Pause and breathe
PAUSE and breathe
It's almost as if we have forgotten how to breathe - in a relaxed way...so often in a rush, under pressure - whether imposed or not - the gentle rhythm of life seems to have ben lost in the last decades.
SO - how do you claim it and have it in your daily life?
Surprising connections
As your life moves into different stages and family and friends move on or are no longer with you - a key factor in keeping mentally healthy is social connection with others.
Finding friends and enjoying sharing time is such a natural need, but loneliness and losing confidence perhaps from an illness can make it hard to work as easily as it did when we were younger.
Canalside Walks: Finding Peace and Reflection in Nature over 50 - a dog called Tig
Canalside walks: Finding Peace and Reflection in Nature - a dog called Tig
Written/Human authored by Anne Brookes
She called him and used her whistle, but still the dog sniffed and searched - for a stick, she said, always for a stick.
In the end we talked for ten minutes, as Tig had gone so far up the canalside path that we couldn't see him.
There were no sticks, so he came back, circling us and saying hello to me - a new friend.
Tig was happy, back with his owner and ready to go the other way - who knows, maybe there's a stick just waiting to be found?

Introducing My New Ko-fi Page: A Heartfelt Way You Can Support My Work
I’ve just launched my Ko-fi page under the name Canalside Life Coach. You can find it here
Why this matters:
Over time, many of you have asked how you might support the writing, videos and content I create. I wanted a way that is open, transparent, and optional—something that complements (not replaces) what I already offer freely.
With Ko-fi:
You can make a one-time or recurring “tip” / contribution, as much or as little as you’re comfortable with
Every contribution helps my chosen charity:
Canal & River Trust Youtube channel
This will motivate me to fuel new experiments, better resources, more free content, and keeps me focused on bringing value to you
What’s next / how you can help:
Visit the page: ko-fi.com/canalsidelifecoach
Share it with others who might find value in what I do
Thank you for being on this journey with me. Your support - whether through contributions, sharing, or encouraging words - makes a difference.
With gratitude, Anne
