Episode Summary

Our story continues, as all stories do. We are in! We moved into our new smallholding last week and are starting to get used to being settled after so many months on the road. It’s very strange to put things in a cupboard knowing you won’t have to take it all back out in a matter of days! Moving house and starting yet another lifestyle can be stressful and busy, which is what today's show is all about - "pressing pause" when things get hectic. What do I mean? Have a listen!

Episode Notes

We are in! We moved in to the smallholding last week and are starting to get used to being settled after so many months on the road. It’s very strange to put things in a cupboard knowing you won’t have to take it all back out in a matter of days!
Moving house and starting a new lifestyle can be stressful and is certainly busy. Which is why today’s show is about “pressing pause” when things get hectic.

Many of us find that hard to do. When we’re busy the idea of stopping, taking a breath, checking in on ourselves and foregoing some of the activity isn’t natural. We are used to pushing through, getting it done, painful as it might be. We don’t want to let people down, we don’t want to be slow, we don’t want to admit we can’t do it all (because we can but it requires us to go beyond normal human capabilities).

In this episode I talk about why and how I’m pressing pause... and why you might want to as well.
