Creating something new every day can be taxing.
Coming up with different ideas. Experimenting with various styles and formats. Trying your best not to be repetitive and at the same time stay relevant and exciting for the people who read your work.
There eventually comes a point where your mind needs a rest and that's O.k.
But with that much-needed break comes a weird feeling of guilt. A feeling that you’re somehow being lazy. That you should be working, instead of kicking back relaxing, enjoying other aspects of life.
Where did these feelings come from and how are they justified?
I have recently taken a few days off from writing and of course, these feelings were a constant in the back of my mind.
“You should be writing at least something but instead here you are with your feet up playing computer games. How are you ever going to reach your goals?”
Having such internal conversations on a regular basis over the past few days got me thinking; Where in the heck did these feelings stem from?
