Hello and welcome to Monday Mantra!
I have been away for a few days with my lovely husband to Glasgow to visit family and meet the newest addition to the Taylor clan, a beautiful, healthy bundle of joy called Robbie. I did wonder if my ovaries would start to twitch and my maternal ache would start. However, I am pleased to report that I enjoyed all the pleasure of the cuddles and that fabulous new born smell without a brooding thought or inclination. I am sure that I have laid to rest any thoughts about having any more children. At the age of 43, I hear some of you cry "good thing too!!!!" I will enjoy being a granny to the light of my life, Myles and I will be grateful to hand him back to his adoring mum when the going gets tough!
Back to a the subject in hand - Mantra! Today I have chosen "I am a human being not a human doing!"
This is dear to my own heart at the moment as I need to remind myself to slow down, take time out and just be. Over the past month, I have been taking on more and more tasks and spreading myself too thinly to the cost of my health and sanity. Going away this weekend came at a perfect time and with a long car journey as a passenger, I took the opportunity to re-evaluate life and to choose the tasks that were important to me and I have been able to let some go without guilt. I took time to day dream and visualise the future. As a result, creative ideas and inspiration flowed and I arrived home with more energy and vitality than I have felt for a while.
Even if you have not got the time to escape for a weekend, at the very least give yourself a few hours to just be still and let yourself daydream and re-evaluate your routines. You never know what ideas will present themselves and get your creative juices flowing!
Love and Blessings,
Jean Fisher-Taylor x
