New trends in life are challenging my sense of balance. At times I am in the groove, enthused and energized. Writing flows and ideas evolve. Sometimes when I stop I am suddenly overcome with sadness, hopelessness and exhaustion. I need to remember creativity itself doesn't ground me. Creativity is the outpouring of a grounded soul. Here are a few everyday things that give me strength:

1. journaling for 20 minutes before work
2. going for a walk after work
3. preparing healthy meals, but the one I've tended to neglect recently is dinner
4. face-to-face time with friends
5. going to bed at 10:30
