Mojo, mojo...where for art thy mojo?

So this is a long overdue blog post that I doubt anyone will see...which is completely my fault. Who is going to stick around checking a blog that hasn't posted in months?!?!

So I'm showing up today to apologise for my absence and maybe you can relate.

We all tend to go in and out of phases of being inspired and then lacking any kind of motivation to create. I refer to my ability to create and take inspired action as my mojo, which seems to have left the building for most of this year.

What is most frustrating is that I have had all the time in the world to create this year and yet when I was working full time and life was hectic I would do my utmost to fit it in...to make it a priority. Being creative is a big part of who I am, I love that part of me and it is my happy place when I am in the zone.

But my mojo left me this year and I don't know why, I haven't had the desire or passion to create. I have done bits and pieces but it has been a struggle, does anyone else feel like this?

I love instagram and seeing everyone else killing it, making all the things. I wish it inspired me to make something but sometimes you can't help but beat yourself up for not rising to those standards. They say comparison is the thief of joy and there is no better place for comparing yourself to others than social media.

It stops here, I'm no longer going to feel bad about what I am doing (or not doing). I give myself permission to just be me and do what I can. Something is obviously better than nothing but if we all just do our best and take the pressure off ourselves to try and keep up or emulate others, we will feel better for it.

I'm not going to make any promises going forward, I'm just going to show up when it feels good for me. I obviously hope to be more proactive and that I will be overtaken with inspiration, but I'm not going to stress if that doesn't happen.

Regardless of all of these feelings, I know in my gut that 2020 is going to be an amazing year and that I am always learning and growing as a human.

So if you are feeling the same way, take the pressure off yourself...give yourself permission to just do the best that you can with no expectations.

Till next time, take care.
