I had this printed on the wall in one of my counselling rooms a few years ago. Sometimes, a client and I would sit in silence or talk about the small things, simply because all the heavy things were too hard to order or say out loud and define.
Thats ok too.
But when they were ready, saying those things, sharing those thoughts and ordering the level of concern or weight the client had put behind it -lightened the load.
Processing what has happened is one of many ways to heal hurt, work towards acceptance and redefine your core values and strengths.

Sometimes life moves too fast, the to-do list is unending and the pressure we feel is overwhelming. Motivation is a step too far away.
Or the situation we are going through has taken all our resources and we have nothing.

That's ok. It's ok to go slow. To pause. Survive. And prioritise sleep, self care or smaller tasks.

Fill your cup.

Progress isn't immediate, it's taking those small steps towards acceptance and then over time looking back on all you have learnt and achieved.
Be patient with yourself 💙

Practicing mindfulness for me is noticing my surroundings as I rush from work to home to appointments.
It’s noticing the sky, colourful graffiti, letting my mind wander and wonder.
Finding joy, my breath and the moment.

It's good to have a couple of grounding techniques that are simple and effective for your day.🌿
