So I watched With Love, Meghan on Netflix, I have to say say am a big fan 😁. I watched it at a time when I was tired but wired and needed a distraction. It was the perfect tonic to the world’s current toxicity. A little escapism from the evils of the planet. I have a lot of time for that.
It reminded me to take joy in the little moments of life that I can control. It reminded me to pay attention to sweet little details.
What does that look like for me right now?
Those of you that know me well, know that I spend hours complaining and crying into my cornflakes about my ridiculous and hideous morning routine on the days that I drive into work. I will not go into it now – there are numerous old blog posts that I have penned to that effect! I’ve yet to work out how I make the changes need to remedy this unsustainable situation. That’s another blog for another day.
I’ve also written about the mornings where I take back control and try and enjoy the peace that the morning can afford. So this will be nothing new, I just thought I’d share the Spring 2025 version of events…
I have been lucky enough that I have had weekend mornings (and some weekday work-from-home days) where I have had enough presence of mind to think about what I want to eat, how I want to eat and where.
Mostly this has been in the glorious morning sunshine of my conservatory. For the most part alone, but sometimes with my husband and once a spontaneous visit from my close friend.
Here are a few quiet morning moments from the past few months, small scenes that have made a big difference.
It has been so relaxing and it reinforces the importance of starting the day correctly. For me this is the absolute correct way to start the day.
Just as I know that racing or rolling along the M25, sipping homemade coffee and nibbling on Lotus Biscoff biscuits, is the absolute opposite of maintaining well-being.
But I’ll get to the place I need to be. I just need need to work on nuturing and nourishing myself, healing and helping myself, so that I can make those changes.
