Well I didn't expect this guy to become the centre of attention today!
I was grateful to be invited to lead a wellbeing session with a gorgeous bunch of humans on their team day at Lochhore Meadows (The Meedies 💖)
The weather was good so we decided to take it outside and make a circle on the grass, just by all the resting ducks. 🦆
The ducks were super chill, a few quacks, but left us to it. But this guy 🪿.....mat nibbling, soup stealing, shoe sniffing, the works! At one point he stole my envelope that had my payment in!
I'd just been talking through the nervous system and working with some grounding techniques and he pinched it and flew away!
Luckily I was feeling super chill from the grounding and was able to get it back in a calm and serene fashion! 😜🤣🤣🤣
I think there was a lesson in there somewhere!
We never know what's going to happen in life, the reality is we can't control other people's actions (including seagulls) but we can make a choice how we react, but only when we are in a place of calm & safety. When we are stressed or anxious our body just wants us to be safe so we may not react to situations in the best way. And that is understandable, we need to give ourselves a little grace for that.
But when we can release some of that stress & tension, take a pause, take a breath, we can make better decisions, take better care of ourselves and enjoy life a little more, and see a brighter side 🌿🦋⭐
Thanks Mr Seagull for that lesson today, but I respectfully request you not to do that again.
Boundaries are also important!!! 🤣😜✨🤩
If you are interested in bringing some wellbeing & self care techniques to your team day, just get in touch. Seagulls optional . 😁
