real talk – Mel Reviews Her Books

Sometimes, I think we have moments where we need to be present and let our body and brain catch up from the experiences you may have just rushed through or placed at the forefront of your brain, leaving behind the other not as important things.

I guess that’s prioritising, but sometimes prioritising quickly and in the moment can jolt your body and brain unexpectedly.

I think it’s important to have patience when the come down happens. The come down from the rush. The come down from the quick thinking and immediate decision making.

‘be where your feet are’ is certainly a good idea when you’re resetting into the calm, the present and your routines. Being present is one of the most valuable perspectives for me this week – it may just be for you too 💫

It’s ok to have a wobble 🍮

Sometimes, life doesn’t go to plan. People don’t always act in the kindest way you know that they can because they themselves are having a rough trot of things at the moment.

Sometimes, life gives you lemons.

I have these days, everyone does. They are days when you wish you could just jump back into your pjs by the time lunch rolls around and soak up some cozy time reading, back in bed, maybe with a cup of tea or slice of chocolate cake.

I mean, I don’t know what these days look like for you but what I do know is … sometimes if you don’t let your body, brain and heart have these wobble days, the wobble days can last longer than they need too.

So I guess I’m telling you that, if you need a mental health day once and a while, tell the people around you that that is what you need.

Try to explain to them what it is that’s going to help you and why you think you need a wobble day.

Then ask them to check in on you in a day or two.

If your wobble day has turned into longer than just a day or two, maybe you can try explaining a little bit more to that trusted person. They may be able to help you find a new perspective you couldn’t see from under your cozy bed sheets x
