Starred this Week

23 May

I’ve been feeling a little blah this week, friends. Mostly in regards to this online space. I truly miss the creative outlet aspect of blogging. And lately I’ve been feeling like I know too much. I know that I should be blogging every day, tweeting 5 times a day, putting my posts and then some on Facebook, and Instgramming perfect little snippets of my behind-the-scenes life.

But when I tell myself all those things that I should be doing, there’s a little voice in my head that’s all “What does it all mean, Basil?” I mean, those shoulds are all so that I can grow my business and take over the world, right? But what if I’m totally overwhelmed with everything I have to do right now, not only in regards to work, and when I think about those things, the real world out my window feels all too tempting?

I hope it doesn’t feel like I’m dumping all my feels on you today, I’m mostly just sharing in case any of you out there are feeling the same way. We’re all doing our best, right? My dad brought that up the other day, in a totally unrelated conversation, but I think it pretty much applies to every aspect of life.

So this weekend. It’s supposed to be long, yes? I’ve got a few things on the calendar, but I’m mostly hoping to step back and recharge for next week and the next season. Spring was so short, and suddenly Memorial Day is upon us. Don’t get me wrong- I couldn’t be more thrilled. The older I get, the more I feel like I only have eyes for summer. Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

In light of all that, I thought this article about feminism was interesting.

And holy moly, this is just what I needed.

Found this interesting as I struggle with making decisions myself.

Lots of good tips on prioritizing, felt inspired after reading this!

in case you missed it

    I went through a real struggle with blogging and the “shoulds.” Truthfully, shoulds steal the joy out of blogging and take up a lot of mental space that could be used to come up with post ideas. When I changed by blog goal to two posts a week, my whole energy around blogging shifted and I’m actually much more engaged in it now. While I’ve mostly been posting once a week, it’s more than when I felt pressured, shut down, and as a result wouldn’t post at all.

    I have been feeling the same way! I’ve had to take a break from social media lately to kind of get my head back in the game. Too many other things going on in life to make that a priority.
