I know right?...
That's an interesting sentence. Planner community? Well, what I mean by that is, just a fabulous group of people that literally plan... in a planner... and sometimes take the time to decorate it's pages as they go. Why am I telling you this? Well, I guess I just found it fitting (after yesterday's heart felt blog post) to kind of explain what I sort of look forward to weekly, and the hobby that I have found, to give myself a creative outlet.
I know this may sound a bit weird to all a good majority of you, and that's ok. Believe me, I feel a bit "out there" when I try to explain it to some. ;) I have found that in decorating a weekly planner, that I have a much greater sense of organization as well as developing a way to create something for myself. I look at it like an energetic way to look back at all the things we were involved in, and a simplistic, yet entertaining way for Beckett to [someday] see all the appointments he had to endure to grow up big and strong! :)
I suppose it may be more effective for me to show you a rough example of what i've done in my planner...
As you can see, (or at least I hope you can), I track things like my daily water intake, when bills are due, when my favorite shows are scheduled to air, and also keep a list of places that I need to [find the time to] get to that week. I guess you could say that i've become quite the "sticker hoarder" over the last several months. ;) No shame.
Anywaaaaaay, the point of this blog post is simply to reach out. Reach out and share something that I feel passionately about, and get to feel free from judgment. I find it extremely important that we all find something for ourselves that calms us in the most stressful of times. Find something for ourselves that is in some way "therapeutic", if you will. I know that there's not a single person reading this blog that gets through their life without a way of coping, no matter how "embarrassing" it may seem. Well, it's probably not. I mean, I decorate a planner for crying out loud. ;) No judgment here.
It's true what they say, that we all are fighting a silent battle that others may know nothing about. My battle happens to be the loss of a child, and allowing my creative juices to flow again [through writing, and yes, planning] is not only helpful but uplifting.
What do YOU like to do when you're stressed, overwhelmed, or just need the wold to stop spinning so fast for just one second? No matter what it is, keep it SAFE, keep it HEALTHY, and share it with others. whether in a small conversation with your bestie, or a giant blog for the [facebook] world to see, like this "weirdo" here... <3
You never know who you may inspire. Share.
