Monday views not blues đ
The end of the school holidays is always a bittersweet affair. I read today that we spend 75% of our time with our children before the age of 12. Isnât that crazy?
I spend most of the holidays juggling and maybe never ever being fully present. In a previous life my job role involved me always being one step ahead and I slip back into that way of thinking. Itâs frustrating. I teach mindfulness, being present with breath and body and yet when thereâs more to do, I revert straight back to that old person. Striving for perfection. Feeling guilty because Iâve spent the day gardening rather than playing with the children.
This is not a parenting account, I do not post photos of my family life but I like to remind you all that your yoga teacher is still working on herself. Today will be about resetting. I could clean the house, do the mammoth list of chores. But instead, Iâm getting on my mat. Reconnecting with nature with a walk on the South Downs and a sea swim. All of which I have neglected these last two weeks.
Come and join me for yoga this week; as a community we uplift and cement our place here on this Earth. The next course only runs for 5 weeks before I take 12 beautiful ladies off to Ithaca for our retreat. Life is busy, but make that time for pure reconnection on a weekly basis. If you donât schedule it in, you know full well something else will come along and take that time away from you. Because everything works better after youâve unplugged for a little while.
