How often do you hold space for yourself? And I mean truly hold space for you, do things that are specifically for you and nobody else?
How often do you wish for different things in life but aren’t willing to make the changes? Being resistant to do what’s needed?
How often do you feel completely overwhelmed with life, constant needs having to be met, days can drift into one, leaving you feeling quite heavy?
Times like this it is paramount to look after us. Surround yourself with things you love, allow yourself to rest when needed but equally in times when you can push out of your comfort zone - do it.
I’ve been in a limbo myself over the last number of months, worry, time of the year, stress, overwhelm - you get my drift. It’s at times like this I know hat I personally need to do, allow rest when my body and mind need it but also to keep taking steps forward where I can.
It’s not a secret that I’ve battled with my own mental health, something I was always told never to speak about - but I do because I hope that it can help someone somewhere. I speak to my clients ALL the time about having a tool box to help through the good times, the average times and the hard times. You’ll need different things to help at various times.
Do you have your own toolbox you can go to when you need it? My own ranges from easy and simple rituals I can do to celebratory things that I feel comfortable doing, to books I love to read, my favourite films I can watch and music to listen to, all of these things can help me when I need it.
I made a massive decision this year, something I was incredibly terrified about, thankfully I really do have some blooming amazing people around me that I was able to discuss, look at pros and cons with before I jumped feet first into it.
See I’ve not fully put myself out there for a long time, afraid to be seen, afraid of who would and wouldn’t support me, what if I failed? But you know what - if I don’t try how will I ever know? Do you push yourself to do more than your limiting beliefs will let you?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments, it’s something that’s of real interest to me.
