Empty nest syndrome can bring unexpected feelings of loss and change. This article explores how parents can adjust, reconnect, and find a new sense of purpose as children grow up and leave home.

It’s half term for me so instead of filling my usual school days with lots of jobs I am taking a break .
Taking a break can be different for everyone , for me it was a sleep in ,a gorgeous walk in the sunshine on a Monday morning , late brekkie and I’m not sure what for the rest of the day .

It’s often hard to find time or we think we don’t deserve it but it’s ok to rest and recharge . Our cars can’t run without petrol or electricity and neither can we .
What’s your favourite thing to do to recharge your battery ? Have a great day x

Giving yourself permission to really feel what’s going on for you can take courage and time . I hear it from clients all the time that taking that first step was the hardest and also not wanting to burden friends and family . You could start by writing down your feelings and see what happens.

Dip your toe into the feelings pond and see how far the ripples go ❤️

As one year ends and another begins there can be that urge for new beginnings. Resolutions are made and we can put unrealistic pressure on ourselves . If you do like making changes for yourself could it be setting an intention rather than a resolution ?
