Over the edge I go

Friends, I have been absolutely on top of things. I am organised. I am doing things. I am relaxing. I am baking bread & making cookies & putting dinner in the slow cooker before work. I have an old hyper focus turned new again (gardening) that is filling my brain space & making me feel excited. I am having an extremely busy at work week. I am parenting a home schooling kid & it’s going well (thank fuck!)

But my attention span is shot to shit. Ask me the last time I read a book & I couldn’t answer you. I am here there & everywhere but also nowhere. I think this feeling cyclical for me. Maybe it’s hormonal? Maybe it’s seasonal. I don’t really know.

Today, I realised that I absolutely need a break from the news. A local story just tipped me over the edge. It’s a story that’s played out in the news every week. A story of family violence. After reading an article today & seeing it in the news last night it was as though my heart said to my brain “ok, no more.”

And I think my brain is also saying “no more input please, we can’t take any more in”. It’s too much right? Not just the news but everything. There’s too much of everything!

I feel it’s time for a little reset for me. There’s a lot going on in my life, both good & trying, so I need to be responsible for what I consume. I need to stop looking for distractions & thinking I need more information, more ideas, more of everything. I have plenty. I know plenty. There is plenty to do.
