I’ve just watched day one and wanted to share what has brought me here so I can keep track of my journey. I share stuff about Betty occasionally on social media but often think “who really cares?!”. Birdy said this community cares so here we go! 😂
I have just started my own business and am currently working two jobs. I want to make a big life change but in order to do this the transition period has left me feeling so burnt out with no time for myself.
I am a real doer, I like to keep busy and I enjoy growth, progression and a challenge. I don’t sit down often and I have found it increasingly difficult to be present as my to-do list grows. I feel as though I have reached a point now where, when I do have spare time, I feel lost and there are almost too many things I want to do so, I try to half do everything. I’ve always enjoyed mediation and I love practicing yoga but often it feels like another thing on my to-do list. I love the idea of doing a dog check and being more dog! Over the course of this journey I want to grow my ability to be fully present with my dog and my family and then grow this into other areas of my life.
Yesterday after a busy weekend I took Betty for a walk and when we reached the park, she laid down in the sand and wouldn’t move. I asked her if she wanted to do some training and she said no. It was the excuse I needed to sit and just be. This morning I stopped to admire the flowering cherry blossom tree 🌸
