Couldn't agree more with the need to listen to our mind and our body... and sometimes even our heart... regular time for rest, reflection, soul searching, exploring off the beaten path is a must. In my case - even just getting to bed earlier for a week or two and getting some solid rest for my body. I find that my own writing journey (just to focus on something relatable to everyone here) needs to have breaks built in... although for me they usually force themselves upon me🤣 I'm a bit stubborn like that!!! If I get on a roll creatively, I will write into the early hours, sometimes pulling an all-nighter! At those times I seem to have more energy than I know what to do with... but then just as quickly... it all dissipates and I struggle to come back. I find myself caught in that place between being desperate to write... and lacking the inspiration and energy to put pen to paper. These Dreemport break weeks allow me to focus on a few other writing goals and to run the dreem-wotw monthly writing challenge. I am fortunate to have special friends on Hive who both encourage me to write when I am struggling... and who allow me the rest times. Everyone's rest patterns look different... so if you see someone you know engaging in an unusual pattern, please be sure to check in on them, make sure they are ok, and offer words of encouragement and support. Just knowing that people care... and have noticed that you are not around... can make all the difference. You never know what people are going through off-chain... so many times it has taken just a simple interaction with a Hive friend in Discord to kickstart things again for me. And sometimes it takes a little longer... but the connections we make here mean something.
