The sun is shining, it's March and it's my last week of homeschooling three kids. Hurrah! Am happy, but also a bit sad, worried, emotional..... anyone else with me?
Modern society puts a lot of pressure on us to be perfect. We all have to be amazing at everything. But the reality is we're all human; messy, imperfect humans at that.
I have zero time for Valentine's Day, but I have a lot of time for love. Love is basically everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst I’m glad to see the back of you January, you’ve not been so bad. February, I’m ready for you. Be short, as always. And then, it’s hello March, spring, sunshine and (maybe) the end of lockdown. Keeping everything crossed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This parenting-on-steroids experience, which a lot of us are going through, is intense. Isn't it? Hands up if you're exhausted, fed-up, bored, have zero patience, worried, stressed? It's sapping all the fun out of me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My mantra at the moment: works for pretty much everything. Business, life, parenting, homeschooling, running - just keep putting one foot in front of the other. If you keep at it, don't give up, learn from your mistakes, move forward, eventually, bit by bit, you'll get there. Sending love to anyone who is struggling right now. It's tough, isn't it? Just think how grateful we'll be when life gets back to normal. And it will. I am sure of it.
It’s tempting to just stay in bed and wait for all this to be over, but hear me out. I’d like to urge you to think about the purpose behind your brand or business.
Love this quote, which I heard last night during my Zoom yoga class with the lovely @bryonyyoga. If you're a freelancer, a small business owner, an entrepreneur or a working parent, you've probably spent the last 24 hours manically adjusting your sails. Again. It's exhausting, but we've done this before and we know what works. This is what works for me...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone else not feeling very motivated this New Year? I'm still struggling with the status quo, which seems to worsen by the hour. This is not how I imagined the beginning of 2021, to be honest. But we just have to keep on keeping on.
