Hello March, you are very, very welcome 🙏

Thought for the day (to blow your mind…)
“You are comprised of 84 minerals, 23 Elements, and 8 gallons of water spread across 38 trillion cells.

You have been built up from nothing by the spare parts of the Earth you have consumed, according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix and small enough to be carried by a s***m. You are recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf fur, and shark teeth, broken down to their smallest parts and rebuilt into our planet’s most complex living thing.

You are not living on Earth. You are Earth."

——-

You are incredible just as you are!!!!!

A child needs to know certain behaviour isn’t acceptable, BUT no matter what choices they make we still love them in all of their imperfection.

We have to remember that the sometimes asking for “easy” in the short-term is not beneficial in the long-term.

TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...

To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.

It’s really pretty simple.

Sleep plays an important role in our mental health. Generally, people get between 5 to 9 hours sleep a night. The ideal amount is 8 hours, though everyone's different! I was recently asked by the community group We Are Athleague to record a Zoom interview about the importance of sleep to our mental and physical wellbeing with some tips on how to get a good night's sleep! 😴
