Two weeks off

Hello, world. I'm happy to be back writing my blogs. If you have never heard of writer's block, I'll explain what it is from my perspective. Writer's block is where I cannot write down my thoughts and feelings due to an unexplained blankness that has behooved my mind. Although I have various materials in my head and on paper, I can't collectively put them together at times. So, when this happens, I allow whatever is happening to happen. If I need a break, I don't force myself to write or think about writing. I rest.

What I've learned about myself is, resting my brain is therapy. Allowing space for resting is an example of self-medication. Besides my writing, I have so much more going on in my everyday life. I think it's essential to take a break even when I don't realize how much of a vacation is needed. I'm not particularly eager to take writing breaks, but I've learned to embrace and respect those shut-off moments when they come.

When I take it easy from writing, I can purposefully re-group to come back stronger than before. I believe maintaining consistency with my writing is essential to keep my readers riding with me, but I also know that mental exhaustion can creep up on you, and I stay conscious of the signs that I feel within. Those signs keep me on my feet for preparation for success. It takes a lot to be me. And everything that I do, I put forth my best effort.

I effectively know how to control my speed so that I don't overwork my brain. I don't stop; I slow down. It's pure human nature to take a step back at times. And I'm fully aware that my go is hard. I will prevail in the midst and the end.

If you are one of my regular followers or even new, I may disappear for a minute from time to time, but I'm still here. I have to take proper care of myself so that I can give my all when I resurface. Love you all, and I give thanks for your ongoing interest in my materials. ASE.
