My love for getting outside is well documented on this little corner of the internet as it’s such a big part of my life. It’s a running joke in our household that I’m just like our dogs Josie and Edie as much like them I have to get outside every day to feel better mentally as well as physically. When it comes to getting outside in the colder months I have to confess the urge to explore drops a little for me as it’s cold, more than likely raining and it’s not as appealing as it is in spring and summer when you can bask in the warmth of the sun and appreciate everything coming into bloom. But, there is a different kind of beauty to embrace when it comes to A/W and I think it’s even more important to make sure you’re still getting outside and seeing somewhere new, you’ve just got to be well prepared.

Burnout is something that I’ve experienced so many times and every single time I tell myself that is the last time that it will happen. Inevitably it always happens again and more often than not it’s down to how I’ve managed my time and disregarded my boundaries over anything else. Whether you work for yourself or you work in more of a traditional job setting I think it’s something that we all deal with as there is always so much to do. Lately, I’ve been super busy but for once I’ve managed to avoid the burnout that I would typically face and this is how I’ve done it.
