🌟 Hello lovelies! And happy Monday. 🌟
It’s just over a week since we wrapped up the 5x5 Everyday Mindfulness Challenge. It was such a pleasure to practice mindfulness in daily life with you.
💖 Apologies that I’ve been somewhat MIA since then (as far as Weekend Reads essays go - you’ve still received Wellbeing Wednesday each week.) 💖
I’ve been feeling pretty burnt out and keep being felled by office germs! 🦠
October is my final month with my employer after 15+ years, and with just two weeks on the countdown clock, there’s so much to get done! ⏱🤪
I’ve not had the headspace to produce quality writing, so rather than sending you drivel, I’m taking a sabbatical from essays this month. Normal service will resume in November!

Ideas from ashes 🔥
The silver lining to this spate of burnout was some inspiration for a new series.
While under the weather, I’ve taken space to slow down and ponder: journalling, pulling oracle cards, thinking about what I want from my new life as a solopreneur.
This time for self-reflection was a small luxury and quite restorative.
I enjoyed it so much that I decided that from now on, I’ll start the week with intention, by focusing on a reflective prompt.
And then I figured, why keep this practice to myself? Why not bring you along for fun?
Welcome to Monday Magic 🪄
So here we are! This new series will be a bit of an experiment.
Each Monday, I’ll share a reflective prompt to get you thinking as you start your week. 💭
In the spirit of simplicity, knowing how time-poor we all are, and what a rush Mondays can be, I’ll keep the prompts bitesized.
If you enjoy them, please let me know and I’ll keep the series running!
This week’s prompt
So without further ado, here’s our first prompt:
What do I need this week to nourish my body and soul?
For me, nourishment will centre around balance: taking enough time for rest, for fun, for fulfilment, and making sure I say no to things that don’t serve me.
I’d love to hear any reflections you have on this prompt. 💬
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,
