Life has felt quite heavy lately.
There have been beautiful moments too, and if anything, they’ve encouraged me to seek them out even more.
The smile and kind words from the woman at my local IGA.
Rainbows bringing colour and magic to grey winter skies.
Dance parties with my daughter and her wonderfully erratic hip-shaking moves.
A cup of tea made for me.
Time in nature.
The simple things.
As someone who is empathetic and sensitive, I feel a lot. And between what is happening in the wider world, the joys and challenges of my own life, and holding space for friends, my family and the women I work with, I realised I needed to step back for a moment.
We live in a culture that celebrates constant productivity. More doing. More creating. More pushing. More hustling.
But where does that leave space to grieve?
To feel the depth of our emotions?
To laugh and play?
To honour our seasons, our cycles, and the chapter of life we’re currently moving through?
For me, right now, the answer has been less.
Less pressure.
Less noise.
Less expectation.
More softness.
More presence.
More beauty.
More being.
One of my beautiful teacher’s recently reminded me that it’s okay to stop. It’s okay to take a break.
The relief I felt hearing those words was enormous, she gave me permission to stop pushing, to step into my feminine energy and slow it all down.
So if you’ve been feeling the same pull, this is your reminder too.
Slow down where you can.
Tend to yourself with so much love and kindness.
Life is precious, fragile and beautifully fleeting.
Let’s not get so busy building a life and trying to keep up with everything else that we forget to actually live it and enjoy it. xx
