What lies beneath …
Hi Guys
Welcome back to my blog, it has been a while since I last wrote.
I have named this blog “What lies beneath” because after a busy Summer, I personally feel that it is time to perhaps put into place a little personal time to practice some inner calm and also time to listen to our bodies.
Although I am very much a sunny bunny, I do find this season warming in a different fashion. It is incredibly soothing to ease into this more mindful relaxed season. Time to wrap up warm and enjoy the lead up to December. Hygge season, a good time to reassess and re-evaluate.
The Island will now slow down, the beaches are now a place for walkers. With the darker nights it is nature’s way of saying it’s time to rest, replenish and renew.
I continue, when possible to do a morning gratitude walk, which always makes my heart and soul feel so much better. Our local fields have their Highland cows back, and there is a new found crispness both under foot and in the air. The skies are however, still vividly blue.
After a busy 2021 catching up with life, friends and mother nature, I thought I would make a little list of self care rituals. It also brings me back to my word for 2021 “Permission”.
Here are some favourites:-
Light a room with scented candles.
Drink Herbal teas.
Spray some Lavender in the air to aid good sleep.
Drink warm water, with root ginger or fresh mint, as a natural flavouring to keep hydrated.
Have a hot scented bath.
Listen to some mellow music.
Watch/Listen to an uplifting Podcast.
Snuggle in your cosiest comfy clothes.
Curl up with a book or journal.
Meditate to some mindful music.
Create space in your home, to stretch
“HYGGE - A calm and comforting time spent at home with loved ones. Often enjoyed with good food, warm drinks, blankets, books and candles”
The little book of Hygge is a really enjoyable read and perfect to get you started in your quest for some peace, calm and tranquility in the forthcoming winter months.
