Week 5: Something New

Week 5: Something New

To forgive is divine…

In the aftermath of a family emergency, I have to confess my mind was not in the mood for well-being. Although it should have been my haven during the crisis, the Live Well plan got sidelined as I used any spare resources to function in everyday life. But such is the way in a calamity. Focus narrows to ensure the necessary gets done. Nurture takes a back seat to the more exigent need to survive.

And so I confess, I didn’t adopt a new activity this week. My bad. But in a way (and this is a fudge, I grant you) I did try something new this week in the sense I took some time off, away from obligations and self-imposed deadlines. And I didn’t beat myself up about not having a piece to offer you on a Sunday night.

Self-compassion is definitely something new for me and probably the very essence of living well.

But normal service will be resumed next week for the last week of the Live Well plan - I promise!
