I recommend this to any of my clients. Not listening to yourself is the first step to needing musculoskeletal help
We Place Such High Value On Being Busy.
💪 On doing.
💪 On achieving.
💪 On keeping up.
💪 On the next thing.
Quite frankly, it’s exhausting.
But also, it isn’t good for us.
There is a time for busy – when we are energised – and there is a time for slowing down – when we need to recharge.
We are not meant to be full on all the time. Like all other living organisms, there are cycles to our productivity.
However we are the only ones that resist it.
☹️ We worry what other people will think.
☹️ We attach stories to what it means if we do slow down.
☹️ We ignore the signals from our body.
I know it can be hard to listen to those signals, to take time out when there is so much to do and so many pressures and items on our to do list.
BUT…there are so many benefits for not just us, but those around us, if we do gift ourselves that time.
🍂 Slowing down affords us the opportunity to reflect and gain perspective. In the rush to accomplish tasks, we often lose sight of the bigger picture. By intentionally slowing down, we create space for introspection and evaluation.
🍂 Slowing down promotes balance and self-care. In our pursuit to keep going, we may neglect our well-being, pushing ourselves to the brink of burnout. By intentionally slowing down, we give ourselves permission to rest, recharge, and nurture our physical, mental, and emotional health.
🍂 Slowing down can lead to enhanced creativity and innovation. When we're constantly rushing from one task to another, our minds are consumed by the immediate demands at hand. By deliberately slowing down, we create a space for ideas to incubate and flourish.
If you crave to slow down, refocus, or in fact crave anything but simply won’t allow yourself to ‘have/do’ it, then come and join my workshop ‘I Gift Myself Permission’ – to not only learn HOW to allow yourself, but to understand yourself and listen to your body so that you can CONTINUE to say yes to the things that will serve you best in the future.
