Yesterday,1st of June 2019, the start of Summer.
We placed a metal sign above the neighbours cottage at Lime Tree farm and this will look great when, eventually, it weathers in time.
We meditated in the roundhouse and stone circle and a small cabbage white butterfly was following us and was beautiful, as it fluttered to and fro, along with the sound of the Curlews and Red Kites. The Red kite being somewhat rare in some parts of Britain.
We all have become experts at planning and anticipating the fun of summer, but when it happens not-the-way-it-should, we feel disappointed and look back with regret, or begin to look ahead at something else with anticipation or worse, increased stress and anxiety.
You may be thinking of that family holiday you so looked forward to…then you are there and your kids are acting up, you are reliving that dysfunctional family dynamic again, your partner is miserable. And you just want to go home and put the kids back in a summer camp, wondering what happened.
Summer as a whole can look and feel like this. You look forward to it with excitement. But after week 2 of being on your own with the kids, you are counting down to back-to-school fever and the cycle continues but it does not have to.
Being present, in the moment without judgment does not always come naturally and takes effort. (Surely we can all relate to that but can we admit it!) And it’s doubly hard when we don’t have the time and space to ourselves that our sanity desperately needs (a.k.a. that refreshing summer breeze when we feel good in our skin.)
This is why at ABC we provide a space to unwind and share a few simple tips to support our wellbeing through the summer months and more importantly about living in the now.
These tips are great to practice to anchor you when the familiar emotions take over – fear, guilt, regret, anxiety, worry, imposter syndrome or getting over relationship breakups.
They are also good go-to’s when you fall out of balance, or go off track, or make that mistake and start ruminating into self-criticism. But best of all they are super preventative techniques that will help keep you keep grounded, with extra perspective and the art of being in the moment.
Book early to avoid disappointment.
