A post to describe why I have ‘the feeling’, which we can all find through a different blend of ingredients and activities.

My feeling is a mix of relief, relaxation, optimism and excitement. It’s a sense of calm, rather than ‘dancing around the kitchen’. But I feel good.

This is how I achieved it:

• My head is clear because I’ve been writing a lot recently so I’ve worked though a number of obstacles and I understand myself better now.
• One of those head knots was the feeling of being trapped, that’s now gone.
• I have a plan for the future that I’m excited about.
• My loved ones are in a good place and I’ve been spending more time with them whilst off work.
• I don’t have a huge to do list for today.
• I feel fit and healthy because I’ve invested time in good nutrition and well considered exercise.

Reflecting on that list, it mainly comes down to:

• Self-care
• Having a plan
• Being with loved ones
