~ h e l l o ~ 1.30.2022 | the importance of Hiatus So this is my first news letter. Welcome! Every week I will try and post a new newsletter. This week’s news letter is on the importance of Hiatus. ——— Many content creators often are “on Hiatus”. What is Hiatus? The definition of Hiatus is: ‘It’s a pause or gap in a sequence, series or process.’ As creators, we get wrapped up in, oh I have to have a posting schedule, or if I don’t post blank will happen, ect. We each should slow down, and ask ourselves: “Why do I do what I do?” I for example, I had a Hiatus. I took a break from scratch for a few weeks. I was able to take my mind of Scratch, and I came back feeling refreshed, and ready to create. I highly suggest you consider taking a hiatus. ——— Now, why is the practice of Hiatus so important? Well, if we are constantly going and going, and never taking a break, we will eventually get burnt out. When you are burnt out, you have reached your stress limit, and need a rest. It’s the same concept with sleep. As humans, we cannot simply go on and on, never taking a rest. We have to rest, and teak a break. ——— Hiatus falls into the category of self care. Self care is extremely important! We need to take time to nourish and care for ourselves. During your hiatus, consider doing things you enjoy, spending time with friends and family and doing other things that bring you joy. ——— To determine the length of your Hiatus, do what you feel like! It could be one day, three days, a month, three months, whatever works for you. :) ——— Thanks for reading! I really appreciate it <3 Have a wonderful rest of your day, and remember, So many people care about you :) @miistyx
