Really noticing I haven't done my mindfulness since Tuesday,starting new session this week,cultivating kindness and self compassion.Sounds like just the ticket.
I'm loving my time off but noticing that I have neglected myself physically I feel fat,unfit and oversugared.
In the past I have treated myself with expensive products,shopping,excess yummy food and sitting about etc etc - what I really need is healthy food consistently(with the odd treat) and daily movement and social contact and relaxation,and a pleasant environment in my home. I want to live a simpler life,one that is simpler because I am thinking differently,not one where I necessarily live in a self sustaining hut in the countryside - though sometimes that does sound appealing,though perhaps isn't realistic for me!
Time off has let me notice the patterns of behaviour and thinking I have been in,I am so grateful for another week off work,I have nine more days off!I'm also realising that one of the major self critical,harsh voices that plays in my head isn't me,it's my mother's voice and style of thinking that I have picked up.
Hope you're all good and I'm off to get ready for my day.
