I have zero motivation (mental illness doesn't help). I've barely made anything since June the last being a keychain in August. Bracelets are my life and I need to get back into it but idk how, ugh its so frustrating! I have ideas but nothing is working and I just want to go back. I'm sure when I get back into the flow of making things I'll do it non-stop.

Plus I miss braceletbook so much, I've loved this place. But I've done so many stupid things lately, been super unapologetic and I need to rebuild my old good habits somehow

Ease yourself back into it! Make a basic chevron or a candy stripe. From there I would do small, easy ones like #18 (classic), or small ~10 string keychain alphas. Build it up from there! Find a pattern of something you *really* like, or are super passionate about. It definitely helps the motivation train get moving when it’s something you like. You could even enter these small ones into a challenge if it would help, but not more than 2 challenges as it would definitely overwhelm you. Best of luck!! I hope you can get back into the groove (:

It helps me to review the patterns. When I see a lot of beatiful Patterns I gain motivation to do it

hey girl! i was in the same place the last time i had made something was last year in october lol
but what made me want to get back into bracelet making was just watching videos like kinsey b masha knots and a bunch of different yt vids
also looking though bracelet book and finding patterns you want to make and just making them while watching a show or listening to something really helped me
good luck!

HI @2006_Mandy , I think that it can help to ease your self into it and do like a chevron, try to make a goal like 2 rows a day and slowly build up from there. That is what I did when I stopped doing bracelets to get me back into them.
