Isn’t it great to give tea or coffee time to ourselves? No need to run with our disposable takeaway cup in the hand. Just sit back and dip a biscuit in our brew. Homemade biscuits of course

Most of us are sitting at home during the pandemic and we are forced to slow down. I’m in self-isolation more than a week. Some might find hard but I really enjoy this time. I see it as an opportunity to do things I love but not enough time when we are in the business as usual daily loop. I cook, I bake, I do morning yoga and meditation, trying to get back to my sitar lessons. Hubby is working hard from home but it’s a win win for both of us. He is not missing out on meals and I have the time to care of him well. These are the real luxuries of life what we tend to forget at times.

It’s an opportunity to reflect on ourselves. To examine our lives. To see the difference between our wants and needs. To understand that what we want is not always what we need. This is what self-care about. Give yourself what your body, soul, mind needs. Give yourself a hug, nurture and nourish. The gift of time is given. Let’s be kind to ourselves and to others.
