Time to Be

Hey you

Why not take some time for yourself today?

If you can

Where you can

Prioritise that voice in you that fights for space to ‘just be’

So let it be

Gently find that moment, to be you

Sing in the car, breathe, look at the sky

Look up at the vast, look down at the miniscule

Look with wonder, look slow

Connect yourself

What can I do to prioritise myself today?

Even a minute, 10 minutes or 30 moments of me time

How do I spend my time in a way that’s self compassionate?

Or…

If I’m being self compassionate, how will that reflect in what I do, how I do it and when?

Because sometimes I pretend at self care, sometimes I’m going through the motions, physically doing the thing…but

I’m going for a walk, but my head isn’t present…but at least I’m walking..yes? Yes

It’s a fight to do the self care, self compassionate thing, the temptations to be mind distracted are huge, and subtlety small. But it’s a good fight.

A daily choice.

For the real you, and the real me

Can you do it, just for you?

May you be you today, may you sense that sense of self today

Dare to cultivate it, dare to cultivate you, one tiny moment at a time.

May you, feel, find and love yourself today

Moment by moment, choice by choice

Moment by powerful moment , choice by powerful choice

Even now

Stop, breathe, relax, feel

Stop again, breathe again, relax again, feel again
