I’m trying to get better at building slowness and gratitude into my routine. Over the last few weeks I’ve been working and planning and socialising and creating (non-stop) and today is the first day in over a fortnight that I’ve got nothing scheduled. I am allowed to rest. I think these days are so important. These are the days when I give thanks, when I appreciate the abundance in my life and when I make a concerted effort to put my needs first, over those of the rest of the world.
