Quiet Reflections and Deep Dives
Deeply connect to find renewal
In this season generosity it's easy to forget that this season of giving - of time and of love - is also by its very nature a time of receiving. For those whose lives are lived in the service of others it can feel harder to receive than to give, harder to take time to recharge and take care of ourselves and our wellbeing, but it's so important. It needn't be complicated, but it may take some work to ease into a space that feels restorative.
For the first time in 26 years I will not be working at Christmas. It's a gift, but I'm aware I'm also putting myself under a little pressure to 'do' something, to use the time 'wisely'. After a lot of change this year, I know time to recharge is so important, and 'being' is my heartfelt need this Christmas, so that afterwards I might be energised and my most creative self.
How does this resonate with you?
Easing into the holidays
For those who are caught up in the busy-ness of the holiday season, caring for others and putting their needs and wants first, these ideas are for you! Easing into a busy period may feel difficult at times, but it is absolutely possible to find balance and joy with a little intention.
And for the next season, where there might be a little more expansiveness, there are a few thoughts and ideas about where a coaching conversation can help you dive deeper into your thinking and decision making.
Life's True Anchors
In a world often driven by competition, achievement, and rapid change, it's easy to overlook quieter qualities such as compassion, love, and kindness... and they can seem a bit 'fluffy'.
But the tea-bag wisdom is that compassion, love and kindness aren't just fleeting emotions or nice-to-have traits; they can, hold us - and others - steady amidst life’s storms. When we embrace these qualities, they become our superpowers, guiding us through challenges and connecting us to others in profound ways.
