Let’s talk bins…

As it’s Friday, it’s a perfect time to share my garden waste bin with you!

There is a method in this…

Personally, I see plenty of room at the sides of my bin, I can scrunch some more greenery – or not so greenery now! – into. Given that the bin is emptied fortnightly, there’s also time for the stuff at the bottom to compost down a bit – so I’ll get even more in!

This weekend might see you filling your garden waste bins to. So here’s a thought for you.

Do you treat your head the same?

” I’ve room for another task”, ‘I can fit another project in’ ‘I’ve got capacity for more’.

All whilst your soul is composting little by little, your head is starting to feel like it will explode, your family and friends see you slipping away and a shell of the person they love left behind.

Like mine, your garden waste bin will be emptied. But what about your head? Your soul?

Here’s the thing we all forget, no matter our seniority at work, our responsibilities at home and at work, we have one life. This is not a dress rehearsal. It is always later than you think.

Most of us run on automatic pilot putting everything and everyone before ourselves not realising that life is passing us by.

So, if you’ve read this far, I have a challenge for you.

Do one thing this weekend alone that is totally for yourself and brings you joy.

After, recognise how much lighter you feel, how much clearer your head is and how energised your soul becomes.

There is one thing in life you can always control and that is you.

The best of you at home and work comes from nurturing yourself consistently.

So, what challenge are you going to commit to this weekend?

Let me know how you get on
