This is beautiful Emma and I look forward to watching the recording. Yes! You absolutely speak to the overwhelm and rush I feel when I have time to myself. I went on a yoga retreat this weekend which was my first time away from my children and sometimes found myself rushing conversations with friends as this is what happens either when I am with my children and trying to conduct a conversation, or if I’m not with them and trying to fit everything into a small stretch of time. Anyway, I have to remind myself that ‘there is time’ and I’m so glad I went on the retreat, it was a pocket of magic to be looked after and not to have to think of anything myself for a day or two! xx
Oh, I am very jealous of your retreat and I love you took that time for yourself! There is such a pressure to rush because we rush and cut ourselves short with children because they are doing it to us all day long. We can give ourselves more space and time when we have our own attention.
I know Emma, I am so grateful but I didn’t find it easy to take the leap. I’m glad I had a friend that masterminded the plan and encouraged me along the way! You are so right, our children demand a lot of us constantly. I feel that there is somewhere in my nervous system that has changed as I am so often on high alert to avoid various catastrophes! Yes to giving ourselves time and space xx
Somehow I totally missed this was happening! When is the next call? If you’re doing one - just saw your email today so maybe not?
I am pausing for a bit, my intention is to resume in the new year and have calls quarterly! So another in late winter, possibly!
