I playfully refer to myself as a headless chicken, always busy and rushing from one thing to another.
A few months ago I made the decision to slow down for my own sanity, I took a step back from the market, slowed down my production and made basic self care a priorty. Nothing extreme just me taking a beat before rushing in to the next thing.
What that looks like now is favoring movement like long morning walks with the dogs, yoga and tennis over hardcore workouts.
•
Windows down enjoying the drive to pick up clay from Hammie instead of mindlessly driving there thinking about all the things I need to do.
•
Choosing to make a post tennis meal at home instead of grabbing something less nourishing on the go.
•
Enjoying a small coffee on the verandah.
•
Taking time to get ready properly for the day instead of rushing to work in tennis clothes.
•
And lastly venting my kiln so it can cool down properly instead of forcing the kiln to cool down quickly with a fan and heat resistant gloves!
•
It’s the small things, neglected over time, that have caused the feeling of exhaustion and it will be the small things, done over time that will bring positive change.
