Remember to stop... and stare!

Balance…

Remember life is not a race… or a competition. It’s true that we are all in it together, but we thrive and strive at different times… and we are all on different and unique paths.

I have learnt that being ‘busy all the time’ is not a badge of honour… Life is about balance - and sometimes that means putting the breaks on and downing tools.

Just by taking some time to stop and be still (especially when you are feeling overwhelmed..) will catapult you into more productivity and efficiency with a clearer head. Just try it… it works!

January 2021

We’ve stepped over the threshold and we have finally reached in 2021!  What a year 2020 was. So many of us have unique and personal stories from this tumultuous year and many of us find ourselves and our circumstances unrecognisable from this time last year and indeed the years gone by. We can do nothing about the past - except to accept it… and move forward with a new understanding and wisdom - that’s what I’ll be doing…

A brighter World will begin to emerge and hopefully an understanding of how we need to ‘Slow Down to Speed Up’… and realise that  ‘Compassion’ and ‘Kindness’ really is the answer. I once read that ‘Love’ is a greater force than ‘Gravity’ - I understand that now.  Let’s move forward together whilst equally focussing on staying in our ‘own lane’ shining our light out - brightening the way for others…

Despite feeling mentally and physically drained this year, I have managed to continue to exercise (a 10 year habit I will not break!)  Albeit not as rigorous as before - even a 20 minute walk counts - and  on some days that’s all I could manage - but it’s Something - and that’s always better than Nothing!  …And I know how much better I feel for moving and staying active.. it really does help… The worst part is always getting started.. after that it’s easy!

Back to the New Year and the New World… Time to Reset… Shake off the heaviness - release everything that no longer serves us (from inside the kitchen cupboards, within the wardrobe and in the pages of address books!) and hold on to what and who does!  - Let’s listen to our intuition a bit more and strive to strengthen our mind and resilience with movement, nutrition and Self Care and look 2021 straight in the eye.. and be present right there!

Keeping your memories alive

I really believe in less is more.   I am forever decluttering my surroundings and finding space in my head for the important things.  But recently during a spring clean I found my old camcorder.  I have no idea what is on it but I am lucky enough to have a lovely friend who can help me out.  Jess has just launched her website "Forget Me Not Films".  She transfers old video footage into wonderful films.  Such a lovely idea.  Make space for YOU ..... and keep your happy memories alive!
