I’m looking out my window and watching the rain drip down. It’s so peaceful. I’m thinking about how quick this year is going. I’m thinking how important it is to just stop a second, and listen to the rain, listen to your own breathing and listen to yourself.
Taking time for yourself is so important and blocking out that constant noise of the world is important. World mental health day wasn’t too long ago and it’s so nice to see people raising awareness. The mind is so powerful and so important. Why do we treat it anything less than a body part you can see. I beat myself up and love to get things right like most of us but it’s just not possible all the time. We learn from our mistakes.
I have just got a new job. I work in a school at the office and I love it. Completely different to coffee but a change I needed to make. Life is always about making little positive changes that build up to be the best decisions ever. Sometimes you need to learn when to move on and let fate guide you. I’m out of my comfort zone most of the time but it’s actually what I needed. Life works in mysterious ways and if you listen you will get what’s best for you.
Appreciate all the small things like friends who make you smile, that 4 hour game of cards that made you happy and the laughter of the people you love. They are what’s important. Reflect on all the amazing things that are going to happen before the year ends and be grateful for your life.
So as the rain pours and I’m sat writing this, I’m content. Not everything is perfect but life isn’t and we have to accept that. It’s what you make of it that counts. Life is like the rain it will pour down on you, but will give you some sun so you can shine like a rainbow.
Lots of love and happiness
