I want this for you too! So make some time for you and here are:ħ Potent Questions For You to Ponder or Journal around: When I relax and do nothing – or do something creative – my brain stills and I get these bursts of insight that help me see what I need to be happy. This “breather” time has also cemented the idea of taking a leap and employing someone to help me run my business/es – I want to get off the hamster wheel! I’m feeling more confident – and bursting with ideas too – it’s exhilarating! I feel happier, more relaxed and connected to myself and I’m rethinking my working (and waking!) schedule for September and beyond. Of course it wasn’t enough – August has gone by in a flash – and I am craving more (in a good way). This included time in my garden, going hiking and taking a week-long painting course. In the extra “life” hours I gained, I made time and space for two things 1) Reading/doing nothing and 2) Creativity – playing my piano, writing and making yummy recipes with homegrown produce. I got up early (6am) and finished at either 1pm or 3pm. So in August I decided to work shorter hours – and give myself a “breather” from my self-created hamster wheel. ![]() For me to thrive I need mental space – taking things more slowly, letting go of “shoulds” and “musts” and recognizing that there will always be more to do than time allows. Recently in a coaching session with my coach Mary Johnson we talked about listening to our inner wisdom, and honouring and giving our self space and permission to do what it needs to thrive. And it’s all too easy for us to get stuck in that rut because we lack the energy or perspective to make the necessary changes. The cost of not paying ourselves the attention we deserve is that we feel permanently tired, grumpy with those we care about, overwhelmed and stressed out. And we’re so busy on the “hamster wheel” of life that we can’t see it. ![]() We don’t realise that what we need, think – and feel – really matters. I think for many of us, we simply don’t value, respect or esteem our “self” enough. We may make a priority of taking care of others and/or our careers, but not our own selves. We all lead such busy lives – and all too often we simply don’t take enough care of our ‘selves’.
