Welcome back to another Slow Sunday Letter! I hope you have had a slow and gentle week.
Don’t forget to scroll down for my latest Book Lovers Chat video! I’d love to know what you think as we build this community together.
Do you crave more balance in your life? Do you wonder what it actually means, and if it is even possible for you? In this week’s Slow Sunday Letter, we are going to do the work together, and uncover what we mean by creating balance and how we can achieve it in our own lives. So, grab a cuppa, get cosy and let’s focus our energy and take these first steps together.
Before we get going, I just wanted to clarify finding balance will be different for everyone. Just because a friend can work 50+hours week and still find time to meditate, have a full social life and run a side hustle doesn’t mean you can too, and there is nothing wrong with that! We are all wonderous, unique beings and finding your happy medium in which you feel at peace, inspired, and have time for everything you want and need to do in your life without feeling stressed, is what we are working towards. This will be different for everyone, and more likely may even feel different each day! The key is taking the time to get to know you, and what makes your feel at ease and what pushes you off centre.
We are steering away from perfection- rigid, still and delicate balance. I am advocating for balance that is changeable, and able to adapt and shift to suit you, what you are doing and how you are feeling.
Balance Is A State Of Mind
I want to be clear for me, living a balanced life is not about ‘doing it all’, and spreading yourself over every aspect of your life and finding a way to juggle and manage it all. This idea that in order to create balance you have to treat all aspects of your life equally and dedicate yourself to all corners of life, all responsibilities with equal vigour, focus and time is absolutely not what we are going to explore together today.
