There are somedays when I miss my mojo, wondering where it had gone. The days seem a little longer, a little more dreary and feeling I needed a break from it all.
Mojos bring joy to the page, a bounce to our step, the whistle on our walk.
They charge us with a feeling of possibility that turns an average day into a brilliant one … we all want more of those days! Which is why it’s important we look after them.
May’s comment: Another guest blog by Ashley Brown – Five things your mojo wants you to know
I like to have fun– Apparently, mojos don’t like taking life too seriously. If you feel yourself falling down that rabbit hole, it’s time to have some fun! Doctor’s orders.
I have BIG dreams- Mojo’s don’t like playing it safe, putting them in a box is a waste of their magic. Let them chase those dreams even if they scare you!
Show me some love – When we neglect our mojo’s they neglect us, they need to be told how great they are! Celebrating your wins and being kind to yourself keeps them perky.
I like variety – In people, food, places, experiences. Mojo’s light up when they are inspired, follow your bliss and remember variety is the spice of life.
Listen to me – What’s your mojo trying to tell you? That voice is your greatest ally. Take your foot off the pedal? Book a trip? Mojos are smart, they just want us to listen. If you wake up without your mojo don’t panic, rest assured it will be back. One thing I have learned is creativity always finds a way, and with a little self-love mojo’s always find their way home.
The last two weeks have been one of the most trying. I was on a deadline to get a refurbishment done in time for the arrival of the new occupants. I begged, I cried (yes, crocodile tears do work – LOL!), I fumed, I stomped around, I was angry. I went to bed every night exhausted and woke up the next day with a long list of things to try and get them done – all relying on the people I don’t trust.
I had definitely lost my mojo. Everything was difficult, every day was trying and everyone was impossible to deal with. There was no joy in what I was doing. I was overworked. I didn’t even have the time to go on another staycation – it wasn’t possible.
That’s when Ashley reminded me of our mojo. Yup, I’ve lost it. To get it back, we need to be kind to ourselves. We can’t allow to let our battery to run out. We need time for ourselves, maybe to get away from what we do every day.
Maybe it is time for another staycation! 🙂
