Congratulations on the exhibition news! What a lovely boost. Also I’m inspired by your daily rituals. I think I may need to take time to sit down and create some of my own…I wonder if that would help my focus and ‘brain fog’ as they call it! My head is a complete jumble at the moment 😆

Thank you Tanya! It was quite a step for me to even apply, so to be accepted is the icing on the cake!! Good to be developing my profile more locally as well!

With regards to the daily rituals; I resisted journalling for a long time, as when I had tried before it just became a whinge fest, but starting out by asking myself just three questions How do I want to feel today? What do I NEED to get done today? What quality do I want to imbue? - they gave me a starting point for making it a more positive exercise. I have found that and the daily walks, and meditating really helpful in clearing my mind and giving me direction and focus... It's all about finding something that works for you!

Wow! That is some leap into 2025. Motivation at the ready and CHARGE!!!

You are doing brilliantly and put me to shame, although I have been taking stock after a low patch.

I think that it's all in the doing of it. 🙂

Thanks Julie! Oh I've been in a low patch for a while as far as creating goes...it's great to finally have some energy to put some focus in!! Take it easy on yourself; we all have to work at things at our own pace....
