Warrior weekly: Summer Lovin’
Sun’s been back out. In summer/lover week of my menstrual cycle. Skin, hair, energy levels abundant. The desire to connect, engage and network are high.
Monday – regular pedicure client this morning. Had a chat about what we think of as being healthy and the disparity I’ve found between this and what I’ve discovered health to really mean. Because I was undiagnosed for 20 years and masked any mental health issues I faced, having no clue at all that I was living a life of fatigue for many years, I was described by others as having high energy. Sure, I was active and went to the gym a lot. I ate well (and also not so well). I worked and earnt good money. But when I look back now, I no longer see this as a sign of a healthy person.
Feeling in a celebratory mood today. Despite the lows/tiredness/knee pain and head not being so good on occasion last week, it was still the best and a life of meaning, value and purpose lived. To be present with it all and not have these times overrule the week feels like a big win.
Tuesday – bodywork with published author friend and a cuppa together after. Trying to get some clarity on how best to move forward the book writing process. Thrashed around a few ideas. R on holiday this week, walked to the café in town for lunch before sauna and tea at his mums. With another bodywork client in between all that.
Wednesday – weekly online check in with a focus on realigning my knee, hips and spreading weight evenly on both feet again. R came over for lunch and to walk Milo with me again – he’s become his new best friend! Tea and sauna back at R’s mums.
Preparing to launch a Couples Retreat With Me experience to go alongside the two 1-to-1 options (Bring Back the Balance and The Expansive Experience). Do you know a couple who would like to do a pilot run with me? Half price offering for the first 2 to come along.
Thursday – family day out at Yorkshire Water Park. Continuing on the adventure of last week’s Wake up in the Woods Retreat with inflatable fun on the lake and first ever go at paddle boarding! Back again for tea and sauna at R’s.
Friday – super slow morning with breakfast at The Kitchen in Howden. The full works! Last minute visit from my friend and his son on their way past in the afternoon. Their dog Chloe joined us and Milo. Stocked up the fridge and cleaned home ahead of friend’s who are coming to retreat with me this weekend. One of those week’s where I feel like I’m winning at life. Do you ever feel this way in summer/ovulation week?
Saturday – facial and makeup trial for my sister-in-law! Friends sleepover – one is nursing a broken heart (and very nearly didn’t come) and the other is newly dating in the field of the unknown, throwing up all the triggers and fears that dating again can bring up. Conversations went deep, we all really opened up, practiced using our intuition with card readings, took away inspired ideas and new insights to work with and had the very best most grounded, restful and funny time together.
Sunday – chill morning full of giggles and mini treatments on each other. Both friends left around lunchtime leaving me preparing for new online offering I’m trialling tomorrow, writing a few posts and moving to bed to meditate and enjoy a little snooze. All the energy vibes of the full moon that’s coming up.
Health stuff - lovely. 💕
