Oh May.. the Sun creeps out more, our gardens are brightening, long Bank holiday weekends, days are getting longer and your Social media is filled with “happy” people and families..
If you’re grieving, feel lost, alone,
misunderstood and unheard these long days can be all consuming -
There are plenty of wellbeing experts,
Friends and literacy full of advice on how you need to look on the bright side, just try a little bit more and that it’s time you took some steps forward.
Seriously, that’s not easy.
Grief takes up a huge % of your brain space, making it ridiculously difficult to function and tackle daily tasks that we used to achieve so easily prior to our loss..
Ahead of our Wellbeing workshop this week, I wanted to share an image I will be talking about, and that is our Energy, that little bit that we are running on, where is it going? Where could it be going? What is draining our battery? And what small things can we do to help boost that battery back up, and some of those small things, can be as simple as making your bed in the morning / something you would do religiously before, but these days you seem to crawl out and crawl back in as you left it, that’s ok, that’s you managing and coping.. but that feeling, that little boost you will feel seeing it freshly made again - and especially when you go to bed that night, will make you feel a little better.
You don’t have to be able to do what you used to easily manage, and not managing doesn’t mean you’re failing.
Concentrate on what charges your battery, and notice what or who drains it, see where you can make changes xx
