What happens when you need rest… but your responsibilities and 'necessaries' still need doing, you still need to work and life doesn’t slow down? ✨In between videos ~ Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/theunexpectedgypsy Patreon ~ https://www.patreon.com/theunexpectedgypsy TikTok ~ https://www.tiktok.com/@theunexpectedgypsy Facebook ~ https://www.facebook.com/theunexpectedgypsy Shop ~ https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheUnexpectedGypsy This week I’ve been documenting my own self care routines still being so busy and whilst working; a mix of work stuff, painting, filming, editing, and also learning how to fit the breathing spaces, the pauses into all of it, somehow. As summer has turned almost overnight into autumn, I honestly feel tired, overwhelmed and unready for the colder months,. Craving for more rest times to properly restore my energy batteries. In this video I’m sharing the honest rhythm of my intention towards slow living in a creative vlog, from work moments and my latest watercolour painting process, to walking and taking care of Jeffy, to recognising when it’s time to put the brushes (and everything!) down. If you’ve ever felt caught between needing rest and having responsibilities, which I feel like is all of us... I hope this vlog feels like a gentle reminder that you’re not alone. 👉 Watch until the end for my reflections on the art of slowing down even when life feels chaotic. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly videos on creativity, healing, and gentle living: https://www.youtube.com/@UCzk20sJQ2gq_XB9oCgOWrQA 🌸 Join my Patreon Community for behind-the-scenes, extras & creative community: https://www.patreon.com/theunexpectedgypsy ✨Feel free to tag me on Instagram with your latest creations & let's chat in the comments too!
