I am a big advocate for saying no to anything that equals busy / jam-packed days and purposely schedule quiet, go-slow days into our weeks xxAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697932926715802541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774795314077577595.post-21203725766195947692015-10-08T03:14:35.778+11:002015-10-08T03:14:35.778+11:00So happy that you are able to find (well, create) ...So happy that you are able to find (well, create) the calm that you need. Calm is something that I should be working on much more than I have. I need more of it my life, for sure.

About 11 years ago I was burnt out from trying to do too much and from trying to be who I thought I should be. I took time out, rested and read a lot. I now know I need to keep my days fairly quiet. I can't have too much on my plate or I start to stress. I focus on keeping my kids happy. I slot in things through my day that make me happy eg. knitting, gardening, reading, stretching. If I feel my stress levels rising I take a step back from what I'm doing, I breath and I take a couple of minutes out to recentre myself. It is a learning process that you adapt over time to suit your needs. Isn't it great when you see you've made progress? I think too, that when you are a bit sleep deprived, you need to step back and spend time nurturing yourself and your babies and always remember that this too will pass. Much love xxooJulie Maloney Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529876368067739360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774795314077577595.post-47285044835485258862015-10-07T05:29:35.378+11:002015-10-07T05:29:35.378+11:00What a lovely journey to calm.
