"It's a Tuesday morning, following the long weekend. After an extra day off, I should be feeling refreshed, connected to the self, ready to take on another day.
But I am tired and here is why:
It's being with the kids over the long weekend.
It's having to deal with a sick hospitalized loved one.
It's the financial responsibilities and making sure the numbers make sense.
It's the existential crisis " Why am I doing this? Is this where I really want to be? Am I doing enough?"
It's the self doubt "Am I letting too many of my years go by?"
It's the guilt over self-care: "I need to work harder, I can't afford rest, I will rest when..."
It's the lack of boundaries : "I really shouldn't have said Yes to that."
Does that sound like you? Because this sounds like so many of us. Surviving the days and never really feeling like we are thriving, feeling a break will delay us, pushing ourselves, overextending ourselves, never slowing down or pausing to even recognize how much progress we have made, without worrying about what is next.
And that is what Over A Cup is about, an intentional pause to pour back into our own cups.
To notice ourselves breathe, reflect, release and reconnect with ourselves, because running on empty is not sustainable and nothing is worse than your body forcing you to slow down because it can't take anymore.
So let's meet on the 2nd of May at Irene Cafe, a safe space to connect with like minded people and reconnect with ourselves. To learn new ways of thriving and unlearn old ways of surviving.
