Introducing Tilly, my 3 year old lab.
Although this was taken in spring I thought it was fitting to my overall theme of this week's reflections, that being to stop and smell the roses.
She is always constantly smiling with her tail wagging so I hope it brings a smile to someone's face!
Here are the top three things that have made a difference in my week.?They might also be useful for you, or not.
1. New places and new friends...
Having only recently joined a new team full of practitioners it’s really only??by chance in between patients do we get to chat. However, the last few weeks Bec and I have taken to the beach paths during our lunch break in both sunshine. Talking about everything from our professions to families to discussions on health and the human body.?As adults, it can feel daunting to make new friends, but having the opportunity to do so is genuinely exciting and refreshing.?Not only do I have the chance to get to know Bec, both of us are consciously??making the effort to get outside and move our bodies. 2 for 1!
2)?Food food food…
Over the past few weeks, I've realized that my food choices haven't been the best – lots of sugary and packaged stuff. With all the stress from lifestyle changes and less time for exercise, my eating and sleeping routines got totally messed up.?This week I acknowledged this. I took the time to slow down, write a list for groceries and chose a few items I wouldn’t usually cook with - squash and sweet potato were the chosen ones. I absolutely love my relationship with food and knowing its value to my wellbeing. Remember to take time to be interested in what we fuel ourselves with, food is powerful stuff!
3)?Time with family…
I hate having to schedule in time to see family. It’s almost like scheduling time to relax. It doesn’t seem right to me. I’ve started noticing that I was having to schedule time to see family recently even for my partner who I live with. While this may work for some, I’ve asked myself to embrace opportunities when they arise. This might be dropping in to read my niece a book, taking my aunt for a walk around the block, meeting dad at the coffee shop while walking the dog. Tonight I’ll be turning off the TV and bringing out the UNO cards for Stuart and I so we can actually enjoy each other's company.

Super important to find a group of like-minded people that will challenge you, champion you, and inspire you to stay on track. Who do you have championing you at the moment?

I would love your feedback on what had an impact on you and the lesson in it, the moral of the story, or the learning you would share.?
Have a ripper finish to your week.
Cheers!
