When is it time to stop and revaluate?

When is it time to stop and revaluate? The pandemic allowed many of us time to do this, others found themselves too busy!

For me, it happened around 7 years ago. I cannot remember what I was doing but I promised myself that every day I would find time to sit quietly for at least a couple of minutes and reflect; not time to make decisions, just time to think.  I very rarely think of nothing, and when I do that’s fine, I have given myself headspace. But usually, something is there that I can mull over and know that tomorrow I will make a better more informed decision, no overthinking, no worrying,

This happened early this morning, a cup of coffee in my hand, still in my pjs and comfy slippers, I sat in my sensory place, the corner of my garden where I am not overlooked and I can hear the birds, it was a little chilly, but the early morning sun was just peeking through the tree to warm me.  From nowhere an old demon sprung to mind, where had that come from?  I realised something had happened yesterday that had obviously given me a little bit of a wobble. It is ok to not always be ok, so I reflected on how I was feeling, how was I dealing with it?

A few minutes later I smiled to myself as I threw the dregs of my coffee onto the garden along with the demon.

It is good to appreciate how far you have come and for me this morning, this is exactly what I did.
