What is self care?
Sometimes we fully pull it out of the bag for a spot of much needed escapism! ⭐️
These days, my practice is leaning so much more into where and how I can replenish my energy sources. I find after this type of focus ~ anxiety lifts, self criticism subsides and self compassion enhances my self awareness.
What do I really need to fully ground? And what parts of my past are still there, and of use to this process? Rather than to hit the self critize button or use that old bat to beat myself up – these reflections are getting tired, and hopefully with practice somewhat outdated. Bottom line is you don’t need to be fixed. You never did.
Perhaps that release on the dance floor has always been my way to find equilibrium once again! 🪩
In the past Ibiza would have been a very different full on rave experience (which again is perhaps what I needed at the time, and that’s fully ok), and then last time I came I was pregnant with Amaya – taking time to negotiate how I was going to be a mum for the first time?!
This week has been a stunning trip back to St Eulària in Ibiza. One of my happy places, and this time ~ so lucky to be with one of my oldest friends Charlie.
Sometimes we need to reconnect with ourselves, and our true friends on an energetic level which comes from being our true selves – I mean the people who you really share your darkest depths with! No subject unturned 🗣️
I absolutely appreciate the luxury of reminiscing with my dear friend, also to have the break which honestly, was welcome from my beautiful children. I was officially depleted! The cycle of thoughts on a full circle and my poor nervous system (toddlers hey 🫣) on high alert.
To have a meal to simply digest, and a full actual conversation. I find after time anxiety lifts, self criticism subsides – self compassion enhances self awareness , and to enjoy a second glass of wine without interruption is not a phase of my life I’m currently in, and thank absolute goodness do I feel more grounded and lighter for it.
These days I’ve come to realise it really is all about everything in moderation (thanks mum 🕊️) , everything that’s a little bit of you, a little more than just that bubble bath or herbal tea, (and trust me this has been a year of saving/planning – again I appreciate this opportunity, esp since my lovely mum passed, and Sanjivs Parents are in India, these breaks are rare these days!).
Sometimes, I come to think we deny ourselves what we truly need, who we truly are, and energetically what truely resets us. The noise gets too much. The ‘what if’s’ become loud. But what if I truly told you to just go for it, non negotiable ~ to be you, be real – wear all the colours and shine your brightest energy, because with a little space, a little reflection, and a little magic, that glowing aura of self love and compassion is desperate to shine and remind you, you are perfect just as you are, despite the internal and external constraints we love to layer apon ourselves.
Ibiza has been on our hit list for hosting retreats for a while, inline with Goa, but as I’ve promised you, it will happen, just as and when my energy is not so consumed by my stunning children, i really do practice what I share, and tuning into where I need to be, and what helps me shine 🙂 …however, in the meantime I’m pleased to assure you we do have all our contacts and stunning locations/villas planned ☺️ so watch this space ❤️
