I’ve not written in an age have I? I’ll be honest, this whole in and out of lockdown had completely sapped my creativity in terms of what I could write about in this blog. I know I am not the only one, so I take some comfort from that, just!
The last 5 months have been hard. Winter, no social contact (or very little) has left me feeling massively jaded. The only highlights have, in terms of social contact, been getting my car serviced and an opticians appointment! How life has changed eh? Things are supposedly on the up, we’re starting to unlock again, but for how long?
I don’t actually want this blog to be a massive moan, so let’s move on!
There have been some good points. I am training to become an ICF accredited coach! It’s something which has been in my head for a long old time, like over 6 years! I am finally doing that. I am looking at implementing this into my business. But it also helps me. Coaching, being coached and observing really helps you get to grips with how you feel about things.
The new way of working has also made me realise that I am a bit shit when it comes to boundaries. A lot shit actually. I say that I have them, but do I really? I am definitely that person who cannot say no. I would help anyone and everyone if I could, but at some point I need to work out there are just not enough hours in the day… actually, I need to work that out right now! Adding the coaching training to my expanding list of things to do has made me realise how much, or how little I value my own time, not to mention space.
Thankfully all this lack of people hasn’t destroyed my relationship. I know a lot of people have really found out about how they feel about their partners! If anything I think we’ve got closer. We have managed to keep ourselves entertained and so pretty happy. Winter was hard, both of us struggled, but a hefty dose of MacGyver seemed to do the trick (don’t ask!)
I am sure there is a lot more I could say, but as the creative juices are somewhat stagnant, this may be all your getting right now. Hopefully, no, I definitely, want to get back into a schedule of writing. Not for clients, just for me.
Hope you are all keeping sane and safe! Until next time…
