Life is also constantly changing and we are learning, teaching and evolving. ✨
Awareness of what serves us, lifts and supports our wellbeing is often what works best in this crazy life. Being able to let the rest go shows your strength, especially during difficult times….
You’re doing a great job!
You know the path,
You don’t walk it alone… 👣🙏

The effects of burnout are real and detrimental.
~Are we working more than we should?
~Are we giving others too much of our precious energy?
~Are we allowing behaviours, ours & others, to continue unchecked?
~Are we maintaining those important boundaries?
~Are we setting aside enough time for rest, to renew, for replenishment?
~Are we remaining true to ourselves and our needs?

Sadly I’ve answered “No” to these questions of late and suffering the consequences.
The resulting tiredness, loss of drive, physical symptoms, emotional stress and concern for my own mental health suddenly made me realise I need to make changes quickly!
Caring for yourself is the first step and no one is going to come to rescue you.
We cannot do, be, give everything we have….especially when often there is little in return.
Take the time……..
Relax………
Live………. ✨🙏🫧

Sometimes the path that takes us downward is still the path that leads us exactly where we need to go.

Not every journey looks like constant progress upward. Some paths curve, dip, pause, or feel uncertain. Sometimes we find ourselves slowing down, questioning direction, or feeling like we’ve lost momentum. But even those moments can hold purpose.

Along the way, it’s important to stop occasionally. Pause. Reset. Catch your bearings. Ask yourself:
Is this still the direction I want to go?
Does this path still align with what feels right for me?

And if the answer is no, that’s okay too.

You can turn around.
You can choose another path.
You can change direction at any point.

There is no rule that says growth has to happen in a straight line, or that success only comes from climbing higher and higher without rest.

What matters most is that the path is taking you toward something meaningful for you.

While you’re moving through it all, don’t forget to take in the view along the way. Those small pauses, quiet moments, unexpected glimmers of joy, calm, connection, or clarity, they matter more than we often realise.

They’re the moments that fuel us.
The moments that remind us we’re alive.
The moments we miss when we become too focused on just getting somewhere.

So whatever path you’re on right now, trust yourself enough to walk it, pause when you need to, and notice the beauty that exists along the way.

This is my rough sketch of a place of importance recently visited in meditation/journeying….
The gem wall intrigues, as I consider its meaning for me.
Combining self care, relaxation and stress relief by enjoying art, gardening and other creative practices brings joy and unexpected possibilities!
What do you see? 💎🙏🪨🥰

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you" - Anne Lamott

We get it - Life gets noisy, phones buzzing, busy schedules.
A brain that never really switches off.

For a lot of people, the salt room is the first time all week they’ve properly unplugged.

No notifications.
No pressure.
No need to be productive.

Just 45 minutes to sit quietly, breathe deeply and let the body slow down for a while 🌿

Oh… and did we mention one of the most common things people tell us after a salt session?

“I had the best sleep afterwards” 😴

What are you waiting for?

Slow down and rest in winter!
In the natural world plants and animals know and adapt their behaviours each season.
This is the time for slow pastimes, story telling, replenishing tired muscles and self care…..
As the leaves fall, we can also settle, ground ourselves and listen to Mother Earth’s wisdom! 🍁🪾🍂

Winter is coming...
What if we followed winters guidance?
Recede, Rest, Recycle, Remember!!!

Mind those who drain your energy and time…
It’s not selfish, it’s self preservation, care and love.
You and your wellbeing are worth protecting.

Some of my recent reads! (on top shelf)
We have incredible resources available on the topic of death and how we manage it as evolving humans. I find them all and devour the knowledge!
Happily we are beginning to understand the old ways are better for us, for the ones dying and the environment.
By educating ourselves, we learn the care and support for loved ones as life ends, is an ancient skill; hidden for a long time, but not lost…… 🥰📚🙏
