Monday musings

My Monday thoughts this afternoon include:

• Waking up to a spotless house (after cleaning yesterday) is a joy. I felt instantly organised and ready for the week.

• Never underestimate the power of a good cup of coffee.

• Autumn is very much here but I’m loving the fact I sleep so much better in cooler weather.

• There are times that leaving what no longer brings joy takes too long. However it is liberating when you eventually just do it. For me it was a very overdue leaving of some Whatsapp groups yesterday. I don’t know what took me so long but better late than never. Something that really needs to be normalised asap is leaving an expired or unhealthy friendship. I cannot say how much my stress levels decreased the moment I did this 2 years ago and I won’t apologise for keeping that door closed.

• A lunchtime workout is a great way to de-stress and start the afternoon with more energy.

• Dinner tonight is chicken pasta and we are trying a new dish. Not going according to a recipe - should be interesting!

• It has been ages since I visited a spa for some pampering and I made an appointment for later this week. Super excited!
