It’s been a while since I wrote an entry for my blog. I was off to a flying start in January with the things I like doing. Studying/getting fit & healthy/reading/positive attitude/writing (blog post)/bullet journaling.
And then: not so much anymore. I struggle to exercise enough. I didn’t write. Some days I drink plenty of water, other days I barely manage to drink one tiny bottle. Why is it so hard to do more of what makes you happy?
Maybe it’s too much. Maybe I ask too much of myself. Maybe we all do.
I like my house to be clean and tidy. I like my kids to be happy and learn them how to deal with life. I want a healthy relationship with my partner. Spend time with family and friends. I have to work 4 days, and want to like what I do.. I want to feel comfortable in a bikini and feel fit and healthy. I want to be a writer. I want to travel. I want to learn Russian.
So here’s a little note to myself and all others who struggle with the same things.
IT IS OKAY.
if you eat a Snickers because you had a crappy day
IT IS OKAY
if you don’t vacuum your living room every single day
IT IS OKAY
To feel overwhelmed with all the things you want/have to do.
IT IS OKAY
If your kids walk in pyjamas on Saturday. They don’t care, so shouldn’t you.
IT IS OKAY
That you didn’t write a story. You’ll always come back to writing, or it to you.
IT IS OKAY
(…)
It really is. Just breathe and keep on keeping on.
