Where's Your Restart?
From the get go I said I’d be writing
things about fashion and lifestyle, and I guess this blog post still is. I
don’t want to sound like I talk about mopey stuff or get into that habit of it
but this is something I think we all forget.
Where’s your restart?
We’ve all got one and we sometimes forget where
it is, or what it is. It could be an album, film, photo, smell or anything that
makes you stop and think clearly again. For me it’s a place. Nothing special
but it’s my place.
That’s
all changed now.
Since finishing uni, I started straight
into a hectic full time job and never gave myself time to chill. You know? I
didn’t really consider in my head how much of big deal going into full time
work would be. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love working. Since I was 15
I’ve always had jobs and I just like working hard. Even with creative ideas,
I’ll work as hard as I can to get the results I want, even if It doesn’t work
out least I can be proud to say I tried. But sometimes you need to slow down.
Things can become a little hazy, you’re not yourself and all in all, you’re
just not enjoying life.
Heading back to those gardens was a breath
of fresh air (and a great day off) just walking around and the ridiculous
colours. Then the best part of the day happened when I remember this tiny
secret garden, which people just seem to stroll by. I opened the heavy metal
gate and was greeted by this pond with a couple of gentle fountains, and a few
wonderful skinned fish cruising about. And it was silent. In a fairly busy park,
everything was calm for a second and it all just rebooted. You know when you
sometimes get a blocked ear from a train or plane or a cold and eventually it
just pops back and all becomes clear? Think of that but in your mind. All that
I was getting stressed, tired and frustrated about seemed to organise itself
and basically said to myself, “Sam.Wake up yeah? It’s all good”.
I’m not saying it will be as easy as that
for everyone who’s knackered or struggling abit and it might not even be a
place. But it’s good to know you’ve got a hold of something that is always
there to kick start you and get you back on track. If you still don’t really
know what your restart is, maybe do some backtracking. Rediscover some
nostalgic memories in your life and see how it goes. It definitely worked for
me and you never know it might work for you.
Since then, I’ve had some really good ideas
for this blog, I know what I’m going to attempt to achieve at work (whether it
works or not) and I feel clearer about things now.
Hope anyone who reads this, genuinely gives
this ago and maybe let me know how it goes?
Thanks very much,
Sam
