Day 1369 a mindful trip to the sea 🌅🌊

I’m finding the blog a chore when I don’t feel 100%.

I’m fairly certain I’m not sick, but I’m creating some kind of weird tension in my body because I’m unsettled, out of balance.

I’ve learned to be very in tune with how I feel. I guess I overanalyse everything too.

I’ve had a headache for 3 days now and nothing is taking it away. Even typing that is giving it power over me. I’ve been telling anyone who will listen. I’m making such a big drama out of something that’s actually nothing.

All because I feel a bit low.

At lunch I saw this:

I read this over and over and felt the headache ease off. I realised that my jaw was clenched as it slowly started to relax, my shoulders relaxed down from my ears.

Is it that simple? Am I creating it all? And I think the answer is yes.

I’ve had an amazing January so far… I wanted to keep my head up the whole month and for some reason it’s slumped a bit. I feel restless, antsy, looking for direction. My mind screams that life is short and I should travel, travel, travel….. 🙄😆

So I went to the sea and it helped a bit because it was beautiful. I couldn’t stay long as it was bitterly cold and I didn’t have the warmest gear on.

The sky was absolutely stunning.

Spot the tanker perfectly positioned on the horizon. If I’d got away from work bang on time he’d have been right in front of the setting sun.

I suddenly noticed a squall moving down the Isle of Arran.

It was really dramatic. I took loads of photos but I think these were some of the best.

I’ve also never walked on frosty sand before. It was hard going as it was quite solid and we expect sand to give way when we walk over it. Very pretty though.

So I’ve given myself a shake, a dust down. Blew some cobwebs away at the beach and have blurted it all out.

We can’t always feel on top of our game.

Life isn’t always perfect and doesn’t always go our way.

We can set off with the best of interiors and have a million things disrupt our path.

The key is how we respond and I hope I’m back on track with that.

And this…… oh yes, this. Way too much drama being created this week.

And relax.

And go meet the crochet hookers!!

I’ve 4 minutes to get changed, pick up my crochet and head into the pub next door.

Stay safe everyone 🧶🧶🧶
