Moments For Me - Edition 2 - Finding Peace in the Present


MOMENTS FOR ME

Edition 2/2024

Hi there,

It’s wonderful to have you back for another edition of Moments For Me.

This week, I had the absolute joy of attending my youngest daughter’s graduation—she’s officially got her bachelor’s degree! With my workload piling up lately, stepping away from it all was such a good reminder to just be in the moment and soak up these special times.

Today, let’s focus on finding peace in the present and embracing our true selves, one gentle step at a time.


Moment #1: Self-Compassion 💛

Whenever you catch yourself spiralling into self-criticism, pause. Ask yourself, "Would I speak this way to a friend?" If the answer is no, take a deep breath and try again, but with kindness.

Moment #2: Authentic Living 🌱

Listen to your inner voice today. What is it that you truly need or desire? It might be rest, creativity, or connection. Honour that need, even in a small way.

Moment #3: Simple, Loving Act 🕯️

Indulge in a comforting ritual today—whether it’s sipping your favourite tea, wrapping yourself in a cosy blanket, or listening to music that soothes your soul. Let this be a moment just for you.


I hope today’s moments bring a little more peace and kindness into your day. Keep nurturing these small moments of self-care and authenticity. You deserve them.

Take care until next time.

Emma 💞

MOMENTS FOR ME Edition 14/2024 Hi there, I'm so glad you’re here for another Moments For Me. I've been having some work done on my house lately to make repairs after a water leak a year ago.
