Dear readers, I’m still around. A quick check in. To avoid burnout which you know, I know (see “about” page)- I am taking a few days to do all the cr##P I know how to do to replenish myself. See some of things I’ll be doing, via some helpful tips posts:
- Expert Tips: 4 Strategies for Coping with Stress,
- The Joy of Life Manifesto
- 8 Simple Tips to Sleep Better…
Also [amazon_link id=”0962713848″ target=”_blank” ]Relax & Renew[/amazon_link] is a fabulous book by Judith Lasater, on using restorative yoga at home. It’s awesome and really works- you need a few props and cushions, it’s so worth 20 min, daily or few times a week to avoid burnout. For a lot of it you can substitute cushions you have around, and blankets used creatively. Basically it’s passive supported yoga poses, super comfortable is the goal, no effort!

Why am I so beat??
Been working for weeks- wrapping my head around doing work as a web designer. Been staying up till 2am, many nights and now tired. I’m finally happy with my website, http://design.gallerylotus.com/. It’s work making a website, the design decisions, content decisions. This is a result of it dawning on me that my spending 18 months living and breathing blogging and blog and website setup and design-dovetails with my background in art. But it’s a revelation to me that I’ve enjoyed working digitally to do design-hence jumping into the adjacent world of web design out of the fine arts stuff.
So I”m off to practice the stuff I preach 😉 Restorative relaxation pose-legs up the wall, eye-pillow-here I come, oh where’s my music??
Oh-if anyone has an inspirational video or audio to recommend…
that I can use on this blog-let me know, I may use it! Should be uplifting and inspiring. Email me or leave it in comments.
So I’ve just manifested my new website: yah baby! If you are a solo entrepreneur or have a small business, lets talk about your web presence. Namaste and practice your self care, it’s crucial to the Yoga of Manifestation.
