T I M E ⏱🌏🌞🌛How do you choose to spend yours? - How to use the limited number of hours in a day can be a big cause of anxiety 😅. We have more "time saving" devices than every before in the history of humanity yet we are always "too busy". 🙀🏃‍♀️☕️☕️☕️🚨⏰😣 - I'm the first to admit a bit of climb every mountain syndrome 🙋Wanting so much to do so many different things & then finding the day is too short or the time mysteriously evaporates or just getting completely wiped out! - Art & Yoga are my professional avenues, great loves & both feel inseparable from who I am. For years people have been advising me to CHOOSE 🤔🤷‍♀️ Art or yoga? Concentrate on ONE thing... sound advice, try not to spread yourself too thin! 😑😬 But I've never been able to choose. I love both, I'm not prepared to let one go. There will be days, months & years where I may focus more on one than the other. If I accept this, I must also accept that I am dividing how I spend my minutes & energy on this Earth further (not to mention family, relationships, sleep, admin & the great multitude of activities that make up a life)... I need to OWN that choice, not resent the things I didn't manage, beat myself up or blame some other exterior factor. - We each make these choices big & small every day:🤔 Do I spend 10 minutes scrolling on the bus or do I read an article, draw a picture, write an email, talk to a friend or just let myself just BE for those 10mins? The likelihood is we can't do all of them something must take priority. I admit I sketch far less since getting a smartphone ✏️😏📱(balancing this in favour of the sketchbook is one of my goals right now 😬). Yet I have chosen to write this post rather than draw right now ☝️ - It felt important to share this as I know I'm not alone in feeling the time pressure in life yet knowing deep down that this pressure is of my own making. Accepting this lightens it somehow. I have to choose each day what I will do with those hours, minutes, seconds. Creating some space in that day is vital🌬 P A U S E B R E A T H E C H O O S E A C C E P T Our time is finite, some mountains will remain unclimbed & that's ok 😎

Leaves 🍃 💚 Having a busy day? Stop & look at some leaves 🙌 Sounds too simple? Always helps for me xx . . . . #greenleaves #plantsrock #leavesareamazing #slowliving

Don't get much time for self practice these days but when I do I have someone laughing at everything I do ❤️ . . . I can't say I'm fully in each pose or that it's time for myself as I always have 1/2 an eye on making sure he's ok but I'm hoping that he's taking it all in & that one day we really will be practicing together! . . . . . #homepractice #yogaeveryday #yogapractice

😋This awaits on Sunday 🌴@palmgreens Netil House. An hour of slow flow yoga followed by a bowl of deliciousness at the lovely @ntloft 🌱🍑🙏 . . . 10am every Sunday with different teachers each week- I have a special one for hips & shoulders planned for this coming Sunday 14th July ✨ . . . . #slowflow #londonfields #vegansoflondon

Looking forward to some country air & family time coming up soon! 🌳🐦🐛 Finding myself craving the slow life more & more these days... I still love London but big horizons just feel so good for the soul 😊 . . . . . . . . #soulfood #space #breatheinbreatheout
