Meditation isn’t about fixing or forcing anything. It’s about looking. When we pause and really notice, we often see things we’ve been too overwhelmed or busy to catch.⠀
⠀
Strong emotions like anger or pain can narrow our focus. Everything starts to feel tight, urgent, all-consuming. But maybe we don’t have to stay locked in like that.⠀
⠀
One simple antidote? Interest.⠀
Getting curious about what we’re feeling has a very different energy than trying to push it away. Curiosity creates space. Resistance usually creates more pain.⠀
⠀
When we loosen that grip — even a little — the experience can shift.⠀
⠀
So why not try a different relationship with what’s here?⠀
One that allows a bit more room, a bit more choice…⠀
and helps us keep going.⠀

This week in running 🏃‍♀️⠀
⠀
• 4 recovery runs⠀
• 1 hill workout⠀
• 1 long run (10km)⠀
⠀
School holidays meant two of those recovery runs happened on the treadmill. Not my favourite… but thanks to , the view makes it a little more bearable. Watching the sun come up and the birds come and go feels like a moving picture 🎞️⠀
⠀
It also turned into a good chance to practice (aka force myself into) progression runs — every recovery run finished faster than it started.⠀
⠀
I also squeezed in a very needed massage with my guru massage lady. Regular massages are important keeping my body moving smoothly these days (and also helping with migraines). Kids in tow and all 😅⠀
⠀
A week of adapting, and taking care of the body ❤️⠀

Letter to my past self:⠀
⠀
You don’t have to earn rest.⠀
You’re not lazy — you’re tired from carrying a lot for a long time.⠀
Let that be enough reason to pause and breathe.⠀

Each of these tools helps in its own way, but together they remind you:⠀
you don’t need to fix your emotions — you just need to be with them.⠀

This week in running 🏃‍♀️⠀
⠀
Week one of official training for the Ballarat Marathon, with about 16 weeks to go.⠀
⠀
The aim is simple: improve on my Gold Coast Marathon time. The bigger, stretch goal is sub-4 hours — and that’s the pace I’ll be working around in training.⠀
⠀
I’ve actually never really trained for pace over the full marathon distance before. My first marathon was all about just getting through the distance. And at the Gold Coast Marathon, I went in with aggravated feet, which meant my pace per kilometre ended up quite a bit slower than what I’d been training at.⠀
⠀
This week kicked off in Marion Bay with tight calves and three days of migraines, so kilometres were kept pretty low and the focus was just on moving and listening to my body.⠀
⠀
This week looked like:⠀
• a couple of easy recovery runs⠀
• a fartlek⠀
• a long run⠀
• Parkrun with the family⠀
• ended the week with kms and chats with my running bestie 🫶 (I didn’t take a photo so this we from the archives)⠀
⠀
Strength was weighted Pilates, plus lots of yoga and stretching.⠀
⠀
Finished the week feeling a lot better and genuinely ready for what’s next. One week down 🤍

You don’t need to become someone new this year.⠀
⠀
You just need to stop doubting the person you already are becoming.⠀

If rest feels hard, it’s not because you’re lazy.⠀
It’s because your nervous system needs help feeling safe in stillness 🤍⠀
