I entirely overlooked something in this piece: what to do about PHB!
The best thing I've found is instead of dropping down into the feeling of it all being a slog, to stay there for weeks or months or life, to keep open and curious about what it was I loved about the holiday and how I can keep bits of that in everyday life. Over the years it's helped me realise that I need to prioritise time in nature, exercise, deep chats with people I love...
This time, I'm trying to hold on to actually playing with my kids (even just a few balls of cricket or a hand of cards) and enjoying them rather than organising them. So far, so good!
I enjoyed reading this letter Megan. I can relate to the PHB, we are day 2 of the school term here and only a week home from a family bushwalking adventure, so we are all feeling a little flat. Cheers, Kate
Oooh, a family bushwalking adventure sounds awesome! I reckon flatness is to be expected, especially after the long holidays. I'm trying to concentrate on all the things that are good now - lovely weather, weeks without kids around all day, everyday, my own bed... Small but good.
