Return to my creative self

After working so hard for the last 6 months, I really thought that I would immediately want to start doing things for myself again. All the ideas I had that I didn't have time to work on for so many months were itching to come to fruition. However, I spent a couple weeks not really knowing what to do first.

There were so many things to do! Not just creatively but for my health as well. My body is seriously out of shape, my sleep schedule is still out of whack, and I needed to check in with my doctor to make sure my labs, meds and supplements were all updated to where they needed to be. First and foremost, I needed to take care of myself. I saw my doctor, I've started cooking healthy meals again, and I've reintroduced yoga and meditation into my daily routine; I've started slow, with a very gentle practice, which is perfect for where my body is currently.

Creatively, I have a backlog of ideas! During those busy months, I never stopped having creative ideas, and whenever I could, I'd write them down or try to get a basic idea laid out on paper so that I wouldn't forget it and could come back to it later. Well, now's the time!

I had a brainstorm session and gathered all of my ideas. It'll be a while before I can get to them all, and I doubt I'll be able to do everything that I wrote down, but it's a great feeling to see all the possibilities mapped out on a large sheet of paper and to know there's always some great idea just waiting to be made!

I'm really excited about my map. There's still a lot of work to be done, a lot of ideas that need more details and research. It's a good start, and I can't wait to see which ideas really take off.

For the first time in a long time, I'm feeling like myself again. I hadn't realized just how detached I'd become until I came back. I'm taking care of myself again, I'm doing creative work, I'm motivated to complete projects, and I'm anticipating a good outcome for all this hard work I'm putting in.

It feels good to be back.
