💧I often see posts saying, “I need a film that will make me cry.” or “I need a good cry.”

What they really mean is…

I am carrying too much inside.
I need a safe place for my tears.
I need a gentle way for my nervous system to breathe again.

I am full.
Not weak. Just full.

I need somewhere soft for what I have been holding. A quiet permission to let it go.

And sometimes…
a movie doesn’t fix anything.
It simply opens the door
so our feelings can finally leave.💧

Planned a 5km.
Reality said: “Nope. 2km will do.” 😅

Cold, windy, slightly mad… and exactly what my soul needed.

When life feels a bit full, sometimes all we need is breathing space.
Ten quiet minutes can reset the mind, calm the heart, and remind us that we’re still here, still moving, still okay.

Small runs. Big benefits. 🌊

"Paint the day any colour you want to." 🎨

🫟 Purple is my comfort ‘colour’ 🫟

Apparently today is Blue Monday, but in reality that isn’t true; colours don’t care what day it is, and any day can be blue; put the kettle on and paint the day any colour you want to.

It’s when you step out of your comfort zone that you truly discover what you’re capable of.
I set out for a 5k run…
and somehow kept going.

7.5 km later 🤪
Lesson learned: sometimes your limits are far further than your plans.

One step, one breath, one surprise at a time.

Good morning 👋🏽

I am reading a book at the moment, and in Chapter 3 it talks about “therapist and patient as fellow travellers” and the idea that there is “no such thing as a grown-up person.”

That really stayed with me.

Not because we are all on the same path, we are not. We each walk our own.
But because, whether we are a parent or a child, a therapist or a client, a teacher or a seeker, we are all human, learning as we go, meeting uncertainty in different ways.

It gently loosens the idea that some people have life “all figured out” while others are “somehow behind”.

Experience doesn’t make us immune to struggle… it simply means we may have travelled a little further along our own road, or reached a different bend along the way.

There is something quietly relieving in that. It gives permission to be unfinished, to struggle without shame, and to stop pretending we have all the answers when we are hurting.

So if you need the reminder today:

you’re not late.
you’re not falling behind.
you’re simply walking… on your own path.

Got my neon reminder 😉🥰

Here's what I want to work on 'again' this year. I need it in neon letters.😅

"Do what you can with what’s in your control, and let the rest go..."

Anyone else needs to remind themselves of this?☝🏽

People will try to burst your bubble…
but know that your dreams and joy don’t need permission, and that your light can’t be dimmed.🔥

Asking for help can feel heavy.
Accepting it can feel even harder.

But strength isn’t doing everything alone.
Sometimes, it’s allowing yourself to be held... just for a moment.

If you are tired of carrying it all, you don’t have to.
One small reach. One quiet step.
That’s enough. 🌿
