I keep having #dreams that I'm pregnant..... 🤰 I keep having #dreams that I'm pregnant..... 🤰 three times this week so far. Last night involved me trying to do sit ups while heavily pregnant. . I would just like to point out that I really do NOT want to be pregnant. I am 100% done with babies. So I looked up what it could mean.... . Turns out dreaming about being pregnant means that a new side of you is emerging or that a new part of your life is about to start and that you're anxious about it. I mean christ.... how accurate is that!?!? . I've also got my own theory (obvs - creative overthinker and all that) that maybe my body is craving being pregnant because I've hit #perimenopause and it realises my ovaries are rapidly reaching their sell by date. . Either way, here's a piccie of me and my antenatal group when I was actually pregnant over 13 whole years ago. I'm the one in the white, second down the line.
Anyone else's phone make lovely little collages ou Anyone else's phone make lovely little collages out of their recent photos for them? #meandmydog
SELF COMPASSION . Not that you need to know this, SELF COMPASSION . Not that you need to know this, but I've just hopped onto my period tracking app and seen that I've gone a whopping 3 weeks without a #period This is HUGE!!! Prior to starting on HRT it felt like throughout an average month I was bleeding more often than I wasn't. So I'm sure you can get why this means so much to me. Like I said, HUGE 😁 . If things run according to plan I'm due maybe end of this week/beginning of next and that would totally explain why I found this morning's #run slightly tougher. My boobs are feeling a bit achy, I've just generally got less energy, and my legs are starting to feel heavy. But I know this now. I've started paying attention to what my body is telling me and I act accordingly. . Taking things slightly steadier isn't a weakness. It's about continuing to enjoy the exercise you do. Not forcing through it, but doing what you can, and then scaling things down when and if you need to. THAT is intuitive movement. THAT is what I love. THAT is why I continue to get out there. . Recognising when you need to cut yourself some slack and to show real #selfcompassion is no easy task. It's taken me years, and let's be clear here I'm still no expert. Some days I'm bloody horrible to myself. But today wasn't one of those days. . Today I was kind. Today I was full of all the smiles. Today I was in tune with myself. Today I was content. Today I felt positive, strong, capable, and like I've got a grip. . On a morning as beautiful as this, it would be a crime not to climb up to the Poet Stone. Last time I came up here, was when I had a good old cry, and I didn't want it to become this place that that's all I do there. That it becomes a place I associate with sadness and negativity. Because I am more than those emotions and I bloody love it up here. . I know I will still have rocky weeks, but now I can also see that these pass and that I emerge radiant and stronger each time. And that all I can do is go with the flow and support myself along the way.

Guess what I got up to this morning??? . Unless yo Guess what I got up to this morning??? . Unless you actually know because I've told you, I don't reckon you'll have a clue. So here goes... For a long while now I've been suffering from #anxiety This has slowly but surely built up over the weeks and obviously my friends and you lot have started to notice - I mean I'm hardly discreet about it right 😜 . Anyways, a very good friend of mine took me out for a dog walk and a chat last week and she suggested I think about volunteering. I'll be honest, at first I was unsure. In my mind I was like why the hell would I give up my time and not be paid for it!?! But, as I do, I let the idea sit with me, let myself mull it over and I realised she was right. . As much as I love my job as a writer, it is also a very lonely career. It can become quite insular and isolating and not a particularly healthy space to be in when you're an overthinker like me. It has it's rewarding moments don't get me wrong, but it's not like people depend on me. And I guess where my kids are growing up it feels like I'm needed less and less, so my sense of purpose has taken a bit of a battering. . This midlife bit I'm realising is about reassessing who we are and what we want. As a kid I always wanted to be a vet and a writer - I'd spend ages making up stories about my pets and turning them into books. And I still love writing more than anything, but there is a bit of me that pines for the animal side of things too. . So, I took the plunge and contacted @hartwildliferescue to see if they needed any help. Fast forward to today.... where I did my first #volunteering which involved helping to look after the hedgehogs in their 'Hogspital', meeting new people, and doing something I never thought I'd get the chance to do. . It gave me a sense of purpose. It took me out of my comfort zone. It got me out of the house and away from a screen. And it allowed me to focus on jobs that had the consequence of letting me escape my own head for a few hours. Something that was very much needed!
OVERSHARING . It's really difficult to know someti OVERSHARING . It's really difficult to know sometimes whether I should share stuff on here or not. On the one hand, I want to help people by expressing what I'm feeling and going through, so that it may possibly strike a chord with others and make them feel less alone. But on the flipside, I also don't want people to worry about me. . Writing stuff down on here is totally my way of getting it all out if you like, my #therapy I'm pretty shit at doing it in person, so it kinda feels like this is my next best option. But in doing it this way I get that I may be inadvertently alienating those I really care about. Something for me to work on for sure. . I guess I'm a dichotomy - both an open and closed book all at the same time. Happy to open my pages on here, but slammed shut and locked in the real world. For whatever reason, I just never seem to be able to find the right words when I speak to people, and will sometimes almost rehearse what I'm going to say in my head beforehand. Which as I'm typing this makes me realise how ridiculous this sounds, but it's just who I am, and I'm not really sure I'll ever change that about myself. . I've made a few decisions this week about what to do to overcome this blip on my landscape. Because that's what it is, a blip. And I can manage dealing with a blip. It may at times trip me up, but it will not define or defeat me. This girl is much stronger than any blip 💪
