5 Minutes For Me Friday!

05/02/21

🎇 Good morning 🎇 I hope everyone is ok? So; the general consensus (I think we would all agree) is that life is BUSY!! …… and for many it’s on a scale never previously experienced …… 🤯 Burn out feels like it’s only ever around the corner, as responsibilities pile up……. Home schooling, domestic duties, work, studying ……… the list goes on …… 🤯 Allowing time to take a breather can be the norm for some, but a foreign concept to others. Consideration of making our well-being a priority, can become non existent before we know it. 🤍 I can identify with thoughts of it feeling greedy, or not deserved, or un-necessary, or even it generally just being uncomfortable ……. but we aren’t going to get into the nitty gritty of those thoughts at the minute. 🤍 So; to accommodate different emotions or individual circumstances around this, let’s start small ….. ✔ Let us just accept that 5 minutes, either sat with a cuppa, or listening to our favourite song, or even just resting our eyes; is something that we are going to ensure happens, at some point during the 24 hour period of today ……. ✔ Don’t overthink it …….. for now that is our goal. Maybe we can build on it, or have variations …….. but ultimately the quantity of time is irrelevant if the quality of it is poor. I am going to share different things as the weeks go on that you may find helpful; but this week is quite simply 5 whole minutes of being STILL ……. Just do your best to give it a go! 😊 🤍 ✨
