It’s the end of April – what happened? This is what happened…

Since it seems I completely forgot to post a blog this month I will take a slight detour from the theme of being true to yourself, to outline a big lesson we have learnt in the last few weeks.

This whole year has been a big pile of STUCK – and not just because of Covid either! We have been dealing with a very big issue that I won’t go into here – but please look out for the bestseller! 😉. It has only been through, dogged persistence, (some might say bloody-mindedness!)  keeping going when we should have given up, together with a lot of creative ideas and out of the box thinking that we have found a way out of the situation!

This harks back briefly to the theme of being true to yourself, as we had to demonstrate absolute trust in ourselves – even when everything looked barmy and so did we! We kept going back to check in with our inner truth to check we were on track with what we were doing and not just making stuff up to suit our narrative.  This has been ultimate test in ‘trust yourself’ and we’re not out of the woods yet, but we are finding a way through them.

The interesting thing we’ve noticed as we’ve managed to forge a path out of the maze is that as we have become unstuck so have the people around us.

The thing that was key in the whole saga of these past months, has been to turn away from trying to influence external issues and people and turn inwards instead to work on ourselves – which we had been totally neglecting. Yes, I know we should have known better!

It was at the point that we started to focus on ourselves and what we needed, that everything started to change. We forget that working on self is actually a way of helping others. The people who are connected to us will start to benefit from the effects of that energetic change. We have seen the results of this only recently in our friends and family and it has given us an enormous boost (and kick up the backside for not realising it sooner!).

So, for all those busy people out there who are fighting what might seem impossible circumstances and being drained in the process, remember that in order to create (and keep) balance in your life, you need to look after yourself. Listen to what your body and your inner self are saying to you and put it first. It is very difficult when there are so many demands made on us from every angle, but if you are not in balance then you have little to give to other people anyway and everything will be a lot harder because of it.

So, take a little time to restore yourself, whether that means time out, setting boundaries or doing something therapeutic, so that you can be the beacon of light in the world that you want to be. Remember, investing in yourself is one of the best things you can ever do for others!
