When joy turns to duty, knowing when that feeling hits is (and listening to it) so important.... Take a break, recharge, breathe and then come back .....or not, you'll have a fresh perspective anyway...

Following your intuition is always the right decision! Take a break, be present and enjoy life. I put a lot of pressures on myself too with having to post everyday on Instagram, post blogs for our personal journey living in Spain. What I realized was I was living for the post and not to just be in the moment. You’re the only one that those moments matter the most for anyway. 👏 enjoy your time away

I was posting daily with a theme for each day - got up to 112 posts very quickly - but I found it distracted from my other writing and editing, and, to be honest, I was not getting much of a response or growth. So I have backed off as well. Today was the first time in a week I was able to focus on one of my creative writing projects! Will I post more here? Likely, but mulling over how I will do so. Enjoy your break! Relax! Pax et bonum.

Creo que es una buena decisión si así lo sientes. Es una manera de volver con energías renovadas o no volver. En ese último caso, tampoco sería un drama, pues querría decir que no es el momento. Y siempre se puede retomar en otro momento. Un abrazo

I totally hear you!

Am on a bit of a break myself, enjoying the freedom, I’m glad you’re about to do the same until the pull of the page comes back. 😘
