Asking for a thing.

Because it is so relevant to me right now: Remember, you don't have to always give 100%. If you do, you will burn out. Stopping when you still have a bit of energy left isn't a failure - it's a massive achievement that will help you build a better tomorrow. #Fatigue #Pacing
ALT Small book held open. LHS title: Myth: If I don't give 100% I haven't tried hard enough and am giving in." Elite athletes only give 100% for special events (e.g. actual races) - after which they do less for a few weeks while they recover. In training, if they aim for 100% all the time they quickly get over-training injuries and performance worsens. This will happen to us too if we try to live at 100%... RHS has stickman looking tired but happy, labelled 'every day effort level'. Stickman collapsed in a little ball of exhausted misery 'special event effort level'.

One of the best bits about having #allmywildmothers out in the world, is being able to talk deeply about things that matter with such wonderful people. In a culture of productivity & speed, taking time to connect and go beneath the surface is such a generous gift #naturememoir
I interviewed the fascinating @VikBeeWyld about her book All My Wild Mothers, creating art and being shaped by those around us on my Substack:

I wrote a bit about the changes in my relationship with creativity through everything that last couple of years has thrown at me. This is a vulnerable one but hopefully it resonates with someone. #writing

Do you need a book? Of course you do, so why not order from a lovely indie ⬇️📚🦊
What a mess August has been for book sales. I know it’s holiday month but sales are down 60% on Aug ‘22. I’m not disheartened, I’ll keep trying my best as I have some fantastic books here, I just need to sell them…
