Oooooh, loved this Cath. I always find January extremely hard. I have an autoimmune condition too. Last year, I was fortunate enough to be able to take a solo week away in Lanzarote. My amazing husband is supporting me in doing the same again this year. I have battled a bit to be able to rest into it and enjoy it without feeling guilty but I’m getting there. It did me the world of good last year so hoping for the same boost this year.
In for me:-
Consistency- I really struggle with this in relation to things I need to do for my health…yoga, weights etc. I’m hoping Dr Chatterjee’s new book on lasting change will help. I’m trying to remind myself my body & mind deserve the time & attention
Out for me:-
Social Media. It brings me loads of brilliant information & connections BUT it’s a time hoover & the benefits come at the expense of things like consistency in self care & in person activities
It is really hard isn't it? That is so DELIGHTFUL that you are going away on a solo week and I really hope you are able to rest into it Jude. We are not more virtuous or worthy if we don't tend to ourselves although this is often what we think or act like (I talked a bit about this in the podcast episode 115 released yesterday). The world needs you strong and resourced!
I also struggle with consistency and have to keep things really simple, I am going to have to book and pay for yoga/weights as me trying to do it alone at home will not be a success. Look forward to hearing how you do it.
I use social media for work but agree it is a time hoover and sometimes I dream of coming off it altogether but not there yet. Wishing you a gentle January x
So much of this resonates with me. The constant self sabotage to make progress on wellness due to feeling the pressure of expectations which were never mine in the first place... Yes to dancing but I'm more of a kitchen disco gal..!
So pleased to hear it resonates. Yes to kitchen dancing!! It is a big thing to discern what wellness goals are ours and what is the noise of society telling us we need to be a certain way....so complex. For the moment I am focusing on managing the autoimmune condition I have as I do some self sabotaging around that.
