LOVE IN THE LITTLE THINGS ♡

I am currently sat on the sofa eating marmite on toast, and drinking tea out of my favourite mug. My dog has joined me, snuggled up ready to snaffle up any crumbs that might fall.
I have just got back from the morning school run, which I did in the car wearing un-matching pjs (which just about pass as ‘lounge wear’), fluffy socks and pink crocs. I drove home in silence-no radio, no bluetooth calls to anyone.

None of this is fancy, but it is purposeful. I have paid attention.

In my quest to be a responsible grown up(!!), I am tuning in more and more to the small things I can do to take care of myself and calm my nervous system.
Mini moments of rest.
Little acts of love.

💛🖤 Marmite on toast. Comfort food.

☕️ Tea in my favourite mug that my sister bought me. Reminds me I am loved.

🧦 My clothes are loose and soft on my skin. My body feels cosy and hugged.

🐶 My dog gives good cuddles, we are enjoying each other’s affection.

🙉 I enjoy chatting on the phone to those I love. But this morning I noticed I just needed quiet.

I love to love others.
I love to be loved by others.

This morning, amongst the busyness of my life, in this small window of time, I have loved myself through food, warmth, comfort and silence.

I have shown myself love in these simple, unfancy, little things .

🖤🖤🖤

I am in complete awe of the clients who bring themselves to therapy sessions.

Feeling emotionally naked, vulnerable, wobbly, unsure if they are worthy of therapy, with the stuffing kicked out of them- these incredible humans taking action to improve their lives, despite the wrong that is or has been done to them.

It will never get old for me. I will never not be bowled over by the bravery I witness daily.

Social media will swamp you with all that is wrong in this world, but I see, in the privacy of the therapy room, all that is right- all that is beautiful and courageous- in the faces of my clients.

Always in awe 🖤

Y o u ‘ r e N o t B r o k e n . . .

There is something about us humans- we often have more understanding, acceptance and compassion for animals, plants and objects than we do for ourselves or each other.

Some examples…

🪫~ When a car isn’t topped up with fuel or a phone isn’t charged, we understand why these cannot function. We do not expect them to perform on ‘empty’.

🏋 ~ When a shelf collapses under too much weight, we don’t look at the shelf as faulty, we understand it was overloaded.

🐕 ~ When a rescue dog displays wonky behaviours, we don’t judge it, we understand that this is what happens as a result of mistreatment or neglect.

🌵~ When a plant isn’t given the right conditions, we expect it to wilt. We wouldn’t expect a cactus to thrive in a rainforest, or mushrooms to grow in a desert.

🚤 ~ When a boat is battered in a storm, we don’t blame the boat.

📖 ~ When pages of a book are missing we understand why the story doesn’t make sense.

🌧️ ~ When a river is fed by relentless rain, we’re not shocked when it overflows.

⚠️ ~ When any machine is run non-stop without care or maintenance, we’re not surprised when it breaks down.

And yet there are huge numbers of humans living with anxiety, confusion, depression, and overwhelm, genuinely believing deep down that they are somehow broken. The question swirling and on replay- ‘what is wrong with me?’

But if we dig a little deeper and take a look at our environments, the circumstances that surround us or the experiences we have endured, we’d see the truth 👀.

We are not broken, we are responding (exactly as anything else would) to the conditions we have been given.
