No Motivation Monday

It’s been awhile

Well hi guys, let’s spare us both a bland as plain toast intro paragraph where I tell you I’ve been busy and make some excuses for why I rarely post. *YAWN* At this point we all know I procrastinate, even more so in the midst of a pandemic while the world is going to hell. SO enough plain toast writing let’s get to the butter and jam content: MY FEELINGS! What the hecking heck is life anymore? I for sure don’t know and recently the creative outlets that have been getting me through the unprecedented times aren’t bringing the joy and purpose they used to. I’ve had absolutely no motivation and I’m not sure how to get it back. Needless to say, a lot of the time that I would normally spend on projects has just spent lying around.

Creative Fatigue

Anyone else? Have you been in this position before? If so, how’d you get out of it? I keep thinking this funk is going to let up and BAM I’ll be back to sewing up a storm. It’s been a couple of weeks now and my sew-jo seems nowhere to be found. Do you know when you are so bored and restless but also too exhausted to do anything? That’s me right now. Is there a point to this post? Unsure, just hoping that writing down what I’m going through will bring clarity to the situation.

you can find me in my blanket fort

This past couple of weeks have been a constant barrage from myself against myself about how not productive I am. Well, this has not helped at all so I’m switching things up. I’m not going to push myself this week, I’m not going to beat myself up this week, I’m not going to be productive this week. This week I am resting and refuelling. I’m reading books and sleeping in. This week I’m not even looking at my sewing pile I’m just letting myself be. Will this help? I truly have absolutely no idea but dang it! it’s worth a try! Don’t expect much from me this week it’s not the vibe. Gearing up to embrace the no motivation with tea and cookies in a blanket fort.
