be still.
I've been ten times busier than I thought I would be this summer. This has included: a new job, launching a photography business, and bridesmaid duties. I am so excited for this new season of life and for all the new people I am meeting. However, when life gets so full, I feel my heart longing for time to be still.
Am I the only one who gets home after a long day, plops down on the couch, and scrolls through instagram or turns on a good netflix show? I know there's nothing wrong with this, but for me this is time I could have spent writing or reading or creating.
Part of the creating process means resting, thinking, and listening. Three things I feel I've neglected. I am not the most organized person, but I know in order to keep writing, I need to schedule in this special time. To stop for a moment and read a good book, write a page in my journal, and let myself breathe. (hint: instead of going on pinterest...hehe)
Do any of you writers out there struggle with this? Let me know. What do you do to 'de-clutter' your brain, and spark imagination?

This is literally my life...today, for example, was an 11 hour day at the pool where I lifeguard...and by the time I get home I just want to veg. I'm not sure how to fit creativity in yet, although after reading this post I got inspired and did some writing on my break!
