Monday reflections…
Mondays are usually my slower days.
I rest my body, don’t do massage treatments or workshops, and instead focus on my businesses, plan for the week ahead, and revisit my goals.
But most importantly…
It gives me the headspace to breathe.
To reflect on what’s been going well — in business, in life — and to later show up as a better version of myself for the people I love 💛
It also gives me the space to meet and connect with friends over a coffee- and that kind of quality time (one of my love languages) is just priceless to me.
The rest of the week can be very physically demanding — between running a hands-on wellness business and being a mum to an almost 4-year-old, life can feel full on. That’s why this space on a Monday isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
The truth is… I didn’t always give myself that space.
I used to feel guilty resting, like I should be doing more.
And I see this in so many of my clients — especially mums and mums-to-be — burning out from always caregiving, always planning, always doing.
It took time, but I’ve learned (and I’m still learning) how to give myself permission to rest.
I was just saying to a new friend today —
You don’t need to do it all alone.
There are so many wonderful communities out there — if you look around, you’ll find them.
And if you’re unsure where to start, I’m always happy to help connect you 🫶
Support is out there.
And here’s the truth:
It’s not always about saying yes to everything.
Sometimes, the real shift happens when you start kindly saying no — so you can make space for the right things!
That’s been a game-changer for me.
So this is your reminder:
Whatever wellness and self-care means to you, I hope you take that time to just BE.
Maybe it’s finishing your cuppa in peace ☕
Going to bed earlier 🛏
Or simply setting a boundary that honours you
You deserve that time — not just for you, but so you can later show up more fully for the people you love 🤍
I see you. I hear you. And you’re not alone.
❤️
