Hello Dear One,
Here I am in your inbox, how marvellous.
On Friday I found out my sister nominated me as a Happy Place Hero, something I didn’t even attempt to stay calm about. If you found the letter through it, welcome. If you’ve been here for a while settle in. Each week I offer a theme and prompts to explore it; designed to take 15-30 minutes. If this week doesn’t resonate go to the archives – I’ve written on everything from self-compassion to anger to abundance.
This January I’m caught on a wave. Despite promising myself I won’t oversubscribe myself as I’m not trying to be ‘new’ or ‘better’ so many amazing teachers offered brilliant things that I’m doing challenges in meditation, manifesting and two in yoga. Then I was offered a gym pass and – of course – want to go to the pool. I’ve been wildly unrealistic only eleven days in. And that's ok.
We can be enthusiastic about things and still realise the timing isn’t right, pull back and prioritise ourselves. Yes, even if we feel it might disappoint others. This week is an invitation to recognise what's right for now and ground in what feels good.
As always, tweak the prompts if you’d like - perhaps you’ve scheduled too many social events or projects at work, or maybe you aren’t doing much at all but the feeling that you ‘should’ be is draining. Be compassionate with yourself.
Beliefs that came up for me were ‘this will never happen again’ and ‘I have to take advantage of these things now’ – both fear-based and untrue. Once I had them on the page I could clear them, where the magic is.
Thanks for being here and being you,
All love,
Jo
