 Your life is probably a lot more chaotic and stressful than you'd like it to be. At times, you feel like you're spinning out of control. And gaining control is actually easier than you might think. Tap into some blue energy by finding calm and serenity every day. You have the inner peace and strength you seek. You just need to find it. |
Serenity in the middle of the NaNo? Yeah, I wish. No, really, I do wish. But that's nowhere to be found while I'm a couple of days' worth of wordcount behind and my family aren't being supportive.
Grumpy is very stressed out at work recently, and I can sympathise, but it feels like it's going on forever, and I'm grumbled at if I stay late to write, or if I neglect house duties. That's not fair. I cook, wash up, do laundry, take full care of Spawn, all because Nobody. Else. Will. Volunteer. And I write on top of everything else. Of course I'm going to be tired and snappish and stressed and not quite up to par. If the others would haul their asses off the sofa for a few minutes a day and a couple of hours of a weekend, none of all this would be the case. But the lady of the house is worse than the hired help: there's no wage, no time off, no sick leave.
I'm not giving in to the attempts at guilt-tripping, but that's not doing anything for my stress levels, and I want out.
