Go outside and play or wander or marvel

As a mother and occupational therapist, Hazel Cottle knows how important it is for both her kids and her patients to spend time outdoors. It sparks joy, brings people together and improves lives. Yet in the UK, a country where it rains a lot, it can be tempting to stay warm and dry inside the house....

You don’t have to raise your voice to speak your truth.
But you do have to stop burying it.

Because when you silence yourself to keep the peace, you’re not diffusing the conflict— you’re just relocating it...
Into your body.
Into your bones.
Into your nervous system.

And that kind of peace?
It’s a slow unraveling.

You deserve a life where your truth doesn’t cost you your stability. Where your needs don’t feel like too much.
Where your presence doesn’t come at the expense of your voice.

Stop internalizing the chaos.
Stop pretending the silence is sacred— it’s not.
Maybe it's just your brand of survival.

I hope that one day you allow yourself to understand that your silence was never really safe.
Speak up, it's okay to start in a whisper.
꩜🕊️♥︎ Ella

"To be hopeful means to be uncertain about the future, to be tender toward possibilities, to be dedicated to change all the way down to the bottom of your heart." –Rebecca Solnit

The repetitive action patterns found in ritual function as cognitive gadgets that help us cope with stress.

We might call them superstitions or spells, but they genuinely drum anxiety away.
