We had a visit from a Big BIG BOY today.
A true gentleman. A delightful respite after a busy morning 💜

It started with the City to Surf last year- the very thought of which terrified me at the time…it’d been YEARS since my feet hit the footpath with any kind of sp*ed for longer than 20m.
But that turned into the Sunday Morning Run Club…mostly to keep us accountable on a Saturday night!
And somewhere during happy hour & the bottom of wine #2 a Marathon was put on the table along with wine #3…
Then came Park Run on Saturday mornings…for a while anyway!
And slowly and UNsurely we ran some more…
And more
At times with large breaks as we alternated injury & illness & juggling life.
But we stayed the path - even if sometimes only mentally 😂

Fast forward to now and we’re a month away from the Sydney Marathon
Did we train enough?
Probably not.
Both of us have been working waaaay too much.
Have we trained enough to finish - yes.
And whilst we won’t be breaking any records I’m so proud of myself & Jane as I look back on how far we’ve come in a year.
As athletes (that’s what I’ve started calling us) & friends.

It’s a beautiful reminder that great outcomes are created one small consistent step at a time.

And on the slowing down theme…
Since lightening my load significantly, I’m actually beginning to really enjoy my training.

The shift is palpable.

Food for thought…

Give your Self the gift of PRESENCE …
Everyone & everything around you will be better for it

THINGS I ENJOY SINCE SLOWING DOWN…

Cooking
Housework
My partner!

SERIOUSLY

I am shocked by this realisation.

The housework no longer occurs as another bloody thing I have to do.
Cooking is a pleasure again rather than a box ticking pain in my butt.
And I’m no longer fantasising about being alone 😂

I am astounded how deep in I was.
How tired
How exhausted
How resigned!

As someone with ADHD &/or addicted to rushing
SLOWING DOWN IS HARD
So many ideas
So little time!
If you know you know.
Stress is addictive
Relying on that pressure to function eventually becomes unsustainable.
And realising this is how you live is a woods and trees situation.
Soooo, if you are either ON-usually at sp*ed,
or OFF-some version of collapse…
This is probably YOU!

At some point it catches up.
Relearning to function in a healthy & sustainable way, especially in a culture that applaudes & celebrates BUSYNESS ain’t easy

But the ridiculous thing is, it’s 100% more productive & efficient if you look at it from a performance perspective.
There’s probably a cost benefit there too.
ANNND it’s Eleventy-million % more enjoyable!

Yet we’re still pushing the hustle & grind culture.

I’ve been here before
A different version of the same thing
This time no one expected me to work so much - I CHOSE TOO!
As I said, woods & trees…
At least this time they’re palm trees!

Slowing down
And I mean REALLY slowing down
Is a ongoing process

Rushing & filling time
Creating urgency
Always being on the go
Has been my natural state.

This is me rewiring & regulating

Slowing down has been life changing.

I’ll share more over the next few weeks

But take notice.
Are you rushing
Always on the go
Doing all the things?
A clear indicator is whether you’re doing the thing you REALLY want to or not…

And so much cheaper than co***ne & ecstasy- without the come down, inability to p*e and 2 days of the sads…
But that’s a story for another day!

Your choices determine your quality of life.

Health, happiness & wellbeing is earned.
Fought for.
Day after day.
Don’t kid yourself with the excuse some people are just lucky.

We all write the story of our own lives.
If you’re middle aged and still struggling with the same s**t you did in your 29’s & 30’s, you got work to do.

And it’s probably the inner kind.

What are you waiting for?
Life is short.

A big life doesn’t necessarily mean big events, big wins, big deals…
A big life I’m discovering can be made up of lots of tiny moments that touch your heart…
No audience, no accolades, no conquering of anything
Instead moments of pure joy
That make you giggle with delight
Bring tears to your eyes,
And fill your heart with joy again

Yesterday I had a whole day OFF
OFF WORK
OFF LINE
OFF DOING
And I focused on BEING…

I ran
I thought
I processed
I walked on the sand and in the sea
I shopped
I cooked
I cried
I enjoyed long conversations with dear friends
I remembered how much I love LIFE
And I didn’t end the day exhausted

Healing & Self Care are one & the same

I’ve learnt so much about being human
About stress
About coping
About capacity
About grief

About SLOWING DOWN
About my Self

And I am looking forward to weaving it all into my work as a Facilitator, Teacher & Coach

Turns out lightening my load
Is the permission my body needed
To STOP
For the last few weeks my afternoons are variations on this
EXHAUSTION
I’m fortunate I have the ability to allow my Self to take time out & switch off
I’m not sure I have a choice anyway!
Many do not.
And the cycle of stress keeps going.

Stress ages you.
Stress impacts metabolism.
Stress actually filters through your entire life, impacting the choices you make, your mood, your sleep, your hormones, your relationships…
Your ability to create a life you THRIVE in, not just survive

Without sound WELLBEING FOUNDATIONS your temple will collapse eventually.
