RuskaTherapy

It’s been a while since I’ve written a little reflective number.

This one feels like a very pivotal one.

Lately I’ve been sitting with a realisation that feels both uncomfortable and incredibly freeing.
I’ve spent years defending things that never needed defending.

My warmth.
My love.
My softness.
My simplicity.
The way I choose to parent.
The way I choose to work.
The way I choose to move through the world.

Somewhere along the way, I began to believe these things needed justifying.
As though they weren’t enough on their own.

So I explained myself.
I over-explained myself.
I sought understanding.
I sought approval.
I sought permission.
Not consciously.
But I was doing it all the same.
And it was exhausting.

What I’ve come to realise is that whilst there have been people who didn’t always understand me, I was the one continuing to put my life on trial.
Gathering evidence.
Building a case.

Trying to prove that my way of being was worthy.
All the while giving away energy that could have been spent actually living.
Creating.
Loving.
Being present.
Simply being myself.

These days, I’m choosing something simpler.
Less defending.
More living.
Less proving.
More creating.
Less striving.
More belonging.

Because perhaps for the first time in my life, I’m beginning to understand that my worth does not live in other people’s approval.

It lives here.
Within me.
And that feels like such a gift.

He’s to the honour, that is aging! 🤎

With love, aways.

Seasonal living is a framework.

Your own rhythm is the truth.

Nature can offer invitations.
But not instructions.
For example, summer might invite:

☀️ Expansion

☀️ Creativity

☀️ Connection

But if your nervous system is saying:
Actually, I need grounding.

then that’s your wisdom. 🤎

Think about nature itself.
Not every tree behaves identically.
Not every flower blooms at the same time.
Not every animal follows exactly the same rhythm.

Nature isn’t uniform.

It’s diverse ✨

Nature offers invitations, not instructions.

🍂 If you stopped following the season and started following your own rhythm, what might change?

I can’t wait to spend some time in the woodland again! 🌳🔥🎵

Is anyone else looking to go?

Sharing a little poem I wrote recently 🤎

Expanse.

The place I call home.
The place I feel whole.
The place I feel held.
The place I let go.

Expanse.

For all the wisdom you hold, I feel it through my bones whenever I am with you.
You are not just a landscape.
You are a whisper of belonging.

A reminder that I am part of something larger than myself.
When the world feels crowded with noise, expectation, and striving, I return to you.

To the sea.
To the sky.
To the horizon.
To the breath between thoughts.

And there I remember.
I do not need to earn my place.
I do not need to prove my worth.
I belong.

Not because I have achieved.
Not because I have succeeded.
Not because I have been chosen.
I belong because I am here.

Expanse.

You have been with me my whole life.
In the clouds above a garden swing.
In the sky beyond a car window.
In the silence beneath a parachute.
In the water holding my body afloat.
You have always been waiting.

And every time I meet you, I come home to myself.

Slow down. Soften. Return to yourself. 🤎

Imagine arriving in the woods and knowing that for the next five hours there is nowhere else you need to be. No-one else you need to be. Nothing else you need to do.

Tea waiting.

Birds overhead.

The warmth of the sauna.

Cold water on your skin.

Good food shared around a table.

A blanket around your shoulders.

Space to exhale.

Space to soften.

Space to simply be.

This is your invitation to slow down and return to yourself.
