This could be a very good decision

If we do what we have always done, we will get what we always have.
Which is why we continue to get similar results. Sometimes you just need to shift gears and come back to something afresh.
I’ve been writing this newsletter for over two and a half years. Every Friday it’s come out and each week I’ve shared something even when I’ve not known what to share. However, I’ve just taken 2 weeks off from writing. Which slightly stresses my nervous system because when I commit to something I don’t like to waiver.
Yet, here’s the thing. No one really cares if I write this or not. Life didn’t stop over the last two weeks. Which is a great reminder that sometimes we can really benefit from a break.
Sometimes we need to stop pushing and take time out.
My two weeks out included a silent meditation retreat. No technology. A space for rest and reflection.
My biggest takeaway. The pursuit of pleasure is not the pathway to happiness.
In 2023 my life was a series of highs and lows. I didn’t realise it at the time but living like this seriously disregulated my nervous system. My body knew the score but my head was in the clouds. When this period of time ended my body was exhausted for weeks. I had lost all my energy and become a shell of my former self.

As 2024 rolls towards the end I am making different choices. I’m spending time with connections who feel easeful and simple. Small changes which I hope will lead to better results.
I believe that we can help each other through our truthful expression of our experiences, which is why I share mine. Through taking time out to ask questions, we can create a life by design rather than by accident.
So let me leave you with this …
What in your life is currently not serving you? How can releasing it lead you towards a life that feels more easeful and connected?
I don’t know your story but I do know that simply taking the time to stop and reflect might be the best decision you ever make.
Until next time,
Take care like hearted human.
