Thursday Real Talk: A Gentle Week

The last two weeks, I came across some challenges I was not expecting to face and then some other regular ones. Let’s just say the past fortnight has been hard on my brain, body and ability to get up and enjoy something in each day.

But that’s okay, we’re over the hill now because on the one day that I had 3 relatively unhappy things happen, 1 good thing happened and I just needed to focus on that. Because it was majorly good and I have the internal belief that everything happens for a reason.

So that lands us at this week. This week has been a gentle week.

This week I’ve only said ‘Yes’ to the things that bring me joy.

I’ve cooked a homemade meal every night for dinner. I’ve had meetings with local creatives for the Riverina Readers Festival. I filmed a piece for local tv about our Book Festival and a book event we have coming up. I took myself to get a much deserved massage. I’ve made appointments to help improve my future self. And this weekend, I’m spending time with friends in a happy and celebratory environment.

This may still come across as a lot, but this is considered a slow week for me at the moment 🙈 And for that, I’m very grateful 💫

Tell me – what’s an activity you like to do on a slow week?
