A "loveliness" in Shepherds Rest 🐞

As I eat my breakfast after a stunning walk along the river I am taking a moment to reflect on wellbeing and how we can work on it in our daily lives.

One model I really love is the PERMA model, which reminds us that wellbeing is built from small but meaningful pieces:

Positive emotions, noticing joy, gratitude, and hope.
Engagement, doing things that absorb and energise us.
Relationships, feeling connected and supported.
Meaning, knowing that what we do matters.
And accomplishment, celebrating progress, not just perfection!

Then adding to this is how important autonomy is for our wellbeing, whereby having the freedom to make choices, use our voice, and shape our own path can make such a difference to how motivated, confident, and fulfilled we feel. Even small moments of choice can help us feel more in control and more like ourselves.

Wellbeing is not about getting everything right, it is about creating the conditions where we can grow, feel valued, and be human.
Today I am reminding myself (and anyone who needs it) to notice the positives, stay connected, and give yourself permission to choose what supports you best!

Yesterday morning at 6am, wrapped up in the quiet of an early walk with a good friend, we found ourselves talking about relationships, routines, and how easy it is to take the person closest to us for granted.

When you live with your significant other every day, life can start to run on autopilot. We put everyone else first, conversations become about logistics, habits replace curiosity, and before you know it, the person you love most can start to feel more like a housemate than a partner.

I shared how I have been trying a little experiment… a kind of 30-day reset!
Not stepping away from the relationship, but consciously stepping back from the roles we fall into, and viewing my significant other as if indeed we were simply housemates for a while.
Less assumption, more awareness.
Less pressure, more appreciation.

And it is really working.

The irony is that by doing this, we are actually sharing more, noticing more, and laughing together more. The things that sometimes get lost in the busyness of everyday life seem to find their way back when you stop holding on so tightly.

Sometimes stepping back helps you:
✨ Notice the little things you stopped seeing
✨ Bring gratitude back into the everyday
✨ Reduce unnecessary tension and expectations
✨ Rebuild respect for each other’s space
✨ Remember why you chose each other in the first place

When we stop clinging to the roles we think we should play, we often rediscover the connection that was there all along.

Relationships do not always need more effort… sometimes they just need a little breathing room.

I am reminded that love grows stronger not only through closeness, but through awareness, appreciation, and the willingness to see each other with fresh eyes. ⚘️

Love Tasha ⚘️🌿❤️

Today’s life lesson came from a muck heap. Yes, really. 🙃 Here is one crazy lady!! 😎

All winter the rain has been relentless and our poor field is far too soggy for a tractor and muck spreader. The heap, however, is… enthusiastic. Large. Ambitious. Slightly intimidating.

At first glance it felt like one of those jobs you quietly avoid making eye contact with.

So today I made a deal with myself: five wheelbarrow loads. That is it.

Five loads tipped out and raked around by hand. Not glamorous. Not fast. But definitely progress. And here is the thing… if I do five loads every day, that impossible heap will gradually disappear, the field will quietly become more fertile, and something good will grow from a lot of small efforts.

Life and wellbeing is often a bit like that muck heap.

We often look at the whole thing, the big goal, the life change, the project, the healing, the new habit and it feels overwhelming. So we wait for the perfect conditions, the tractor moment… which sometimes never arrives.

But five wheelbarrows?
That we can do.

Five minutes of breathing.
Five pages of a book.
Five stretches.
Five kind thoughts towards yourself.

Small actions done consistently are surprisingly powerful. They quietly transform things.

Also, as it turns out, they build strong arms and a deep appreciation for wheelbarrows.

So if you are facing your own metaphorical muck heap today, remember you do not have to move it all at once.

Just start with five barrow loads! 💪

Ps I have availability on Tuesday 10th March in the afternoon due to a lovely guest being unwell, flexible start time to suit.💆‍♀️🫶 pm to claim it for you!
