Living Gently with Jules

13/04/2026

A little bit of life lately..

Finding my way back to myself.

It’s not been easy, it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done relearning who I am.

Burn out has been my best friend and grief refuses to leave my side.

Not that I would want it to. That’s the price of love.

I’ve done a lot of “positive” thinking and out gratitude-ing grief is not a thing.

There’s no solution to grief.

In the pockets of peace I let myself let go of the fear I grip onto so tightly.

Not on purpose but because I’ve learned to brace for impact, I’m still trying to unlearn it, maybe I never will.

Maybe the answer is to embrace the fear like a child, tender and understanding.

Maybe I don’t really know the answers yet.

I think that’s okay. I think a lot of us don’t have the answers yet.

But I’ll keep trying.

I would encourage you to too.

What’s there to lose when so much has already been lost.

So let’s keep trying together, yea?

Life lately and it’s just me and my girl serving face.

New Year’s Day. It would make sense we would want to set out intentions and plan our resolutions.

Maybe you’ve always felt resistance to that - or maybe you couldn’t commit.

Maybe that was just your deep ancient inner wisdom nudging you.

Reminding you that before calendars and time were created to keep track of it all we were as nature was.

Ebbing and flowing through the seasons.

Just existing as nature existed.

Maybe you remember a time distant from now where we weren’t measured by productivity and goal achieving.

You remember being. Resting.

Maybe you just always knew somewhere in you that this wasn’t the time for new-ness, but to embrace the darkness, and the reasons to stay in and remain cozy.

Then when spring arrives, gently coaxing us out of darkness we feel the urge to create. You weren’t late you were right on time.

Knowing as nature knows all arrives when it’s supposed to.

So you make no excuses to rest because there are none needed.

You know the truth.

You understand the pulse.

You feel the rhythm.

Taking care of yourself when you’re going through it matters. Even small acts of tenderness can shift your whole day. You deserve softness, support, and space to breathe. ✨

Grief changes you, it just does!

That’s not necessarily a bad thing but it is totally wicked scary.

I know because I’m experiencing it. All the newness that the lenses of grief bestow.

Newness we didn’t want or ask for.

So we try to show up the same as before and we find that’s just an impossible task.

It hurts more to show up the same way. Because that version of us were trying to be still doesn’t have their person.

So all the moments we’re desperately holding onto where we get to be who we once were become the reminder of what’s no longer.

So it stings. This awareness. That we’re forced to evolve without our person, evolve into a version of ourselves they won’t get to know.

And so it stings again. We try harder to fit into the box we put ourselves in before.

It doesn’t work. Evolve! Says life.

So begrudgingly we start to. In the small day to day habits. You pour yourself one cup of tea instead of 2. You start cooking for one. You start decorating differently. You notice you perspectives change, the things you thought were a big deal before are nothing.

Good days are electric, bad days are horrific.

It’s all new territory.

You’ve survived the worst and so you persist.

You stop forcing yourself into the box, the warm, safe, cozy box you knew before and slowly start to step out of it. You stop punishing yourself for changing. You start to embrace the possibilities.

Not all at once, no certainly not. But little by little you notice the whisper of peace that allowing yourself to change offers. That allowing yourself to be different sets you free.

You’re allowed to be free.

Taking care of yourself can be so hard! There’s so many things to do, deadlines to meet, responsibilities to tend to and I feel like a lot of times in that chaos the person who gets neglected is YOU!

It takes some effort to the d to oneself, so how are some ways that you do that when life is busy and overwhelming, I can’t wait to read yours in the comments!
