Feeling brighter and noticing..

So here we are at the end of the first week in lockdown in the UK.

What have we learnt? How have we found the experience?

As we head towards our first weekend of Stay Home will the weekend feel different to the last few days, or do the days now merge into one long experience - a bit like being on holiday...

It has been marginally more positive for me. I seem to have found my sea-legs. I've been busy and getting on with things.

Is it because I've been feeling better physically, or is it purely emotional?

The week of the 9th to 13th was a crazy one of endless networking events and gatherings of thought leaders intent on making a change.

The weekend that followed saw me develop a head cold - and I rarely get sick... I wasn't poorly as such, just out of sorts and trying to think through a foggy head.

But you start to wonder... might it be? what if?

I took to taking my temperature daily, just to be sure... no fever, thank goodness. Feeling blessed I tried to kick my sorry 'ass' into action. I was more productive by the weekend (21-22 March). 

But.., I was also emotionally spinning. I have been planning the launch of the Flow Academy, since the middle of last year, with the Spring Equinox as "the day". 

I released teaser videos back in February, subtle mentions in various places in early March, and now the weekend had arrived and....

I didn't feel like it was the right time anymore. Would I be judged for trying to capitalise on the coronavirus? Was all the wording sensitive and appropriate for the current times?

To be honest, in hindsight, who cares.... Some will love it and others won't be interested. That is the nature of all products and programmes.

But, in my fragile emotional state, with all the fear being pushed out across the media and in my still not-quite-right physical state I hesitated.

As always, I'm glad that I did. 

I know feel so much better in myself, and ready to support my clients and community in a far stronger, more positive, way.

I have always believed that the "Universe has our back" and once again I can see such beauty in that reality.

As we now face a complete change to everything we have ever known, considered or valued, we are in a perfect position to change our reality and create some true magic that will inspire and delight future generations.

It is a gift.

The Yorkshire Retreats have the intention of taking people out of their busy lives and into nature, into quietness, to find laughter, camaraderie, companionship in no words, to find ourselves through nature.

I wish you peace and good health as we all navigate our weekend where we are being asked to Stay Home.

What a honour to serve and protect our country, our healthcare staff and ourselves.

It is tough, any change is difficult.
