My Summer Permission Slip

what I'm letting go of heading into this season 🌞

I shared recently on IG that I’ve been spending a lot of time going inward and thinking very intentionally about how I want to spend my time, where I want to spend it and how I want to feel each day. I have been really focusing on paying attention to what feels good, what drains me, what energizes me, and where I need to adjust. I have been prioritizing my mental and physical health ruthlessly, spending time each day moving and fuelling my body in the way I know it makes me feel my best. I’m doing all of this unapologetically. I’ve been trying, through these moments, to find clarity, yet at the same time, just listen to what is coming up for me. Whether it be with family, my career, friends…my goal is to listen to the whispers before they become screams.

I recently did a journaling exercise to help me cultivate the energy I am hoping to live in this summer. Below is what I came up with as my “summer permission slip” when I find myself feeling guilt around productivity and “doing” just to feel busy. I’m reminded during this time where my kids are around more that everything has a season, and I want to lean into the slowness of this one.
