MINDFULLY EXPLORING OVER WINTER

For my Winter wrap-up of my WOTY "Mindful" I thought I'd share some of the small things that caught my interest and resonated with me

SHARING SOME OF THE THINGS THAT RESONATED

The winter months have finished down here in Australia (although the weather is still holding on). For my Winter wrap-up of my WOTY "Mindful" I thought I'd share some of the small things that caught my interest and resonated with me over the last few months. They're fairly random, but that's my life in general these days....

MOVING TOWARDS AN "ALL CARE AND NO RESPONSIBILITY" APPROACH

I was in my 50's before I realized that I could care about people and situations without taking responsibility for everyone and everything.

WHEN TOO MUCH IS TOO MUCH

I'm an oldest daughter - that title comes with an awful lot of baggage that I've carried with me for most of my life. I've always been the responsible one, the one with a plan (and a second plan in case the first plan fails), the one who over invests in other people's issues, the rescuer, the fixer, and the all-round juggler who wants everyone to be happy all the time.

7 SOUL SEARCHING QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION

It's mid-year and time to ask myself a few probing questions to challenge myself to move out of my comfort zone and keep growing.
 

REFLECTIVE THOUGHTS FROM SUBSTACK

A little while ago, Corinne, one of my fellow bloggers who moved to Substack, listed seven questions in her post for reflection. As I'm in the middle of my year of choosing "Mindful" as my inspiration, I thought I'd share them here in case others are interested in doing a little deep dive...

PEACE ARRIVES WHEN LESS BECOMES ENOUGH

Do you notice that there's a strong push to want to add more and more into your life? I hope you can find your sweet spot for what "enough" looks like.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE ENOUGH?

Have you noticed that having enough doesn't feel like it's enough anymore? We all have so much already, but there's always an itch to upgrade, or to replace, or to try the latest model. We're surrounded by people who have more than us - either in real life, or online. There's always something new and shiny competing for our attention.

I often wonder what it would look like if everyone was content with what they already have and decided it was more than enough?
