You are not in a position to receive tea…

You are not in a position to receive tea…

Sometimes my bedside table is spotless and clear.

Sometimes it is out of control.

This week it has been out of control…

Books, my diffuser, a toilet roll… for the nighttime snots(!) my journal, tablets, my phone and various other paraphernalia.

Below is my extension lead with my four sockets… it is supposed to be carefully tucked under my bedside table but it tends to creep out like a mischievous snake.

Matt and I both love tea and are both happy to make it. (Maybe this is indeed the secret to a 16 year relationship?!) Tea in bed is one of my greatest joys. But this week ‘you are not in a position to receive tea’ has been spoken many times. It is true. My current bedside situation is a health and safety nightmare waiting to happen.

However I want the tea. I love the tea. So I made space for it.

Making space is a crucial part of the process. We can all set exciting, audacious goals but do you have room for them? Are you willing to move things aside? To declutter old patterns that don’t support the goal? Are you brave enough to have a look and recognise what is actually going on?

Sometimes it will just be a few tweaks… sometimes everything will need to be examined and it will take some time.

Either way, there are always practical things you can do and that are available to you right now. I know it can be tempting to leave goals until we are ready or everything is in place or until we have everything that we need.

But instead of waiting, create some space in your calendar to begin the process. To research. Or learn. Or get your ideas on paper. Or seek out inspiration. Or ask yourself some questions.

Your equivalent of the ‘tea’ is there and waiting for you…
