Making an effort not to be rushing to things has been a revelation for me. The sense of calm I get from not rushing impacts all of the rest of my day in such a positive way. It’s 💯 an act of self-care, Retreat sounds delicious (having also just been to Greece, making peace with ‘Greek time’ - aka that rather slow and lovely pace - was a huge challenge for lots of people in my group, it took at least 3 days for them to start to unwind into it).

I love your writing and these articles, they always resonate! I often feel that chemo has made me an even worse late person than I already was. Must try harder at all of these. Thank you for sharing!

Same. I'm trying to think of it as 'trying less hard' but I know that's a tricky reframe!

I feel like I need a constant reminder to do it 😂 might start putting travel time in my calendar, then it'll actually happen!
