The Power Of The Pause

Since coming back from Scotland, I feel as if my feet haven’t touched the ground with work and other commitments. I noticed that this week tiredness had consumed me.

I recognise it’s the change in season, but I’ve also realised that since coming back my own self-care has taken the back seat. It can be so easy to slip into old patterns, or running on the narrative of  “being so busy”.

I’m now taking a conscious effort to just pause and check in, and remind myself what fills my cup, and what I need to give myself.  And tonight, it’s lighting a beautiful candle and reading a book that a client gifted me.

What self-care practices do you have?
