How To Be Well

Sometimes I feel like I ‘fail’ at taking a holiday. Or that I don’t live up to the standard of what a ‘perfect’ holiday looks like because my mind remains busy and overwhelmed with thoughts. I find it hard to switch off.

Just because you’re on holiday doesn’t mean your nervous system relaxes. Yes, I work really hard on challenging the thoughts and offering myself compassion and understanding when I find myself fighting with my mind. These things, gratitude & worry or struggle can co-exist. They can exist at the same time, and that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. I still had the most incredible time and I understand what a privilege it is to do the travel that I’ve done, and I know need to learn to not place pressure on myself to be “perfect” on holiday.

Being able to be present, and re-set without guilt is how I want to show up 🧡
