I didn’t journal or sketch yesterday and I didn’t burst into flames!

So I missed my second day of the trifecta of journal/sketch/”write” as a daily ritual for 2018, but for a very different reason from the first. I just didn’t even think to at the end of a very busy but very fulfilling evening. I had had enough, my brain had wandered into a very relaxed and chilled state, and the thought was nowhere to be found to grab my journal sitting next to me and pop open the laptop for a quick doodle of words.

The first time I missed my day of #content, it was because I had a fully day of cooking dinner and hanging with friends, was tired at the end of it, and just wanted to sink into bed afterwards, tired and satisfied. I consciously decided to not do those things and it felt great.

This time, it was just never there in my head to consider. Nothing was in my brain, convincing me to do something else before shutting down for the night. That was a welcome surprise, honestly.

Another thumbs-up for the need to be able to really turn my brain off from itself and the world around it.
