As the sun sets and the moon rises on another day. I’m taking the time to reflect on what a good day it’s been. In fact these last few days have felt really good. What’s been different? I’ve made a really conscious effort this week to slow down and just be, rather than the constant doing and pushing that I’m used to and here’s what I’ve noticed, I’ve shown up way better for my sons and for myself and I’ve actually had MORE time, not less. So what does slowing down look like? For me it’s meant, early nights, three circles this week, journaling, sitting out in the sun and reading, or just sitting and watching the boys play and joining in with their play sometimes too. It’s meant lots of soul care and body care, meditation, yoga, walking, having a bath and eating healthy food that I enjoy. It’s also meant a lot less social media, which has been a real drainer for me lately, the amount of negative posts currently circulating haven’t helped, so I’ve been taking a big step away from that, which has felt incredibly freeing. Slowing down has helped me recognise when it’s time for me to take a break from and connect back to, what matters most to me and I need a clear mind to do that, not one cluttered with toxic messages, because what I’ve found is what we let in from the outside world, becomes part of our internal world, so I’m choosing what I’m letting in, because that’s what I need to do for myself and for my family, right now.
How about you? How has your week been? I’d love to hear what you’ve been choosing to let in, or let go of.
