The modern world can be a noisy, hectic place...

It can be difficult to slow down without feeling guilty or lazy!

However... to allow yourself to slow down every once in a while is a necessary

part of self care, enabling you to relax, reflect and recharge.

Relax: Allowing yourself to relax is an important part of slowing down, reducing the stress response, enabling a clearer mind, improving overall mood.

Reflect: Reflection and contemplation of your life can help figure out what is and isn't important & change direction if it feels right. I share my reflective journalling questions with you in my courses.

Recharge: Being mentally and physically rested & recharged enables you to take on any challenges thats life may present.

Next time you find yourself rushing around, pause for a moment...

Notice your feet, your breath, your hands and sounds

Your future self will thank you
