Back in March, I took three weeks out from my normal life. I went somewhere new and did new things. The time away left me feeling inspired and excited for a new chapter. I was reminded how much I enjoy being active, working with my hands, exerting physical energy rather than mental energy, and spending time outside. These things make me feel good, so it’s important to make time for them.
It also got me thinking. A lot of my 1:1 life coaching work is done online, with clients in different countries and across the UK. My work also involves marketing, content creation and planning, all from behind a screen. Reiki sessions aside, I spend a lot of time on a computer or mobile, which can drain my energy and leave me feeling funky (not the good kind).
For a while, I’ve been wondering what to do about it. More in-person workshops? More Reiki? Something entirely new? For a long time, that last option felt like failure. But while I was away, I caught myself thinking, “What’s next?” and instead of fear, it felt exciting. I couldn’t ignore that.
So, the question became: do I stick, twist or move on?
The answer I’ve come to is twist. I still love supporting people to clear space mentally, emotionally and energetically, and to move forward in ways that feel right for them. Also, I want to be more active and outdoors. So alongside coaching and Reiki, I’m expanding into home and garden care, supporting wellbeing – mine and yours – in practical ways too.
It can be scary to admit something isn’t working for you anymore, or to try something your inner critic says you have no business doing. But if we don’t try, we’ll never know.
Sometimes it doesn’t take dismantling your whole life, just a small shift towards something that feels lighter, more expansive and more you.
How about you?
Will you stick, twist or move on?
