It's one we've done over a few times, due to either damage or just the simple fact that she's getting older and we want the room to reflect that. This is by far my favourite change and I think it adds so much - follow my home account for more: @sixtytwoonthegrove

Making Time For Me | AD

The last couple of months have been hectic.
Everything I do generally revolves around Isla, or work, or family. As great, and rewarding as that is, there are often times where I feel like I just need half an hour to myself. Where I’m not thinking about anything.

I tend to go to the gym when I feel like this. I was telling Megs about this actually – where I just stick my headphones on, forget that there’s anyone else around and just train. It’s nice. I don’t worry about much else in that hour, and I like to take my time.

With that being said, it leaves my body sore, and aching, and I don’t really feel ‘at peace’ with myself. I don’t feel as ‘pulled apart’ as I’d like to. I needed something that hit the spot but I just wasn’t sure what that was yet. A few weeks ago, Proactiv+ invited myself and some other fab ladies to an afternoon of healthy food at Move Your Frame and Yin Yoga.

The practice of stretching, without exhausting yourself. Slow paced, and un-rushed – Yin Yoga allows you to relax, and move gently.

I’ve always wanted to try yoga, but knowing just how inflexible I was totally put me off. I’ve tried Yoga with Adrienne and just couldn’t get into it; it felt forced, and my form was awful. What was great with Yin Yoga was that it was mainly just on the mat; soft, subtle movements, focusing on your breathing, and the deep slow stretching that your skin and your muscles allow you to do from that.

And that was just the gist of it. Your skin is so important – it’s your biggest organ and it is INCREDIBLE the way it can be manipulated, pulled, pushed, stretched to accompany the way your body and your muscles move. It’s your protection, the outer layer that you need to look after, whether that be on your face or anywhere else.

I felt utterly relaxed, and un-knotted. And I rarely feel like that. I’ve definitely felt like a twenty five year old in a fifty year old’s body recently, but this helped, truly.
Yes... I am not flexible in any way, shape or form, but the deep inhalations and exhalations helped massively for this.
Yes… My form wasn’t great – but being in a class meant the teacher could adjust my body, even when it was uncomfortable; at least I knew it was right because I had a professional right there.

I loved it. And needless to say, although my local gym doesn’t offer Yin Yoga classes, I booked myself straight on to the next yoga class available. It would be tough, but I was willing to take on the challenge – even on my own in something I’d never done before. And again – I loved it.

And now? I go to an hour long yoga class, once a week. Maybe twice if I feel like I really need it. But I always come out fully stretched out and with a totally different perspective on the things I was worrying about before, and I can focus on what I need to do rather than fuss on the negative. I make time for me now, and everything and everyone around me is grateful for that.

If you’re near a class that does Yin Yoga specifically, go try it. Honestly it will change your view on yoga entirely. And if you’ve not tried yoga? Just give it a go – I’ve only been going for a few weeks, and my flexibility has already improved. This might be the start of an incredibly fulfilling journey for you – there is nothing wrong with taking care of your biggest organ and the one that makes you feel like a functioning human too.

I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirr I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirring in my head about lockdown, being a mum, work, even Instagram. They're overlapping and crashing into each other and over me so much that I don't get a minute to come up for air. 

Unexplainable anxious thoughts drizzle over me daily, and I can't figure out why I feel the way that I feel??

I love what I'm posting on here at the moment - I have absolutely no idea where I fall, but I like what I share and I'm constantly fighting myself over whether it's what others want to see vs what I enjoy, but luckily I seem to be winning that battle, even if it's not what people care about.

Right now I can't find a minute to finish any task - not even the small things, and I keep shooting myself reminders that I need to soak all of this time up but I also need a few seconds to breathe because all of this, everything, is SO full on. 

It's all so confusing? I don't know, maybe I need to write a list, perhaps the fog will clear a bit then - but here's a carousel of completely unrelated photos I've taken that I like. ✨
