Every Friday I post a “here’s the thing” blog. “Here’s the thing” is something my mum (and many other wise people) like to say when they’re about to make a good point. Hopefully these posts are also good points.
To be really honest, I don’t have a lot of words this week. I’ve been writing, writing, writing for clients, for Progress not perfection, for Christmas, and I’m a little bit depleted.
In August and September, I was bowled over by work. So much so that my yoga practice and daily walk went out of the window. My back got sore from sitting so much to work. Slowly but surely, I’ve been feeding yoga back into my routine. This week, I’ve done 10 minutes every morning. Just a little bit, but it makes such a difference.
And I’ve been taking my daily walk, too. It even turned into a jog on Tuesday!
All this to say that I’m really pleased to have added a bit more balance into my days. Exercise as well as sitting. Rest as well as work.
Here’s the thing:
Is there anything you’ve been missing out on? Any areas where you could re-address your balance?
Maybe you’ve been doing so much organising that you haven’t had any purely creative time.
Maybe you need more sleep.
Maybe you need more time for yourself, no work, no family, no one else.
Perhaps you’ve been craving a home cooked meal, or to have someone else cook for you.
Even if it’s just a little thing, I urge you to find a little more balance this weekend. Balance is essential.
