Something I often hear from clients is how hard it can be to just stop and take a breath, whether it’s for five minutes, a few hours or even a weeks’ holiday; there seems to be an inate drive that pulls us towards being constantly busy and on-the-go all the time and, if we’re not, we can feel copious amounts of guilt and pressure for not being productive…
When did resting and doing ‘nothing’ become such a bad thing..? Our body needs rest, it thrives on it, but we often deny ourselves the opportunity to recharge, reset and reenergise; if we’re not allowing our bodies and minds to recover, we can never run on full steam when we do need to be busy.
A good way of taking a break and allowing yourself to come back into your body, to feel grounded with yourself and to reconnect, is to take some gentle exercise; simple fluid movement, nothing vigorous or strenuous, just stretching and working out tension, is a brilliant way of bringing balance back into your body, your mind and your life.
I am currently studying to become a Pilates Instructor and aim to be qualified within a few months; I specialise in women’s health and will be offering 1:1 sessions from my therapy room in Storrington, West Sussex.
