This month I am celebrating my first full year in business, woohoo!! 🎉

These past 12 months have been exciting and eventful, full of challenges and ups and downs, and I’m proud of myself for reaching this milestone. Now as we come into the final months of the year my body and mind are starting to slow down, BIG TIME! I feel so ready to take some time off, to relax, recharge and enjoy a change of scenery away from my little home office environment. I haven’t completely come to a standstill but I’m allowing myself to slow right down, to stop pushing, striving and just appreciate how far I’ve come.

Last week I felt guilty about this, as if somehow my slowing down meant that I wasn’t finishing off the year ‘strong’ or on a positive note. But I know I need to listen to my body and honour my energy. I’m not stopping, just changing pace. 🐌

So for the last few weeks of the year, I’ve decided to engage in activities that I CHOOSE to engage in, rather than ones I feel I SHOULD be doing. I’ve enrolled in some short courses, I’m giving my first podcast interview, I’m meeting up with friends for coffee (in my case, tea!) and I’m planning our new year road trip. And I’m letting go of the guilt so I can enjoy it all fully!

I’m curious to know how others are ending the year. Are you slowing down, speeding up or just going with the flow?

After a relaxing weekend away on the coast I’m feeling relaxed and refreshed for a big week ahead!

There’s something about being by the ocean that instantly makes me feel calm and grounded. 💚

The first pic was the glorious view from our apartment on Friday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon we sat and watched the storm pass over (second pic) which to me was equally as beautiful. I love watching Mother Nature at work! ⛈

Happy Monday to all! 💜
