I loved this post Niamh. My plans and schedule can sometimes take over so much of my brain space that I forget to just be in the moment. I am frantically thinking ‘what can I do next?’ or ‘how can I make the most of my time?’ which is also when I’m on the edge of burn out. Thank you for the reminder to slow down and be more present.

I get like this all the time. It's a horrible mindset to be in but once we are kinder to ourselves we get on better!

Having no plans on the weekend used to create so much anxiety for me! I’ve reframed this though to embracing that time and using it for me! Spending time resting, reading, creating and whatever else I feel like doing in the moment. I remind myself that a year from then I might not have the luxury of that time to myself, therefore enjoy it while you have it!

i LOVE having no plans - deciding to drink later is an afterthought - but 25 and love cancelling these days
