The Juggle Struggle

Hello and a warm welcome back to my blog. It has been some time since I have written a blog post and the reason why relates to the title of this post.

“The juggle struggle”… as much as I hate to admit it, I fell into the trap of thinking I was superwoman and I could write blog posts every week, as well as work, run my own therapy practice and everything in between.

I do believe that as humans, we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to show the world that we can do everything at once. But sometimes, you need to take a step back and re-evaluate just how much we can actually do.

So this is what I have done the past couple of weeks, I recently had a week away from social media and really thought about where I see myself going, writing-wise especially.

The time away from social media was very refreshing, so much so I have started planning next years social media content. I love interacting with you all across Facebook, Twitter & Instagram and I knew that in 2019, this is something I really want to maintain, so watch out for something interesting coming your way every week next year.

I also have missed writing so much, after publishing my 3rd book in June this year, I have hardly written anything, book wise or blog post wise. But starting a new job plus running my own practice has left me with very little time and I want to write with enjoyment and for it not to become a monotonous hobby.

I have thought about what writing means to me, for me, it is undoubtedly a form of self-care, enjoyment & fulfilment, at times it has also provided me with healing and closure and best of all, I am able to connect with you, my readers.

I love nothing more then when a reader tells me what I have written resonates with them, so I really would like writing to stay a huge part of my life. Having said this, I have decided not to put pressure on myself to deliver a blog post weekly because I want to deliver content that is authentic, enjoyable and pure and not something that has been rushed or has been written half-heartedly.

I would also love to know if there is anything, in particular, you would like me to blog about. Would you like more posts about mental health, self-care, how writing and creativity can be beneficial to our mental health and wellbeing or perhaps you’d like to know how to get started as a writer?

My social media channels are above, so please feel free to drop me a tweet or message.

Thank you for reading.

Until next time,
