Lau AlexandraDo you find yourself reflecting on the positive at the end of the day? Or do you instead dwell on the struggles and stresses?
I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and unsettled for some time now. It’s a combination of factors, but more often than not it leads to me getting into bed focusing on the troubles over the triumphs. When I try to think of a plan to make things better, I end up overwhelming myself more and just feeling…stuck.
Anyone else relate?
Today, I’m trying to change that narrative. I got home earlier than usual from work, and used that time to be productive instead of doing my usual zone-out-and-dwell-on-my-exhaustion. I created a Link Tree and made an Amazon Storefront as part of my plan to create a more streamlined and organized teach.explore.repeat brand.
But one thing I realized when I created the Link Tree…if I was going to put this site up on it, I’d better get an updated post on here! Before today, the last post that I had was in November, as part of a failed attempt to write every day during the annual Gratitude Challenge that I participate in. When that didn’t work out, I got frustrated and turned away from the blog, using the excuse that I wouldn’t have the time to write in it daily. As more time passed, thoughts of it lingered in the back of my mind, but I just didn’t know how to begin again.
Today, I’m glad I finally showed back up. This website was the first thing that I set up after creating @teach.explore.repeat, but I have not been a faithful writer. That needs to change. While I think setting the goal of writing daily is unrealistic at the moment, there’s no reason why I can’t write at least weekly, if not bi-weekly.
So, in short, this entry was the best thing to happen to me today! Here’s hoping it kick-starts some writing consistency. Drop a comment below or DM me on Instagram to let me know what you want me to write about in the future!
’til next time,
Lau
