Old never !
The saying goes that you are as young as you feel. I can feel physically ancient and a teenager mentally. It is when I look in the mirror that I get reminded that I am a menopausal older woman. The problem is if you start thinking like an old person you will become one. I like to think despite the onset of “aging body syndrome” (getting older)I still act and behave younger than I am.
Following that inner voice
How often do you have a gut instinct, that intuitive feeling, something inside guiding you only to overrule it and not even consider its guidance or alternatively work it to death over analyzing it? It is easy to become caught up in other people’s opinions about what is right or wrong or even so concerned with other people’s lives that your own needs and wants vanish into the ether.
You Need Hands
Over the last few weeks I have been talking about hands a great deal within my teaching and therapy sessions. It appears to be the theme of the month so I thought why not write about hands in this blog.
Retreat
Over the years I have often wondered what it would be like to go on a retreat. It was certainly on my “bucket list” of things that I would like to do. I am not sure why I have never got round to actually going on one till now. So many of us these days rush around with agendas and there always seems something or someone that needs our time and attention. During one of my regular chats with my friend Chris she announced that she was planning to go on a retreat so my desire to go on retreat finally became a reality.
Patience
Sometimes in our lives we can rush from here to there finding time just swallowing us up. On the other hand there are times when time weighs heavy and we are desperate for time to pass us by. The pace of life weather it is too fast or too slow can lead to frustration and impatience.
Time Time Time
I sometimes wonder where time goes. I often think that it speeds up as it seems to vanish into the ether without a trace. People often tell me that they are amazed at how much I seem to do and achieve, however I think I could achieve so much more which sometimes leads to frustration. I think that there is a little of the perfectionist still lurking in me which I do have to fight.
