My interpretation of today is one of self reflection.
In a world where I feel we are all battling our own challenges I would ask that you take a moment... take three deep breaths... and ask yourself if you are ok?

What does your body feel? What is your nervous system doing?
Do you need to take a moment to rest, reset or clear your mind. Are you overwhelmed with all the things on for the day, the week, the month? Is your heart racing, do you feel numb?

Check in with your body + mind and ask yourself what you need to be ok. It may not fix all the problems but self reflection + becoming aware of your own needs will ultimately lead to self care. Something we all desperately need these days + find little time to do... (please know, this message is for me as much as it is you).

Sometimes when everyone is deep in their own lives or facing their own challenges they may not be able to reach out to you even though they want to.
But first + foremost you need to look out for you.
So check in + recognise what it is you need in this moment, day or week. Is it a bath, some time to read, a catch up with someone who will listen, love + support you?
I give you permission to action this + take care of yourself before the long list of people relying on you to take care of them. I see you ✨💜

You may have noticed that I have been very quiet on socials lately.

I am sorry for that as things have been really tough. I have needed all that energy to stay in survival mode as I've been falling apart at the seams.
If I show up, I want to show up authentically, not just because that's what social media requires of me.

I was listening to an audiobook about boundaries + self worth by Dr Rebecca Ray. And something she said really struck home.
People always tell us to find balance. Work-life... But that would mean that we weigh both of those equally which is not the case. Life, love + family are so much more important than work. Instead we should find work-life rhythm.

There is so much truth in that. And even though finding that rhythm seems impossible most days it is something that I try to keep at the forefront of my mind. Life will always ebb and flow, challenges will arise, things will run smoothly. There will be slow times, busy times, hectic times, happy times, emotional times, angry times, sad times, times of just feeling defeated.

Maybe the key is to find your rhythm and how work + life fits in with you; monthly, weekly, daily.
Life will always change so we need to change with it and stop holding this idea of "balance" so highly as I don't believe it's that simple. Maybe it's a matter of being present and adapting in your ever day life to what comes, to allow these challenges to pass through you, not react but respond.

Easier said than done. A work in progress for me. But maybe this will resonate with someone else too.

Glistening gums after the rain.

Summer storms.

Open skies.

The smell of the earth underfoot.

Some of my fondest memories are camping on the Murray.
The invigorating feeling of the river on my sun kissed face. The warmth of a fire after dark. The smell of the bush, the gums + the dirt.
In one word for me... Bliss.

Be transported to the Australian Outback with this authentic Bush soy candle. Made using 100 percent natural soy wax with premium fragrance + essential oils.
A glorious profile of lemon myrtle, pine, eucalyptus + sandalwood.

Our candles have been hand poured on Wurundjeri land in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Thoughtfully made with the environment in mind. So allow yourself to relax + unwind knowing that your purchase has been kind to the earth.

This quote has presented itself three times this week so I thought I would share it with you and also heed the message ✨3 times means listen... I get the memo!

Just a gentle reminder to those of you that need to hear it and a lesson for me. It's not that we are incapable of doing anything we set our mind, heart + soul to. It's that we just can't do everything at once!

We are so critical of all the things we are not doing or managing instead of looking at all the things we actually ARE juggling. We can't work on our business + have a clean house. We can't clean the house and also have great engagement with the kids. We can't do all of the deliveries, shopping, kinder and school drop offs and somehow find self care! So the best thing we can do is accept what we can do in a day. Plan, execute + not feel guilty about all the things we didn't manage but be happy with the tasks we achieved.

Just remember...
We are capable of many things.
We CAN do ANYTHING... just not EVERYTHING (at once).
And that's ok.
All in good time.

Love Kristie 💜✨
