Sometimes we have to admit when weāre wrong about something or when weāre struggling.
I was wrong about ignoring what I thought was just cold symptoms (turns out it was a nasty sinus & ear infection that all the lemsip in the world wouldnāt solve š¬) and I was also struggling to keep up with my all of my commitments as a result of that.
It seems so obvious to me now because I say it to my clients all the timeā¦ you canāt pour form an empty cup!! But when youāre the one so used to doing all the pouring itās so easy to brush off how youāre feeling so that you donāt let anyone down.
Thatās a catch 22 because ultimately I did end up letting clients down which is something I hate to do! And whilst I was feeling sorry for myself on the couch binge watching the summer I turned pretty with the dog in my lap, it really hit me how Iād taken my energy and health for granted. Im laughing a bit to myself as I write this that i genuinely thought Iād be able to hold sound baths with an ear infection šš what was I thinking?? (P.s thank you to the gorgeous Laura for providing cover)
So to anyone reading this (fellow practitioners and self employed people especially!!) use me as your warning šš donāt over do it! Youāre worth rest, youāre worth letting go of some commitments if it means youāre taking the pressure of yourself and youāre precious!
This whole experience has come at a good time now that I think about it because I had the next few weeks carved out for a family holiday. Iām lucky that Iāve managed to gain my sense of taste back before itš
So Iām taking a proper break (I might post some bits here and there) but Iām going to switch off and use this time to recharge so that Iām ready to hold space again when Iām back
If you made it this far thank you for reading and thank you to everyoneās lovely messages when I was in the thick of it ā¤ļø
See you all soon
