I am currently entering a scary epoch. I have live

I am currently entering a scary epoch. I have lived my life i the most belligerent of ways telling myself and the world that I am not disabled or chronically ill. That I am not neurodivergent. Not in words but in my actions. I do more I push myself and I refuse to be a slave to the things that hinder me.

I am not going to beat myself up for this I have achieved an awful lot as a result but more and more I am noticing I cannot physically push myself in the same way to be 'normal'. That pain and exhaustion are becoming harder to fight and some days impossible and it is scaring me. What will I not be able to do in the future. Will my aging body coupled with chronic illness and disability steal things from me, will it be crafting, my memories or the ability to type, as a writer that last one is important. I feel sad and frightened at the prospect of loss.

This morning i really need my #100goodthings today it is the beauty of the morning fog and inverted clouds.

A little bit of #autumn has spilled onto my mantle.
Is everyone else feeling a little bit all over the place. As a linchpin of the family I often take it upon myself to make everything okay. With winter/Christmas about to lookl very different I am on overdrive to make everything nice and be upbeat and reframe everything as well as make up for lost revenue with a constant business pivot.

I think mindset is important but there is only so much you can do with re frame. And quite frankly trying to be the queen of all happiness for the family is fucking exhausting at times.

I listened to one of my fave episodes of The Good Life Unravelled the other other day @elizabethdhokia spoke to Catherine May. Her book Wintering talks about leaning into it and accepting that shit times have to happen and we can't postitive our way out of everything, I am massively paraphrasing.

In other news my day 2 of #100goodthings was watching the children play in the park and giggling

Sebastian has struggled this year so we started to

Sebastian has struggled this year so we started to make a list with him about why 2020 has been a great year. It is really helping him. Then this morning I wake to see on @javabere (one of my favourite local souls) stories that @mother.nature.moon has started a new hashtag #100goodthings as there are 100 days left of 2020. Amending as actually @letourselvesplay started this hashtag. I feel lile i am playing Kevin Bacon what lovely connections are made via people sharing

I work so hard with the kids on growth mindset and reframing stuff, mostly as Sebastian more so than Humphrey is an anxious boy. In all of this I often forget to do that shit myself. So in a bid to practice what I preach here is my first 100 good things.

1. This morning was beautiful as the frost on the hills was made golden by the bright sun rising and it reminded me the joy of sunny winter days.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are bracing ourselves for dark days, long nights and an inability to visit and spend time with people without breaking the law, well certainly in the UK the last one is true.

Winter months are hard for so many and add in the isolation and we are reaching crisis point in terms of mental health problems even for those who do not have a mental illness.

The number of suicides in August was higher than covid death in the UK that is how serious mental health problems are.
I am currently working through what I think the best advice is to offer for how we can make sure those in our community and social circle are okay but it is not going to be an easy fix and it won't be fixed with zoom.

I know from experience it is easy to hide from people and trick people that I am fine and how much easier that would have been when someone who is concerned cannot easily doorstep me. Yes I know we technically can but when it is ingrained in us not to visit not to connect we are less likely to make that move.

So many vulnerable people have their usual support networks stripped from them and cold dark fays when even many outside options are no longer an option will only exacerbate this.

What are your thoughts on how we can make sure we can step up for people throughout winter?
