Recently I’ve been feeling a little uninspired. Don’t get me wrong, I still try my best to be creative. It’s my job to create, actually, but I’ve just been in this weird season that has knocked me off balance.
So I sat down and made a list of my weekly activities – everything I had to do in a week. It was surprising, because few of the things I had to do in a week actually involved things I was passionate about.
If you have been following my blogs, you’d know that I like to share stories out of my daily life – and it’s crazy how how seasons change. One minute you’re on top of your game – the next minute you’re fighting to stay afloat.
With this in mind, I embarked on a journey of trying to figure out how I can enjoy life without losing inspiration or spending my time wondering whatever happened to the “good old days”. And one of the key things I’ve realised is that I need to spend a little more time with myself, doing the things I love.
Trying to balance your personal, social, and work life is not the easiest, and sometimes I’ve had to lay everything I enjoy aside for a season so I can make time for what needs to get done.
However, recently I’ve started to be intentional about making time for myself and the things that keep me inspired – whether it be a coffee with a homeboy or a night out with some friends.
Taking time out for yourself, and doing what you enjoy, is one of the greatest ways to feel inspired again. It’s no secret that doing what you love leaves you feeling fulfilled and happy – but sometimes we forget we need to carve out time to pursue these things.
Too many people worry about what needs to get done and forget about their own needs in the process. It’s time to get intentional about doing the things you love again!
