This week I wrote about taking the time: to slow down, to build with intention, and to focus on the long term.
Lately I’ve been revisiting old research from my Ph.D., thinking about how much we gain when we give things the time they need.

My buyers are now tourists, not runners. We can actually enjoy the viewings instead of sprinting through them. #SlowDown #metaciya

Learn daily, read something, take time for yourself, live in the present, slow down, and do something simple. These habits of disconnecting from the rat race of life for a moment help you reconnect to what really matters to you 👌

Niedrigeres #Tempolimit ist für die Sicherheit von Fußgänger:innen sehr wichtig, insbesondere für ältere. Die Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit ist bei einem Unfall für über 60-Jährige mehr als doppelt so hoch, wenn das Auto nur 30 statt 50 km/h gefahren ist. #slowdown

I just sent an email to a client to tell him I can't work with him (purely because of time -- the client is lovely and his story is great).

I feel so guilty but I've found a really good editor to work with him (a friend and colleague) who can start right away. Hopefully they'll click and it works out for both of them.

I know the hustle is just bad for my mental health, and I need to sleep more and rest more, and I really truly don't have the time with the family obligations, but omg it is so HARD to reject work and money (even when the work is going to make life even more chaotic than normal and the money will not make up for that)

Sigh

Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Autumn is the season that teaches us change can be beautiful 🍂 Summer has faded, leaving behind golden sunsets and long, hot busy days. Now autumn arrives, wrapping the world in crisp air and amber light. Conkers thud satisfyingly to the ground still slick from their spiky shell and thrown into pockets, sticks are wielded like swords and puddles and leaf piles become irresistible playgrounds. The stream runs cold and clear, edged with moss and the scent of damp bark. Fallen leaves - crisp, curled and copper-toned - carpet the paths, rustling under boots and wellies. Shop windows shift with the season too, dressed in amber tones, pumpkins and lanterns, mirroring the beauty outside. Family walks are 'encouraged' to keep screens away but before long, tiny hands are busy collecting acorns and treasures from the woods. Laughter (and whinging) mingles with the crunch of leaves, the splash of puddles and the quiet joy of autumn’s little wonders 🍁"

"Que no queremos ir a las tiendas, que preferimos ir de excursión. Que echamos de menos los encuentros casuales que aparecían como troncos de madera flotando, ya que había que seguir en el mar."

I've spent the last 5 days going home to family and friends in Germany. Following almost no news. What have I missed? Nothing, I suppose 😉
