"I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more" C.S. Lewis

I found this interesting quote from C.S Lewis. We usually want friends and relatives to let us know when things are not okay, but when we are not okay we usually keep quiet.

Be kind to yourself this Christmas, manage peoples expectations and say no to overwhelming requests.

Prioritise rest and self-care, acknowledge your feelings without judgment, and maintain healthy routines like a balanced diet and gentle exercise.

It's also helpful to stay connected with loved ones and limit social media if it causes distress, remembering that you can ask for support if you need it.

Contrary to popular belief and the pictures- I did enjoy this today!

The weather hasn’t been kind, but a few hours out on the trails in Kent in mud you put your foot in and it disappeared a few inches with that squelching noise was needed.

Another 8.25 miles done and another day nearer to my next race 🙌

Definitely a case of mind over matter today and finding my “why” I do this.

The next few weeks will be very busy for most people, its still important to prioritise your mental health.

Make time for yourself over the season, it's okay to say "no" to overwhelming commitments and to set clear boundaries.

Plan activities you enjoy, whether they're festive like baking or relaxing like watching a movie, and create a routine to start your day.

Prioritise self-care through relaxing activities like a walk, bath, or meditation to recharge and manage stress.

Christmas day will still happen, it won't be ruined if you don't have one thing, remember what's important, people and experiences.

A week in pictures, and our annual visit to in South West London for the Christmas lights walk they put on around the botanic gardens. Something they’ve been doing since 2013. We’ve not been doing it that long but for the past few years it’s been a little tradition of ours!

The lights and music of the trails was wonderful and mesmerising despite the wet weather on Friday

We got up early on Saturday to experience another new parkrun and joined 486 other runners and walkers at the Fulham Palace parkrun which starts next door to the football club at Fulham FC and ran along the Thames

And yesterday took a trip to historic Canterbury to see how they’ve set up Christmas this year after getting up at 5am to complete one of my last long runs before my next 50km ultra in two weeks time, and reaching 50 miles run this week!

Amongst all the miles, early mornings, Christmas lights and rain, this week reminded me that life isn’t about rushing through each moment, but noticing the light in each one. Even small rituals, small steps and small joys can steady us. Here’s to finding brightness wherever we can, and letting it guide us forward.
