A Week to Relax

Being ill is an unfortunate but natural event that can’t be helped. However, during this particular circumstance, I realised I could have helped myself. I started pushing myself, working all day with hardly any breaks and even when I did take some time to relax, I didn’t leave the house, just stayed cramped up in my room. There were no side-effects to begin with and so I continued, thinking everything would be fine, but that’s not how it works. My body snapped and I paid the price. I fell ill once more; the fourth in in only a few months, something that has never happened to me. The first time could have been the result of anything, the second could have been just as random, but then the third got me questioning but I didn’t do nearly enough to correct it. The fourth time opened my eyes and now it’s about time I did something about it.

Instead of throwing myself straight back into my writing, I’m going to take a week off to relax and recalibrate my mind. Next Monday, there will be a new post and maybe some changes if I feel they are appropriate. If there are any, I will explain them in due course over the next few days.

I have made a few of these notices explaining my sudden disappearance, and frankly I am getting a little tired of being ill and not putting anything up. When I started this blog, I had envisioned not missing a single day, but just over a year into running it, I’ve taken more days off due to illness than anything else, and I want that to change.

It didn’t help that I wasn’t keeping to a regular sleep schedule, I wasn’t eating a good diet, I was worrying about things that simply weren’t there; it all added up and now I’m paying the price. I got pushed back harder than ever, and it’s about time I started learning from my mistakes.

I would like to thank every single one of you who has been interested in my blog. I’ve said this so many times before, but it blows my mind that someone out there takes some time out of their day to read what I’ve written, and for that I am extremely grateful. When I come back next Monday, it’ll be all systems go once more, except with a few subtle changes behind the scenes.

Thanks for reading
