I've made the most of being off today. Normally it would be a walk in nature but there was zero enthusiasm for going out in that! Even Meet Montgomery was reluctant. Truth be told it's been a while since I did that and it's beginning to tell on my mood and my waistline 😕 Roll on the brighter, longer days! The strap on my fit bit snapped months ago and I haven't replaced it. It did tend to keep me motivated lol. Note to self - buy another one PDQ!
However, all was not lost, I got caught up with housework instead and I made some carrot and coriander soup.
I like being in the kitchen preparing food. I find it therapeutic. I cook from scratch most days. The prepping has a calming effect and it's a bit like a time out zone. It concentrates the mind on just the one thing (not cutting one's fingers off mostly) and quietens the mind from the usual constant chatter!
Other than that I also like colouring in and I spent 2 hours today on this mandala. Colouring in is also very therapeutic and I would recommend it to anyone suffering from overload, a very good way to chill if you find meditation difficult.
Photo 1 of Monty was before I started this post
Photo 2 of Monty was as soon as I started typing 🤣
Have a good weekend and hope to see you soon
