This afternoon I spent some time doing this.
Nothing.
This morning felt busy,
Chickens to feed,
Cats and dog to feed,
Cows to water,
Flowers to wrap,
Raw Milk delivery to sort out,
Hang wet laundry from yesterday,
Get children ready,
Drink something,
Deliver flowers,
Drop girls with their friend,
Flower farmers meet up,
Collect girls,
On the way home get some straw and feed girls.
Be home by 1.30pm and was late due to needing fuel and getting stuck behind a tractor!
Too many deadlines and I felt frazzled.
So whilst moving the hay, I just stopped and I decided to sit on the bale for a bit in the warm October sun and do nothing.
There and then for that 20 minutes I chose to forget the washing up, dinner to make, emails to send, bouquets I needed to make, invoices to sort and I just sat and breathed.
Honestly, It topped me up.
I felt the slowness of the land and it held me and slowed me, my nervous system feels more nourished.
Too many lists, too many places to be and too many deadlines, just feel too much nowadays.
Anyone else feeling this? I know I’m not alone. Are you good at remembering to stop and slow? In the midst of all the chaos- Even for just 10 minutes!
If not let’s start.
Whilst writing this it’s reminding me of my course I held a couple of years ago named, ‘Gather’ it was 30 days of voice notes from me to help you remember the slow and beauty in it.
They say you teach what you need.
Food for thought there.
