It wasn’t my intention, but over the last few weeks I’ve disappeared from this corner of the internet.
In fact, I haven’t posted here since August, which is the longest break I’ve taken since starting this blog.
Lately, I’ve been struggling with burn out. My day job has been busy and mentally draining, and it’s a long time since I just stopped. On top of that I’ve been trying to reach my crowdfunding target and we’ve been doing a lot of work on our house, so things are a bit chaotic at home.
I’ve been feeling exhausted, a bit pissed off and generally emotional, as I haven’t had the energy to keep my mental walls high.
I just need to rest.
But things aren’t bad, they’re just busy. It’s time to get off that hamster wheel. I have a holiday coming up in a few weeks and I plan to spend the time doing…nothing. Sitting in the sunshine, by a pool, with a book in my hand and headphones in. There won’t be any blogging, or crowdfunding, or work – just peace and quiet.

I can completely relate to the feeling of burn-out. I’ve been feeling like that for the past month now. Good for you for acknowledging it and I hope you get some much-needed R&R when you go away on holiday! xx
