Morning Reflection

Good morning!

I've been trying to figure out why I've been so unmotivated and tired lately, but as I am looking out the window this morning at the snow and ice, I'm reminded that it's January. I'm not a fan of January (or February tbh) but I'm doing what I can. Despite the pressure I feel to focus on my goals and make new ones and stay on top of everything that I'm already doing (which is exhausting and probably too much if I'm being honest with myself), I'm instead going to embrace "bear mode." That is- I'm going to try and extract myself from productivity culture's death-grip, and instead hibernate.

Have I ever had success with doing this before? No.
Am I still going to try this year? Yes. 

My hope is that by allowing and encouraging myself to rest, I will reignite the creative spark and drive that seems to have been extinguished during burnout. Who knows? Maybe dying my hair will add some much-needed zest back into my life...

Here's to not pressuring ourselves this year, and living a more seasonal lifestyle (or whatever kind of lifestyle allows you to thrive). 

Until next time,
