Two more things…
If you would like to leave feedback for me (I love hearng from you), you can do that in the comments below…
Let me tell you about the big beautiful list of utterly magical things born out of less screen time… you tell me yours in the comments?
The big beautiful list of utterly magical things…
This is the list that emerges out of the ‘new normal’ - see journalling prompts on Day One..
So if might read like provocations or creative to-dos…
Stay on top of my accounts
Sell some things on Vinted
I will stitch my capybara cross stitch
paint my radiator green (and my wall)
re-organise my laundry room
find my book making kit out of my under stairs cupboard
take my 7 dahlias out of their pots and plant them in garden beds - google natural snail deterrent…
I will paint
Declutter
Re start morning pages
Notice more beautiful things
Pick wild flowers
Fix that bald patch in the grass
Learn how to caulk for the upstairs bathroom, maybe paint it too
Phone the decorator to see if he has time to redecorate the dowstairs bathroom
Frame some photos
Ask Dave to put them on the wall
Make more recipes for dinner time that everyone likes
Bake and give some to neighbours…
journal more
connect irl more
Book a massage
Have a beautiful summer with my feet in sand and on grass reading books and magazines and charging myself up for the next quarter…
Book more trains with my daughter to explore places she’s never been (already got London booked)
How about you, what’s landed for you?
I’d love to hear.
Claire

Thank you Claire 🙏 And enjoy 'doing' your list.
Most helpful tip for me was to clean up my inbox into folders, thank you! 🩷🌸✨
Thank you for holding space for us to do this Claire. I’ve noticed the compulsion to grab for my phone when I’m feeling uncomfortable- struggling to find the words when I’m writing or even when an awkward moment comes of the tv.
I knew I was using it to numb my feelings, but this challenge has given me some healthier ways to process my feelings instead (alongside my beloved gardening of course!)
Will do another comment with my new normal list xx
