I’m Tired (Here’s Why)

July 13, 2019July 14, 2019 ~ IAmKatyLees ~ Leave a comment

I'm Tired We're over halfway through the year and, honestly, I'm exhausted. This year has been full-on and it's been one of the best of my life, but I'm also struggling to keep a balance between working hard and taking care of myself. Sometimes you have to spend lots of energy to do restorative activities, … Continue reading I’m Tired (Here’s Why)

April 11th – June 30th 2019

July 6, 2019January 10, 2020 ~ IAmKatyLees ~ Leave a comment

After taking a forced break, in which my old phone refused to take any kind of photos or videos, I'm back to taking a second of video every day. Sometimes it can seem like one day just runs into another, especially if my mental health is poor or I'm extremely busy. It's nice for me … Continue reading April 11th – June 30th 2019

You’ll Never Be 100% Ready (So Do It Anyway)

June 15, 2019June 14, 2019 ~ IAmKatyLees ~ Leave a comment

Anxiety's a funny thing. It can convince you that there's one thing you need to do to solve everything - to get that job, to pass that exam, to have a family, to get married, to reach that important goal - and then, just before you get there, it can make you freeze. Suddenly you're … Continue reading You’ll Never Be 100% Ready (So Do It Anyway)

Enjoy the Sun

I'm struggling this Summer. It's not exactly hot here in England, but it's getting noticeably warmer and brighter. Usually this means my low-cut dresses and short skirts come out for the season, but this year I've been covering up with hoodies and jeans when I've ventured outside instead. I think this is because I've been … Continue reading Enjoy the Sun

Self-Care Is Whatever You Need It To Be

May 11, 2019May 8, 2021 ~ IAmKatyLees ~ Leave a comment

Self-care can feel like a tricky concept to properly get to grips with. It isn't just bath bombs and scented candles - it's doing everything we need to do to stay functional (whatever that looks like for you), comfortable (same again), and alive. This can, and should, mean going out of your way to give … Continue reading Self-Care Is Whatever You Need It To Be

Enjoying What You’re Shit At

May 4, 2019May 3, 2019 ~ IAmKatyLees ~ 1 Comment

One of the worst things about my chronic anxiety is that I often feel like I can't do things I'm not amazing at. I was one of those 'gifted' kids who's value to adults revolved around how smart and competent I was, which was terrifying because I thought I was never allowed to fail, or … Continue reading Enjoying What You’re Shit At
