Find time to reflect on where you are.
Take a step back, be objective, and just relax.
Time is precious, so allow yourself enough of it.

Serenity
You may feel as if you are struggling, but you have the strength to get through this.
A swan may seem serene, but beneath the surface it is working harder than you might think.
Reflections
We are reflections of our past.
But reflections can only be seen when the water is calm.
Don’t fight where you come from; choppy waves only make the journey more challenging.
Dappled
The sun will always outlast the rain.
Just because everything seems bleak at the moment, that doesn’t mean it will last forever.
Have faith and belief and you too will ensure.
Stillness
Water is a mirror of our emotions.
When it is choppy, we are inherently unnerved.
When it is calm, we are calmed.
Recognise your connection with nature, because it is a reflection of you.
Calm
Find your inner peace.
Retreat you your happy place.
Have somewhere you can recharge, rejuvenate and take five.
Strength
These are challenging times, but you are strong.
You have the emotional will to get through this.
Be brave, take one step at a time, and you will find the hurdles are not as big at they once seemed.
Dragon
Don’t rise to arguments.
Respect others beliefs, even if they go against your own.
When a battle ensues, take a step back, remain objective and find peace.
Your inner calm will see you through.
Calm
Here in the UK, we are in a partial lockdown, and our opportunities to leave our homes are limited. This includes one lot of exercise per day, and this constitutional is something we will be relishing and making the most of while we can.
The bonus for these walks is that the weather has currently taken a big turn towards spring. While I appreciate that this won’t always be the case, it does mean that we have taken a definite move away from the weeks of rain we encountered earlier in the year.
The walk provides us with an opportunity to connect with nature – to reconnect with it. Roads are quieter and the lack or traffic noise means that our ears are more alert to the sounds of nature around us.
Birdsong seems louder than it did before.
The trees rustling in the breeze hits us more than it did before.
The quiet is deafening, but not in a negative way. It is more of a comfort, heightening the connection we have with the world around us, a connection the ‘normal’ world had deprived us of.
