Very poignant message there Mark. I totally understand what you mean. In the last two years, due to family reasons, i felt there was too much pressure. So I decided to do things as pure escapism I.E doing loads of diy projects, reading, jigsaws. This is because I know my mind would over-calculate the situations. I have now learnt to take things at easy as I was actually burning myself out.
BTW…I had sent an e-mail to Weekendshedhead last week. On there is my design of the bike shed I would like do and some of my questions. Feel free to request the E-mail as those questions will be the questions on Thursday. But I totally understand if you don’t get a chance due to being busy with either work and family life. Thank you once again for your continuing advice and good sense of humour (my partner and 18month old son watched last episode and laughed when they saw you eager to get your guitar out). They could see the excitement in your eyes of wanting to play. Hope the week treats you well. Look forward to Thursday. Iain

We all need healthy distractions and coping strategies and what you have described is good, but even they can lead to burnout if you’re over using them.
I’ve messaged Rob about your email, I will try and look ahead of Thursday if I get time.
Have a good week
Mark

😁 Wise words indeed Mark. I've just been through a simular period and it ended up completely wiping out my confidence, not only in everyday life but mainly in front of the camera in my workshop 😔. I'm now slowly finding my feet again but at my own pace. As you say your health is so so important (physical or mental). Keep up the great work Mark 😁👍. Looking forward the Shed Space on Thursday. Take care 😁👍

Thanks for sharing the Frank. Wen you’re low both physically and mentally it very quickly steals your sense of worth and you begin to doubt your own ability. It can become a bit of a viscous circle. Glad to hear you’re doing better.
Take good care.

Thanks Mark, I appreciate these videos. It helps me to stop and listen to see if there is something for me to learn. You have said they are not the most watched, but please keep them coming. Cheers

I really appreciate your encouragement and knowing what I or out helps.
