too thin and not doing justice to any of my projects. If I don't get a handle on it, this issue will follow me throughout my life. Oy, does this conversation haunt me. I wish I'd listened then. I'm trying to listen now. The stress I know shortens our telemeres and our belief that we have all the time in the world to accomplish and feel everything we want in this life. xox
Change hurts. Congratulations on your bravery, even if you feel overwhelmed right now. Remember to breathe and stay hydrated. Life will get manageable.
Good for you. I'm fighting off something and it's part of my drag, but I'm just tired and overwhelmed. Sounds like you had a bad case of covid - so happy that you're on the up. I just have challenges with focus and taking on too many things I'm excited about. A lot is being so new at indie publishing - it's like getting a phd, masters, and b.s. at the same time! thanks! ps - and you made me laugh. i don't get what others see because avatar 1 was excruciatingly painful to get through....

A gentle reminder to look after yourself..

I totally hear you. I get that I'm too hard on myself. Here's to healthy telemeres!
I totally relate to this. Yes: breathe. Let yourself be imperfect. Do the best you can. Let go.
Thanks. Letting go is my life's pursuit. Which I think isn't the point haha....
Yes. Very difficult to do 🤓

haha - I read - "life will get you marmalade" in your comment. I like that. Thanks.
