The last month or so has been a sluggish uphill battle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I’ve been purely focused on getting healthy<\/strong> and finding my balance again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I’ve lost 5 kilos, and been going to bed at a decent hour every night and am now feeling so much better as a result.<\/p>\n But, in the middle there I lost all motivation for blogging.<\/strong><\/p>\n I could barely look at the computer or send out a tweet. I scraped by with a\u00a0bit here and there, but I was really really uninspired.<\/strong><\/p>\n I felt like quitting, but didn’t because I knew I didn’t really want to in the long run.<\/p>\n I just wanted to jump off the boat for a while.<\/p>\n I knew there was a special reason for it. My latest podcast talks about me clearing the crap from my life<\/strong><\/a>. Part of that involved this blog and y travel blog.<\/p>\n I have not been happy with how it’s been going and I’ve felt quite directionless. Not only that, I had been involved in and giving my attention to a lot of places that were just renting my head space<\/strong> and zapping me of my usual light, positive energy.<\/p>\n I take full responsibility and have reined myself in from that. I\u2019ve culled the negativity in my life and from now on I am focused on getting back my mojo.<\/strong><\/p>\n I have been sitting around for weeks now asking myself many questions.<\/p>\n No answers came.<\/p>\n But, I knew to be patient and trust in the magic of the Universe<\/strong>. My questions and thoughts were just left to stew for a while until the right solution could be found.<\/p>\n Thanks to a series of events, not co-incidentally, because I don’t believe anything is, I am now seeing a much clearer path. I have had a lot of insight and growth.<\/p>\n I’m still not completely sure how to implement the changes, but the mojo is returning and I am feeling so much better. I think I might be able to write again. I just hope I can do a better job than what I have been doing for some while.<\/p>\n There will be times when no matter what you are doing or what goal you are chasing, you will lose your mojo.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s just a part of life. It’s difficult to remain up all the time, as challenges are thrown your way and negativity seems to scout you out in corners unforseen.<\/p>\n You have just got to understand that it is all very natural, and it is usually the Universe trying to get your attention<\/strong> to make some changes.<\/p>\n The best thing you can do is accept your funk and then make the decision to do what needs to be done to get out of it.<\/p>\n First, look towards your health<\/strong><\/a>. What is not right here?<\/em> A slump could easily be put down to a lack of energy which can be easily fixed.<\/p>\n
