noun: ease
absence of difficulty or effort - a state of feeling comfortable
I am on a mission to live my life with ease… so much so, I’m the founder of a small business called Ease Retreats. Where I champion hosting a variety of writing and wellness retreats with ease. I facilitate the perfect environment in beautiful abodes with best selling authors and broadcasters. Each retreat offers a relaxing, cosy and safe space for my guests, an experience I’ve created because I crave it for myself.
I’ve always had a DOING attitude - if you can’t find it, CREATE IT.
So today ladies and gentlemen, I’m writing to you from ease …with ease.
If you’ve been following my journey on here recently, you’ll have noticed I’ve changed my Substack theme at least three times this month. I do wonder what that’s all about?! Wondering why I’m in such a hurry to settle on a particular topic or theme for my Substack newsletter. A busy mind needs an output to dump all the ideas surely? Thank you Substack.
I guess it’s because I have so many creative ideas, so many stories to tell, so many unanswered questions, that I find it challenging to stick to just one topic.
I had a lovely reply to my previous post yesterday, suggesting that I should write about a variety of topics. How right she was. A beautiful solution to my problem. So simple. So obvious. So doable. Thank you Gabrielle Treanor, your thoughtful advice and guidance was most appreciated.
This weekend, I’ve decided to stop over thinking themes and topics. I’ve decided to write about what I do best. Building a community and connecting likeminded souls that are on a similar journey to me - in search of an ease:y life.
I’m curious to know if you live your life with ease. Is it something you do well and consistently? Are you on a mission like me, to focus on a slower pace to life. Perhaps it’s not so much your whole life, but something you love to do with ease, such as writing, baking, sewing, sea swimming, drawing or dancing with ease. Please do leave a comment if this is something you can relate to
I recently journaled about how I should start my day with ease.
Here are the 3 easy steps:
- set your intention to do something relaxing today - even for just 10 minutes
- take action - when you’re connected to the one thing you find joyful, you’ll achieve a sense of calm
- live in the present moment, start morning pages - a wonderful writing practice curated by Julia Cameron author of The Artists Way - which I highly recommend.
I’m hoping I’ll stick to my theme… with EASE… and for the foreseeable future.
Until the next
Take care & stay safe
Tanya
