I have so many things I could be doing creatively right now. I’m beyond behind in my Beyond Layers class. I could try to do something with this Week’s Photo Challenge (is it still Solitary?)… I really should be studying, but I don’t feel like doing that either. I’m totally uninspired right now. So, instead I’m cleaning. I know this is primarily a photography blog, but once in a while its other pieces of me.
My mom once told me when I was overwhelmed with all the cleaning that needed to be done, to get my machines doing the work. So, this morning I got the washer & dryer going, the dishwasher running, and the vacuum cleaner moving… and of course me doing a lot of the rest in between.
Maybe once I get things cleaned up, I’ll be in the mood to create. Or study. Or take a shower. Or maybe I’ll just sit on the couch & watch The Vampire Diaries instead, and leave creativity for tomorrow.
We all need a day off once in a while, even from enjoyable things. Relax, take it easy, and instead of feeling guilty approach your to-do list with a fresh perspective tomorrow. <3
I keep saying that I “fell off the wagon” in Beyond Layers weeks ago! I can’t decide if I should try to catch up by starting where I stopped or if I should start now and then try to do two in a week!
Yeah, I try to get productive when I can’t create. When I have writers block or something equally awful, I go to yoga, I get homework (somewhat) done and I study. I listen to podcasts, respond to e-mails I’ve left waiting and do all sorts of other things. ^_^
Rest when you must… we all need it.
