Love this poem by my favourite poet Becky Hemsley Poetry 🩷
How to avoid burnout, breathe, rest if you need to and balance 🌳

Striking a match too hard won’t light it.
In fact, it might break it.
And then there will be no light.

Piling too much on a fire won’t keep it lit.
In fact, it might suffocate it.
And then there will be no fire.

Burning a candle constantly won’t keep it burning.
In fact, it will exhaust it.
And then there will be no flame.

Sometimes gently is better.
Sometimes little by little is needed.
Sometimes rest is necessary.

Sometimes gentleness gives us light
and space to breathe.

Sometimes gentleness allows us to come back to life again when we weren’t even sure if we still had that fire in us.

So don’t be too hard on yourself.
Don’t pile on the pressure.
Don’t burn yourself out.

Because your flame can’t stay alive like that.

Love this 🩷 the gift of time 🩷

If someone gives you a handmade gift this Christmas,
or a voucher for their babysitting or gardening,
or offers to cook you a meal one evening as their present to you…

don’t turn your nose up,
and don’t turn them down.

Because they are giving you one of the most precious commodities they have; time.

We cannot make more time and we cannot get it back once we’ve used it. So when someone chooses to spend their time on you, they are saying

“I am giving you a part of my life that I cannot get back”.

And surely that should be celebrated and treasured.

Because the true cost of anything is not in the money but in the moments of life we exchange it for.

So if someone is giving us moments of their life,
we shouldn’t feel put out.

We should feel incredibly,
immensely
privileged.

So today is a special day, it's my mums birthday...

She's that person who is always there no matter what...she's always encouraged me to follow my heart 🩷

To think out of the box, to try new things, to see things from every point of view, (even though this can be really frustrating at times) to be me and not try to be someone else 🩷

She's been there at pretty much every event I've run...my mum and her friends were my original Qigong buddies ...they showed up every week to help me to get my teaching hours complete ...and we had so much fun 🩷

She's always there no matter what, I love this picture of us both 🩷 a few months ago I hit a bit of a low point...my energy was drained...I felt lost....I needed a boost I went to see mum sing...and ended up joining the gospel choir myself....considering I'm partially deaf ...this was a massive thing for me but one of the best things I've ever done 🩷 this is us at the metropolitan cathedral in Liverpool singing...a special moment that will live with me forever 🩷

Mum.thanks for being you 🩷 love you 🩷 not just today every day 🩷 hope you have the best birthday because you deserve it 🩷xx

Just ❤️ this 🌲

She sat at the back and they said she was
shy
She led from the front and they hated her
pride
They asked her advice and then questioned her
guidance
They branded her loud then were shocked by her
silence

When she shared no ambition, they said it was
sad
So she told them her dreams and they said she was
mad
They told her they'd listen then covered their
ears
And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her
fears

And she listened to all of it, thinking she
should
Be the girl they told her to be, best as she
could
But one day she asked what was best for
herself
Instead of trying to please everyone
else

So she walked to the forest and stood with the
trees
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the
leaves
And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the
pine
And she told them what she'd been told, time after
time

She told them she felt she was never enough
She was either too little or far, far too much
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek

Then she found a small clearing, surrounded by
firs
And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to
her
And she sat there for hours not wanting to
leave
For the forest said nothing, it just let her

breathe

🌿So people often ask what is qigong ?
Qi means energy and gong means to work with (the energy)

🌿I often tell people it is like tai chi, but on the spot ...tai chi came from qi (or could be written chi) gong ...tai chi is a martial application that can be used for health and well being.

🌿there are lots of reported health and well-being benefits associated with both tai chi and qigong

🌿but for me qigong is so much more, it's the realisation that we are not separate from nature we are an integral part of it, we depend on nature as it depends on us we are a partnership

🌿here I am with the most amazing group of people, doing qigong under the most amazing tree 🌳

🌿in this photograph, it almost looks as if the tree is wrapping itself around us, and in coming together as a community, we generate energy in its presence and a sense of love and mutual respect 💚

🌿I can honestly say it was a magical experience. My heart felt filled with so much love I had to pause to catch my breath

🌿we are surrounded by magic,sometimes, we just need to take a pause to realise it 💚

🌿Happy Thursday everyone 💚
