This week finally felt like the most productive work and project wise since March. There was a hint of normalcy as I spent hours editing in front of a screen to make deadlines. It felt good to have a sense of that “back to the grind” mentality, but to be completely honest, I’ve gotten used to this new slower and more thoughtful pace that has transformed my routine these past few months. And as a result, it has completely changed my perspective on my work and what I want it to represent on this platform. I had a lot of time to focus on my wellness and inner peace that didn’t rely on the success of my career. I was still “working”, but I was working far more for myself. And that felt like freedom. And just as much as I felt lost this year, it was also no surprise that I found myself more energized and creatively inspired more than ever this year. And even with the world still so unclear and so fragile and so unpredictable and with many days that felt low and dark, I have found that there are still ways that we can find a sense of wellbeing amongst the madness. A new sense of “richness” that comes from within. As I go into the weekend, this is what I’ll be keeping in mind, and for every day to come. Give yourself a break this weekend. Feel the sunshine. Do what feels effortless to you.
