Taking deep breaths

herb garden

This week is going to be pretty stressful because of various work things that are far too dull to go into here.  Suffice to say that my tummy is in knots.  It’s not pretty.

As the weather is so utterly gorgeous I have been combating that stress by enjoying the sunshine and sticking my hands in the soil.  I have sown carrots, beetroot and parsnips and I found the process to be surprisingly calming.  I should, of course, be sitting down with a file on my lap preparing for a big day tomorrow.

Does it still count as work if I read outside in the sunshine with a cold beer?  Maybe not.  But it will, at least, help me to keep my anxiety under control.

    I think it is perfectly justified for you to sit outside in the sunshine especially if it relaxes you

    Hope everything goes ok for your big day. I’m sure a little bit of what you fancy while having to do a lot of what you don’t is very beneficial!

    Hope that your garden offers you the stress relief that you need. I always turn to my garden when I need some peace of mind.
