We are one year in on my medication trial. I’m on my fifth medication in that year and let me tell you what, I am exhausted….. There has been so many ups and downs. The biggest side affect I have dealt with has to be sleeping, along with lots of anger over said sleep. I have not been doing a thing, as you can tell from the silence on my blog and social media. So we are back to step on on the journey of adding more witchcraft into my life.
As a mom of three who just stays at home, I had to completely step back from my craft to make sure my babies were taken care of and my home was maintained. Let me tell you what, the home wasnt maintained, but my babies are safe and healthy and fed.
Guilt and Other Things
The idea behind starting this blog was to hold myself accountable on my craft and I have let myself and my readers down. For that I am so sorry. This has been one of the hardest journeys besides motherhood I have ever been on. This last medicine I was prescribed so far has been helping but it has been a pretty rough roller coaster. This is week three on it and I am starting to feel a bit normal again, hence me sitting down to write this blog piece.
How To
So the first steps into getting back into my craft this go around is going to be scheduling. I am gonna schedule my day out and specifically block out a portion of the night dedicated to ME time. That is where my craft time will be. I havent decided yet if I am going to dive in to doing a daily oracle card or starting to read my witchy books again. I am leaning more towards the daily oracle. I also downloaded an affirmation app called I AM and a witchy app called Saged to make my craft more visible on my phone, along with one called Labyrinthos.
The key element that I keep disregarding during this process is its about ME. I deserve me time and in order to be successful in this journey I need to practice self care. Stepping back from the worldly things and looking at the spiritual aspect is a huge step in the self care direction.
Back On The Beat
So hopefully with a lot of encouragement on my phone, written affirmations to myself, and a boost that normalcy is obtainable, I am hoping to get myself back on track to giving you guys weekly doses of my chaos and a bit of information on witchcraft. Thank you all so much for being on this crazy journey with me! I love you all!
