November’s mantra
November Check-In: NOURISH
Less hustle, more care.
Feeding my body, my mind, and my nervous system - because surviving isn’t the same as being nourished.
November felt busy in that slightly scrappy, in-between way. The first festive markets of the season kicked off, which meant early starts, packing the car, long days chatting to lovely humans - and a lot of travelling in between.
Nourish, this month, wasn’t about perfection. It was about trying.
Trying to show up for myself at the gym when I could.
Choosing walks when my head felt noisy.
Stealing little pockets of seaside time with the wolf.
It also meant keeping one eye on the slippery slope into “fuck it, it’s Christmas” mode - enjoying the odd drink, but not letting November turn into a write-off before December even began.
Some days I nailed it. Some days I didn’t.
But I kept coming back to the question: what would actually help right now? And more often than not, I listened.
That feels like nourishment too.
December’s mantra is Do It Anyway - and after November, that feels less like pressure and more like permission.
I don’t need to feel ready. I just need to keep going.
