Another start...

2020, oh what a year to be restarting my blogging venture where adventures seem to be at a minimum and my idea of self care means a quick bath, copious amounts of alcohol and far too much food (may I add, not all at the same time).

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking it by any stretch and I’m sure I’ll still have those days or weeks where all I want to do is curl up with a glass of Apothic red and some comforting grub – we are entering those cooler months after all.

I think I’m just seeking something a little bit more, you know? To really dig deep into my mind and find those things that really ground me and put my mind at ease, maybe even share a few titbits along the way. Get myself back out in nature, rekindle my love for yoga and meditation, practice my breath work and work on my gratitude and affirmations... do all those things I used to do. Just this time not give up.

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit, and 2 months before that new habit becomes something 'automatic' and part of your routine. Maybe I need to put this to the test and see if I can finally start to read again, or finally start my little candle making venture that was seems like a distant memory (even if I have 2kg of soy wax, candle wicks and a million jars at my disposal), or finally create my little corner of calm filled with incense, my yoga mat and me (although my tree pose (Vrikshasana) resembles more wonky twig and my downward-facing dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) is probably more drunken fox).

Anyway, let's see how the rest of this year pans out, if I stick to this as the air starts to warm and new life appears underfoot then I’ll consider that a small win in my book...
