Pausing for a moment (+ an update about my newsletters)

Why I am pausing and why Sundays are a good day.

Do you know the feeling of wanting to do something, but your energy isn’t there? I usually push on, I go, I feel dreadful, but I persist. Absolutely unknowing of the consequences. I am so very good at having high expectations for myself.

Then, life happens on top of that - loss, work, covid-19. The small things start to build up. Tiredness sets in your body and you start getting irritated at small things. Concentration slowly starts to deteriorate. You feel paralysed at the smallest task. Normal things feel too much.

So, I am pausing.

I am removing everything where I have expectations towards myself. This means pausing things like writing my book, finding my way back to intuitive eating, strength training, working less, and so on. Just for some months.

Instead, I am focusing on writing what is in my heart, therapy and understanding my feelings, doing yoga when I feel like it at home, watercolouring or crocheting when I need to create.

I am focusing on what feels good to my body and mind. Unwrapping my heart and showing it love and understanding. Moving my body, to what feels right, not to gain strength, but to feel balanced, well and energised.

I am pausing to find new ways to live better, in the intuitive empath that I am. I need to listen to that voice that says ‘this feels right’.

And, sundays are a good day.

When imagine sundays, I see a steamy cup of tea, a blanket, a slow morning, maybe a walk in the cold or checking how all the terrace plants. And I imagine that a *pling* coming in around 10am, with a musing could complement that.

So, even though I am pausing, I will write to you every sunday. That is a promise I am happy to keep.

Also, thank you…

…for being here and your support. It means more than you probably know. Have a peaceful sunday. ♥
