So I’ve missed a weekly blog post. 

Not that it’s anything earth-shattering. Honestly, it probably did me some good. 

It gave me some time for much needed R&R. 

I’m not going to apologize for listening to my body–it’s what I needed, both for my health and creative process. 

I’ve just recently gotten back from a work trip–for my day job– and since being back, everything has felt a little off. 

Not like I’m overwhelmingly backlogged with emails, damaged equipment, or things like that.

Just enough that adds up after a while. 

I didn’t feel like writing.

I didn’t feel like doing much of anything really. 

There was a moment that I felt unsettled–like there was something wrong with me.

 Sometimes it’s not a lack of motivation–it’s just a lack of rest. 

After sitting with it, racking my brain, I realized it wasn’t that deep. 

Turns out when you pair poor sleep quality with jet lag your body tends to protest. 

It makes everything feel off.

I think sometimes I forget how much getting a good night’s rest really matters. 

How quickly your body is affected when you’re not fully reseted. 

Still I wouldn’t say I’m back 100% yet, but I do feel a bit better than I did when I first got back. 

And right now, that’s the sweet spot I’ve landed in. 

So my clawlings, I hope you’ve all been getting plenty of rest and are putting your body first!

More Soon,

Quill
