✨ “So… what will you do now?”
When I was slowly piecing myself back together after a really hard time, people would ask me this over and over again.
It always came from a good place — love, curiosity, support.
But every time I heard it, I felt that familiar knot in my stomach…
Because what if the real answer was: “Nothing — for now.”
What if the bravest, healthiest, wisest thing you can do after a big life moment is… not much at all?
🌿 Somewhere along the way, we were taught that our value comes from what we do. The job, the busy calendar, the productivity, the constant “next thing.”
But what if our worth has nothing to do with doing — and everything to do with being?
Resting is doing.
Healing is doing.
Listening inwards is doing.
Learning who you really are — beyond the roles and labels — is doing.
✨ These days, when someone asks me what I’m doing, I remind myself:
I am resting.
I am healing.
I am choosing to be, rather than endlessly perform.
And in that space of not-doing, I found the version of me that feels the most true.
So if you’ve been feeling that pressure to always be busy, or to have an impressive answer when someone asks what you’re “doing next”… here’s your permission slip to just be. That’s more than enough. 🌼
💛 If you’d love support with slowing down, listening to yourself and reconnecting with what really matters, you’re always welcome in my safe space — whether that’s a gentle group, a one-to-one, or a mindful online chat.
✨ There is so much magic in doing less.
