MEDITATION⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀

MEDITATION⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you meditate? I do off and on, especially when I need to calm my mind or stop the buzzing that goes on when I am stretched/out of alignment/tired. It doesn't take me long to listen to a guided meditation to feel better/more myself/rested.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today over on the podcast, I've given you a version of my Spring Season meditation. Something to dive into when you are in your Spring and need a bit of love for yourself, a bit of comfort. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Link in my bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me, do you meditate? And meditation is not just sitting super still with nothing going on in your brain-it is fluid, just like life :)

WEEKEND⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WEEKEND⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's on your plans this weekend?! Yes, I know it is Saturday and the weekend is almost over (unless it is a Bank Holiday for you in the UK!). I am working REAL hard at disconnecting on Sunday and I do think it may be a good idea to delete the Instagram app on that day?! Does anyone do that? Let me know what is on your plans this weekend and how you disconnect and re-fill your cup!

It's OK to Not Be Ok. Let's talk a bit about overw

It's OK to Not Be Ok. Let's talk a bit about overwhelm snd giving yourself some grace....

WORDS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A bit of a segway from Menstrual Cycle Awareness today. I wanted to talk about words and our stories. We all have stories and journeys we are on. Some we want to be on and others that we don't. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And a huge part of our stories is the words we use. Every day we use them to describe ourselves, others, our circumstances. Have you ever noticed the power in your word? The power to inflict pleasure or discomfort? To bring about hope or despair? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Words are magical and it is so important that we feel the full weight of what we say. Ever heard the saying 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me'? That's because words DO hurt. They DO break down walls or build them. They DO wipe away carefully curated rainbows. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So let's all be a bit more mindful of our words and how they can bring about magic, mmkay? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

BREATHE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

BREATHE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And some days, all we can do is breathe...We think something is one way and we realise it isn't. We realise it is the opposite of what we thought and that is ok. We can just breathe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CUE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our bodies talk to us every day. Most of us, however, have gotten very good at not listening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has become normal to feel tired all of the time or to have pain here or there. It has become normal to sleep badly and to be cranky. But none of that is normal when it happens all of the time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over on the podcast (link in bio!) we talk about self-care in our Spring Season ( I know, I know, self-care is SO battered around these days but I promise, my definition is different!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go on over and have a listen and let me know what kind of self-care you are going to partake in during your Spring season! I am going to clean all the baseboards....

SELF CARE IS OVERRATED⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SELF CARE IS OVERRATED⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Monday's podcast is all about Self-Care in your Spring season...and you know what? I think the traditional idea/definition of self-care is overrated. What, I hear you gasp!? I do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I mean, honestly, what do YOU think of when you hear that term? I think massages, saunas, relaxing. And you know what? Not all of that is relaxing to me, or to others. I figure if we are going to do shit to fill up our cups to overflow (yes, still not tired of that quote) then we should at least ENJOY it. So think about it. What makes your soul sing or your heart shimmy? What makes you go all goosebumpy with excitement? Once you tap into that, your self-care won't be overrated any longer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go up to the links in my blog to get a few of my ideas on my kind of self-care and head over to the podcast on Monday for ways to minimise overwhelm and burnout-two common occurrences when we do too much in our Spring season due to the increased energy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SOMETIMES Y'ALL NEED TO WAIT⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am not going to get profound. I am pretty sure this quote speaks for itself. Sometimes I need to rest and sometimes you need to wait.

SACRED REST OR WHATEVER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SACRED REST OR WHATEVER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-care is a huge buzz word and has been for quite some time. And I think a lot of us DO practice a form of self-care. What I don't think we practice enough of is rest. (Psst! If you want some great talk around rest go visit my dear friend @heymargaretjames!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, though, rest is the act of moving slowly on a morning, of getting up, stretching, making my coffee, and getting back into bed to read and wake up slowly. It is leaving a few minutes earlier so that I don't have to power walk to school. It is not overloading my already overloaded brain with too much chatter and thought about things I can't control. It is getting outside in the garden to breathe in the fresh air and (if I am lucky!) feel the sun on my face. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can find rest in many different ways throughout our day...how do you find rest? We will be chatting about self-care in our Spring season over on the podcast (release date Monday the 19th!) Let me know how you find rest in the comments...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can Stress Stop Your Bleed?. It was a LONG day of podcast recording so ignore my not looking at the camera 😆 AND saying menstrual cycle. Stress CAN mess with your cycle and even halt your bleed. Tis we so many women saw disruption during the first lockdown and beyond!

OTHERS AND YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE-A CONVERSATION⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you feel about that, eh? Is that something you do? Talk to your partner about your cycle? If you don’t, it is something you should get into the habit of. Highly recommend. And I know it can be embarrassing and weird and all sorts of cringe but you know what? It doesn’t have to be. Your menstrual cycle is as natural as you and I and not something that should be hidden away.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head over to the blog to read more about my thoughts on how to do this and WHY it is important. My IGTV gives a bit of insight, too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How to Talk to Your Partner About Your Cycle. Great question! A short version of my thoughts on this BUT a blog post coming on Friday!

PERIOD

At the mention of the word 'period', I watch him pale and look away.

At this, I wonder, when did the world become such a place that men are embarrassed by the most natural function of a womb, when they had once called womb a home.

VALUES

One thing that I was shown over and over again during 2020 was how out of alignment I was with what truly mattered to me. You know what I mean, that shit that REALLY gets you going.

It was one of the main reasons I decided to start 'Sarah Explains It All'. Talking to people, creating that community (connected community is a value, y'all), EDUCATION (another value, fyi). My desire to truly reach women and girls and aunts and grandmas and dads and uncles kept pushing its way to the front of my mind.

I don't HAVE to have huge coaching programmes to make a difference, I don't have to have a million followers. What I do want to have is a clear line of communication to help women understand and befriend their bodies. Something I think very few of us do in this Insta Filter life we lead...

Thats why this podcast will touch on ALL things that effect women. No subject is too taboo or off limits. And you know if I don't know, I will search for someone who does. #connectedcommunity

Tell me 1 burning question you have and I'll add it to my list to be addressed on the podcast!

What the heck is your podcast all about?!. Today,

What the heck is your podcast all about?!. Today, let's chat about Sarah Explains It All Podcast!

SHAME BREEDS IN ISOLATION⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am sure this is a Brene quote. Does anyone know? I digress. Or, as @heymargaretjames said, the quote could be 'Shame grows in silence'. Regardless, the idea is the same, no? It's a @resttoriches quote!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shame. Now that is a doozy of a word. Here's a definition:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behaviour.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And another:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*a regrettable or unfortunate situation or action.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hands up if you have ever felt shame. Hands up if you have ever known someone feeling shame? Yes, mmhmm, we've ALL felt shame at some time or another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And shame definitely breeds in isolation. If we stew over the situation and we allow ourselves to wallow (now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good wallow every now and again) we make that shame worse. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know what your shame triggers are? Some of mine are around mamahood, worth, success. And boy, they use to hit HARD a lot. Brene obvs talks a lot about this but the trick for me to stop the spiral? To talk to someone I trust about it. I also ask myself if the negative thought is true. Most of the time I am able to note that they are not true and, if those thoughts and that spiral continues-I reach out to someone I trust. And let's be honest, this shit takes practice. And a lot of mess-ups along the way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember, some things you can do when you are in a shame spiral:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*Talk to yourself like you would your best friend⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*Reach out to someone you trust⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*Share your shame-it canNOT grow when it is spoken and being met with empathy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know your triggers? How are you at stopping your shame?
