I felt the heaviness of many things. Things I needed to do and projects I wanted to complete for the week. The more awful part was the awareness that I had no joy or energy to do any of them.
Aside from the work projects I wanted to accomplish, it was also the week where I felt compelled to vacuum the carpet upstairs. It wasn’t one of those light cleans. It involved moving furniture in a massive way. Something I have hardly any strength or energy for.
No pep talk was enough to get me moving toward that direction.
So what did I do?
I decided to create something. Over the years, I have found creating something new or different an extremely satisfying way to promote my mental wellness and bring simple joy into my life.
Using a 5.5 x 5.5 inch sticker, I made my own Emotions Wheel poster board using one of the Emotions Wheel stickers created here.
Nothing fancy but it got my hands working and my creative juice flowing.
