You have spent far too many years neglecting your

You have spent far too many years neglecting your needs for the ‘greater good’ of children, partner, work, heck even the gym to get the body you want the world to see (I used to go spinning at 5am, 3 times a week, looked amazing and then drank a bottle of wine a night…….I know)⁣
⁣
You had no time for you. No time to check in with you, to ask yourself, with gentle love what YOU needed, and in that innocent self-neglect, you learnt to rely on wine.⁣
⁣
And maybe right now, you are, if not drinking more, definitely caught up in your alcohol struggle more. Why is that?⁣
⁣
Because of your innocent neglect of you. ⁣
⁣
You have put so much pressure on being the perfect whatever to whoever, a perfect that doesn’t’ exist, and your loves don’t want from you, (they only want you to be happy), that has exhausted you, and so, again, you continue to drink.⁣
⁣
You are living differently now, in a time when there is no rushing to children’s clubs, school events, business meetings, networking meetings etc, that take time to travel to, navigating the traffic, finding the parking spot and all the rest.⁣
⁣
NOW can be, in the midst of this uncertainty and chaos, a magical time, a gift, if you choose to view it that way.⁣
⁣
NOW may well be the only time in life where you have to slow down, to pause, to take your foot of the pedal of your life and in doing so, to look within at who you are (completely amazing) and what you need (YOU).⁣
⁣
And if you take this enforced time to do just that, you will emerge, post pandemic the powerful woman you were born to be, who you always were, resilient and able, peaceful and free, that will overcome any and all of the economic/social recovery situations that may present themselves, with grace and ease.⁣
⁣
NOW is your time, how will you use it?⁣
⁣
Here’s a lovely tip to support you through this turmoil - Take a few minutes out, regularly during your day to PAUSE & then with long, slow deep breathes, breathe out Anxiety, and breathe in, literally inhale, Peace – and only then move forward. ⁣

⁣ ⁣ Remember when Instagram was full of bikini

⁣
⁣
Remember when Instagram was full of bikini bods (not mine obviously), exotic holidays, beautiful clothes, first class flight? Wow, and that was less then 10 days ago!⁣
⁣
Now we see paintings, cups of coffee, kind memes, nature, family time.⁣
⁣
The world is shifting, ‘stuff’ doesn’t seem so important – still lovely of course, but ‘stuff’ isn’t health, wellbeing, connection or love. ⁣
⁣
Life is all of those and from what I can see, there is so much more of a celebration of life.⁣
⁣
Stay Safe xx

A little bit of light relief 🤣⁣
⁣
When you can’t ‘Go Out’, ‘Go In’ - inside You ❤️ ⁣
⁣
Take a loving look at round at your inner world.⁣
⁣
What do you see, think & feel?⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
If what you find brings you joy & peace, amplify it ❤️ ⁣
⁣
If what you find causes you pain, know it does not belong in you, is not part of you & Let It Go⁣
⁣
Any part of you that feels bad is NOT YOU, no matter who or what anyone may think. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Be kind & gentle with yourself & keep safe ⁣

⁣Good morning! ❤️
⁣
This is in my very small garden, with no filter ❤️ ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Raising my eyes slightly, I see the growth & beauty of the Universe. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Looking down, I see scruffy, muddy grass & dog poo 💩 😂⁣
⁣
It’s all about #perspective.⁣
⁣
Where do you choose to look in life, right now?⁣
⁣
Be kind & gentle with yourself ⁣🥰

⁣
I make these Wellness Walks really count for all of us, & they benefit me hugely both physically & emotionally⁣
⁣
There is enormous uncertainty in life right now, with many anxieties & fears swirling around, us, then in the midst of it all, there are moments, like this, of calm & wonder, when you look for them.⁣
⁣
Look for what brings you joy, focus on them & be very kind & gentle with yourself ❤️⁣

⁣
Make every precious day count ❤️ ⁣
⁣
Life, and this world are beautiful, and now you have time to stop and breathe and really appreciate everything and everyone you have.⁣
⁣
'Stuff' doesn't matter, you don't need 'stuff' ⁣
⁣
To thrive during these greyer times you need the gifts of life that have always been available to you and cost nothing. ⁣
⁣
You need wellbeing, love, comfort, support and so much more. ⁣
⁣
With those in place, there is no need to drown yourself alcohol to cope. ⁣
⁣
You were born resilient and strong, and leaning on alcohol just takes you further from who you are and what you need. ⁣
⁣
Eat well, rest well, stay connected with your loves and yourself.⁣
⁣
Create treats for yourself that nourish your body and soul and be very kind and gentle with yourself.⁣

Not a plane in sight, not a car to be heard. Just birdsong & the wind ❤️❤️ In all the confusion, upheaval & fear, our innocent planet is taking a huge sigh of relief, as it’s given an opportunity to heal itself ❤️ #silverlinings #keepsafe

Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mummies out there.⁣
⁣
In these strange and shifting times, you may not see your loves today, you may not feel their arms around you, or their kisses on your cheek, but know that even though that may be your physical reality, in the truest place of love of you for them, and them for you, those arms, unseen though they may be, are holding you tight from the only place that really matters, from the heart.⁣
⁣
I hope that brings you a comfort that you can lean into and cherish today, and every day.⁣
⁣
All this will pass, so please be safe, be well and know that you are deeply loved. ⁣
⁣
Love & respect
