Morning musings, the scenic route. 🌀✨

I am taking the scenic route. We live in a world that
makes us feel we should be constantly pushing, rushing, optimising, checking off milestones. We're never encouraged to just be. To take our time, to figure it out through experimentation and curiousity, to enjoy the journey and the diversions.

I am choosing the scenic route. I will savour the smell, the taste, the wind in my hair. I may not have it all figured out, but I am on the path. I am slowing down to appreciate this moment. I will enjoy the detours and see them like an adventure. I am exactly where I need to be.

✨ Soft discipline is the secret.✨

Earlier this week I was in a shitty place, low energy, anxious and generally not in the mood. Training was the last thing I wanted to do even though I knew it was probably exactly what I needed.

After a long commute I couldn’t face a packed gym and a heavy, programmed session but I know that keeping the promises I make to myself makes me feel good. So instead of forcing it, punishing or shaming myself for not having it in me. I was gentle, I met myself where I was at, respected my energy levels, emotional capacity and decided something was better than nothing (or at the very least better than a night inside doom scrolling.) I froze my apps, ditched my shoes and took myself outside to play. I didn’t follow a plan, count reps, or get any pbs but I got into my body and out of my mind, got lost in the movement and the moment (so much so, I ended up doing monkey bars in the dark and invented a way to do banded high pulls on my ones 😂)

Ironically, after that play session my mind has been pretty peaceful and I’ve trained like an absolute beast the rest of this week. Bullying or burning ourselves isn’t the answer but showing up for ourselves softly is.

Morning rituals 🌞🌞🌞 I am an aurophile, for as long as I can remember I have been up with the birds, chasing sunrise. I feel at peace before the world wakes, carving out a slice of time for me and my thoughts before life starts hurling itself at me.

I recently discovered why waking up at the crack of dawn makes me feel so good. When you rise with the sun it regulates your autonomic nervous system by aligning your body clock with the natural day-night cycle, it boosts serotonin and dopamine too, aiding motivation and focus throughout the day, which for a busy ADHD brain like mine is so important.

I use this quiet time as an awareness practice, tuning into the sensations and sounds around me to get out of my head and into my body and the present. Sometimes I’ll pair this with a breathing sequence, today that was 4-7-8 which helps reduce anxiety and stress.

I am grateful for slow mornings ✨

After being made redundant and losing a few freelance gigs as a result of the UK’s second Covid-19 lockdown, #ShilloLON graduate Niamh Tulley wanted to keep busy and positive. She decided to create a mini-campaign to ‘rebrand redundancy’ and Shit Grows Flowers was born. Niamh's aim is to try and spread a little positivity in these weird sometimes hopeless feeling times by sharing the stories of people who have pivoted off the back of redundancy and created something amazing despite losing their job. The campaign will end with the release of a positivi-tee where £2 from each sale will go to Mind Charity to support those who are struggling with their mental health in these particularly challenging times.
