Yesterday morning, as we gathered together for our Power of Eight, something really lovely happened. Although we each arrived with our own intentions, our own challenges and our own things going on in life, there was a common thread running through most of the things we shared. Many of us were tired. Not just a little tired, but that deep exhaustion that comes from juggling so much, caring so much and trying to keep everything moving forward. There were lingering colds, sleepless nights, bodies asking for a little more rest and minds that had been working overtime. And beneath all of that, there were some really important shares about the way we live our lives. About giving so much of ourselves to others, sometimes without receiving the recognition or financial reward that reflects the value of what we offer. About projects and dreams that are waiting patiently in the background while we attend to everybody else's needs. About learning to switch off, putting our phones down, protecting our evenings and holidays, and giving ourselves permission to enjoy our lives rather than constantly feeling we should be doing something productive. And about relationships, particularly those precious friendships between women, where disappointment or broken connections can leave us questioning where we belong. There was such honesty in the room, and I think sometimes simply recognising that we share these experiences is incredibly powerful. And then this morning, something rather wonderful happened.🎶 A friend of mine Andrea shared a beautiful piece of music called Rise Slow by Kimo Sounds. 🎧 Have a listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/2FmjnYOGOn9mG15zM7vnQO As I listened, I found myself thinking about every single intention we had shared yesterday. The song has this beautiful, steady rhythm and a message about growing slowly, finding our roots and recognising that we belong. And it struck me how often we want things to happen quickly.

There’s something beautiful about starting the day with a circle of people bringing their attention, compassion and intention to one another. 🤍 This morning, we spent eight focused minutes holding each person’s intention. Time to pause, listen and give our full attention to what matters to someone else. Without sharing anyone’s personal story, our intentions centred around: 🌿 Rest and boundaries—finding the off-button, stepping back from constant availability and allowing ourselves to receive support. 🌿 Meaningful work and financial wellbeing—valuing what we offer, welcoming opportunities and feeling more comfortable charging for our work. 🌿 Health and recovery—holding hope for clearer answers, comfort and healing, with gratitude for those providing care. 🌿 Daily habits—loosening patterns that hold us back and making room for small, consistent steps towards wellbeing. 🌿 Clarity and self-worth—welcoming a quieter mind, greater kindness towards ourselves and the reminder that we are already enough. 🌿 Connection and love—bringing our work into the world while making room for nourishing relationships, joy and peace. For me, one of the gifts of this practice is noticing what happens within us as we focus compassion on someone else. We pause our own mental chatter. We connect. We remember that we can give and receive. 💫 Thank you to everyone who joined this morning and brought such warmth and care to our circle. Those we were thinking of from afar were held in our hearts, too. Take a slow breath. Feel your feet on the ground. Let today’s intentions guide one small, loving action. Seeds planted. Space to grow. 🌱✨ Amanda Joy 🤍 The Joyful Mind Mentor
