A new printable went up in my Patreon community this weekend!⁠
⁠
I wanted to create a simple worksheet to fill in and keep track of my gratitude for the whole year. We can use journalling to write more long form memories of the year, but this worksheet forces me (and you) to be concise and create keywords for each month. As the months go on, maybe we'll see a pattern of the things we value most? ⁠
⁠
New printables are uploaded to my Patreon every now and then - with the monthly Mindset & Mindfulness worksheets released at the start of each month. If you'd like to support me and also get a bunch of printables, check me out on patreon.com/makesunshineco - I'd love to see you there x ⁠

As we wind down the summer holidays here in Austra

As we wind down the summer holidays here in Australia, I stumbled upon an article that basically laid it out straight like this -⁠
⁠
Showers and errands aren't self care. ⁠
Going to Kmart isn't self care. ⁠
Doing the groceries isn't self care. ⁠
⁠
I think it's easy for mums to think of these things as luxuries, things that we should enjoy because it's "me time" and we should be grateful to be out of the house. But when you really think about it, these things weren't designed to relax us, to calm us down. They're things we do in order to run our homes and lives - but they're not activities specific to our mental or physical health. Sure, it might contribute to it - without grocery shopping, we wouldn't have good food to eat. Without Kmart, I wouldn't be clothed (LOL). ⁠
⁠
But do I come home after masking up and trying to get everything done on my to-do list, relaxed and rejuvenated? Do I feel replenished? Is my head clearer and my body strong? Most likely not, right? ⁠
⁠
OK, I can see how a trip to Kmart can feel like a fun thing - but is it 100% self care? Not really, especially if it involves towing the kids around looking for school supplies and new underpants for everyone but yourself. ⁠
⁠
What is self care to you? What are you doing that is just for YOU? Not a side product of an errand you or someone else could of done. What is the 1 thing you can do, that is purely for your own self soothing? Where is your bliss? What makes you feel recharged and ready for the day? ⁠
⁠
Self care isn't selfish but if I need to say it here I will - go and be selfish for your own good today. Your mind & body will thank you for it later x⁠

IT HURTS MY BRAIN - I told my husband when he aske

IT HURTS MY BRAIN - I told my husband when he asked me how my drawing was going 🤣⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This month in my Patreon, we're talking about doing things that we've always wanted to do - to try and stop categorising it as something that is 'too late to try' or you're 'not good at, so I'll stop trying' ... ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For me, drawing digitally was the thing I've always been interested in, but never explored past admiring others who do it. So when the opportunity rose, I was able to purchase an affordable drawing monitor and started drawing every day since Jan 1st ❤️⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I was never good at drawing or painting - but curiousity and creativity always gets me 😅 so it's been a challenging process to learn about drawing styles, how to draw faces and hands (ugh, handsss) and how to use colour. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm happy to be at the very start, to know that this is not where I stop - that I'm still growing my skills and there's more to learn. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you could start something today or this week, even if you suck at it, but it's something that you're genuinely excited and curious about -- what would it be? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
(And what do you think of my self portrait? 😉)⁠⠀
