Down to Earth Naturopathy

A little reminder for anyone who feels like they are wading through mud right now..

Don't forget that there are a lot of baby steps between where you are right now and where you want to be - and that is ok!

Sometimes it feels like you are flying through life, leaping over hurdles with the wind at your back and other times, it feels like you are wading through thick, sticky mud.

In the muddy times, don't just stand there struggling.

Slow down, take a deep breath and work out what the next step is.

It doesn't matter if it's small, just make sure it is forwards. If you keep that going, you'll eventually get where you want to go.

But it you stay stuck, or shuffle sideways, or even worse, start sliding backwards - well, you really aren't going to get anywhere are you?

So small steps or leaps and bounds - it doesn't matter, just keep moving forwards.

And it you need help unsticking yourself from the mud, don't be afraid to ask for help 🥰

You've got this 🙌
I believe in you 🥰

These guys are in hanging pots, next to each other on the end of our clothesline. They get full sun for most of the morning. My partner found some old fertiliser in the back of the shed and decided to see if still 'worked'. He gave it to the smaller plant...

Goes to show what a few nutrients and a bit of water can do 😉😆
