Like you, I’ve got a lot on my plate- I’m at stay at home mum to my almost three year old and I take on photography work as and when I can. In spite of there being a lot to juggle day to day, I always try to prioritise my self-care. Without it, I’m not much use to anyone. Every day I try to do something creative. I take photos, I write or I make music.

Elizabeth Gilbert said recently that although she was a writer, her real work lay in managing her mental health. She talked of a series of daily practices that helped her keep the black dog at bay. A mix of spiritual, emotional and physical ways to shake the energy out. I can totally relate to this.
