Too cold to stay outside, too sunny to stay inside

One of the issues with early spring is that it’s still a bit too cold to stay outside, but when the sun is out I just don’t want to stay at home, especially if I already had to go out. Oh and, this sun is so deceiving! It makes me want to take walks, but if I’m not dressed warmly enough it just won’t work.

So, I found a compromise today. After I finished at uni, I took the bus back to Woolwich, I went to artFix and sat down at one of the tables in front of a massive window. It was cosy because I was inside, but I also felt the sun. I also got to do some work, ate, and drank a coffee. What more could I ask for from a workday?

On the bus, I started thinking about all the things I have to do this week and I started feeling a little overwhelmed. I was curious what was it about this overwhelmedness and checked with my mind, my heart, and my body. On the one hand, my mind was alright. On the other hand, I realised this was my heart’s desperate attempt to make me feel an emotion before I lock everything out. It’s also my body’s fear of being ignored. It’s okay, now that I know, I can cater for my own needs and balance my time.
