Peace & Quiet. I had so much peace & quiet in the best way this weekend + wanted to share this experience with you.
I had the weekend to myself for the first in a long time. I usually would fill it up with endless plans and then get to Sunday and realize I was more exhausted, more disconnected, and less grounded.
Since I have a lot of busy weekends coming up… I decided to lean into some peace & quiet, some solitude, some time committing to the things that ground me and bring me joy. I have a tendency to over commit or extend myself and I am working on unlearning this habit. It was not perfectly easy. I leaned on a couple friends who supported me along the way.
Some weekend highlights were with + acupuncture with my fav chinese medicine doctor + walks and matcha dates with lucy + reformer with + early bed times, journaling, cooking, and crossing things off my to do list.
As I am a few weeks away from my 29th birthday, I am just full of gratitude for all I continue to learn, for my healing journey, and for the growing ability to commit even harder to myself and the things that bring me the most joy as I get older.
It’s kinda amazing how as we get older, we start to care less about what other people think or what they are doing and we are able to lean into what we need more and more.
When I was in my early 20’s, I would have totally had the thought that “I was such a loser for not having plans” or I would have totally had fomo or felt like I should have been social. I did not feel any of these things this weekend. I did see some friends at workouts, and will for a hike later today. These are social things that worked into my joy, for my plans for peace & quiet this weekend.
Feeling grounded is something I am really grateful for today. Every weekend cannot look like this but weekends like this (for me and likely for you) make me so much more capable to show up in all aspects of my life, in my relationships, at work with my clients, socially with all my amazing friends, and most importantly for myself.
Wishing you some peace & quiet wherever you can find it. Xoxo
