Re-Grounding...

With so much happening over the last few weeks, I have had to come to a complete stop, and reground myself. I get the feeling some times of floating away to far and fast, this is usually when so much is and has been happening in my life and round me. So I took some time to see my psychologist as I had a really bad week with my recovery process, and it allowed me time to just vent everything that was going on, in a place where I felt comfortable and safe. I wasn't really looking for answers to my issues, but just a place an someone to let them out to.

I also realised that its at times like this that I need to take some time to reground myself, re attach my feet to the earth and just quieten myself mentally.

Recently my daughter has been baking up a storm in my kitchen and making some amazing gluten free cupcakes, even gluten free and lactose free cupcakes.  We have also been out getting her some new baking ware to keep her going as she embarks on her pre apprenticeship course in July (your can find her at  http://getbakedcupcakes.blogspot.com). After seeing her so happy and having so much fun baking for everyone to taste her creations and believe me they are amazing, I took my turn in the kitchen last night. I made dinner for everyone and then made gluten free bacon and cheese muffins, it was great to make muffins and actually enjoy eating them. I need to make sure that during the week I take some time to just do something that takes me back to the basics and that I enjoy.

When we get so caught up in every day life and stresses, we need to remember what we can do that is simple but fun, just to break the monotony of our day and do that something that will put a smile on your face and keep that inner fire burning. Finding the things that rejuvenate us, is it being out in the sunshine hiking, baking in the kitchen with the music playing and dancing around at the same time, drawing, playing with your pets and even going picnicking with your family on a beautiful Spring, Autumn, or Summers day? Take the time to find these things out and enjoy the wonderful moments they bring to your life and the time you can just relax and reground yourself to the earth.
