Have I lost my Mojo?


 


I feel like I have completely lost my blogging Mojo!

I came back from BritMums focused and knew what I wanted to do and how to do it!

But the following weeks have been uneventful. Home School has been pretty straightforward but we have spent most of the time learning rather than taking part in anything; there hasn’t, then, been anything to write about.

The Boys behaviour has been pretty standard too. There hasn’t been anything exciting or bad that, again, I could write about, well, apart from the fact that they’re going through a lying* phase.

So I haven’t been able to take part in posts like ‘Wicked Wednesdays’ or ‘From the Mouth of Babes’ because there literally hasn’t been anything.

So what about me?

My mental health has been flaring up this last week; I know the reasons for this but at the moment I can’t even write about that until I get a few bits clear in my head first. Then, hopefully, I can write about it and get support from my friends if I need it.

This really isn’t helping though. My head is all over the place and there are moments when I don’t know if I am up, down, left or right. So even if I try to formulate how I feel in words I stumble; nothing sounds right and even if I try hard it seems like it’s always wrong.

The only other thing that I have going on outside of Boys and my well-being is my move to the flat. Yet, again, nothing is that exciting to write about; unless you all want to know what Carpet colour and Kitchen appliances I have bought?!

I am sure once I have moved in I will write something.

My head and emotions are in a place of limbo, the boys are just stereotypical boys (Although I should appreciate this. Must be better than them being a nightmare) and I am in the middle of moving house; nothing is set one way or another.

Everything just seems between places.

I do have a few tagged posts that I need to write but I also don’t want to fill my entire blog up with a week’s worth of them!

I am hoping that a few things can slot in to place, good or bad, and I can hopefully get my focus and blogging Mojo back!

Martyn, this is the internet. OF COURSE WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE KITCHEN APPLIANCES. Thanks for sharing how you're feeling, I'm sure we all go through these fugs x

Pal you've been doing this long enough now to know there are ebbs and flows to blogging. You'll get it back soon enough, and when you do it will be beautiful! Don't beat yourself up over it. I know how hard it is to come up with something worth reading on a daily basis. Like Moderate Mum said also, hell yeah we want to see the new appliances!

Agreed.

I'm sure your mojo will come flooding back soon, all it will take is one event or trigger and you'll have something you want to write about. Then you'll find you have so much to say aain you'll be set for days :)

You want me to embarrass myself in some way don't you? That usually amuses and cheers you up....no doubt I will at some point soon! Mr K stop stressing, you don't have to blog every single day we'll all still be here when you don't. As for the other stuff we spoke about, you have to do what's right for you. Also if you're stuck for inspiration how about posts like:

10 reasons I love/hate moving house
Bachelor Pad vs family home decor
10 reasons why I should smile (or 5 if you're having a bad day still!)
A guest post from me on 10 reasons why Martyn should smile ;) lol
5/10 things I want to do with the boys when they get back off holiday
5 films I love
5 films I wish I'd never watched
5 photos that mean a lot to me
10 reasons why Stevie is amazing....anyone feel free to do that one mwah ha ha ha

When you lose the mojo (groovy baby....sorry already twitter bombed you with that one he he) do some 5 things posts, they keep your blog active, don't take a lot of writing and take your mind off other things.

Hope I've helped and DM me again if you need to lovely
