It’s been ages since I practiced Yin yoga. I’m feeling drawn to taking a break from my regular workouts this week, and returning to my mat. My body needs it 🧘♀️
My mood lately 🥃🤷🏽♀️ I haven't drank in over six years, but oh my lord. #justbecause #memyselfandi #mood #needingabreak

Couple of days away at my daughter's in Aberystwyth. I am (as an ex-geologist) always drawn to the sameness and absolute differentness of every pebble on the beach. My shadow imposes a fleeting change not just in light but also temperature across some of them. I am sure Jung would have something to say on that. Also Douglas Adams. #aberystwyth #shinglebeach #shadowselfportrait #needingabreak

Can't remember the last time we had a moment to ourselves! It was nice to have even just an hour or two where we didn't have to be somewhere, for someone, or doing something for someone or something else! Even grabbed a few items ahead for Easter and St. Patty's Day 🐣 🍀 #beingsilly #guiltfreeday #nokidstoday #noworktoday #needingabreak

We’re still here! Just a little quiet at the moment. Focusing on family life and not doing very much. It’s work, school, daycare, activities and household and that’s totally fine. Recharging and we’ll be back with more adventures.

I've been a little Instagram hermit 🐢 but I'm back, and just in time to share a very exciting new pivot I'm taking in my business ✨️ I'm not quite ready to talk about it just yet, it's still in the factory, which is why I needed a break from Instagram, but I'll be sharing soon. I spent the last 12 months learning some incredible new tools that now form the basis of my business, and I've been spending some wonderful time recently figuring out how to integrate them into my work with clients. I've also been working on myself and leaning away from the need to have it all figured out. I don't (at all) 🥴. But what I am doing is coming into alignment with what I'm truly capable of so I can start to help others do the same. It's wild, it's exciting and I'm very happy to be here ❤️ (Thank you @whoischarlespam for taking some rare photos of me 🥰) #Instagramhermit #comingoutofhiding #needingabreak #realigning #innerhealing #soulwork

UPDATE: so sorry! Due to unforeseen circumstances there will be no bread this weekend! To all our LOYAL bread customers… we have sad news for you. There won’t be any bread until Sunday this weekend! We are sneaking away to Calgary for a couple of nights… and our sourdough bread is a 3 day process! We are sorry for the inconvenience (sorry not sorry 🥰). We are in dire need to get away…plus we are picking up my mom after she has been gone for over a month! As well, we wanted to give you all a heads up… there will be a couple weeks this month that there won’t be bread on our shelves. We are going to be going on a much needed holiday! Thank you all for understanding. We appreciate your continuous support! When we return from our holiday…we have some amazing ideas coming for you all!

A few tough days are behind me. Beautiful landscape slowly turned empty vastness. Roads were washbordy and sandy, a total pain in butt to ride - both metaphorically and figuratively speaking. Kept getting flats and ran out of tubes to make it to Swakopmund to the next bike shop so I hitched a short ride.... #biketouring #worldbike #ridefar #radreise #radfahreninafrika #africa #cycling #longdistancebiketouring #lifebehindbars #openroad #desert #vastness #brandberg #washboardroads #needingabreak

Good morning all. I’m having to take some time out for a while as I need to concentrate on other things at the moment. With my normal job, family life, my small business and my health, it’s all taking a toll at the moment. So I’m taking a step back for a while on my socials to take some of the pressure off of me. I’ll still be here now and again but I won’t be as visible. 🩵 I’m not saying this is the end of Niknax as I’ve worked too darned hard to stop 🩵 I just need some time. Sending you all so much love and thanks for being so amazingly supportive 🩵 Much love Nickie 💜 #needingabreak #familytime #metime #overwhelmed #struggling #timeout #niknaxbynickie
• BREAK TIME • June hasn’t been my best month. I checked in on my monthly goals and they’re going alright, but not great. I’ve been exercising, but not as much as May and certainly not as much as April. I’ve been in a slump of low motivation, bored with the routine, and just feeling the need for a break. Good timing, I guess, because we leave for vacation on Monday! I’m looking forward to some rest + relaxation. I hope it helps kickstart me into gear and I come home feeling refreshed and motivated to tackle some new projects. How are your monthly goals going? Do you need a reset? How do you regain energy and motivation when you’ve hit a slump? #wellnessrefined #motivation #needingabreak #regainingenergy #physicalandmentalhealth
I haven't been posting on Instagram recently and after a couple of lovely people messaged to check I was OK, I thought I'd give you a bit of an update. I am fine but my much beloved other isn't, so my focus and energy has to be elsewhere at the moment. Hopefully things will improve soon and in the meantime I'm still dipping in to see what everyone else is doing. . . . . . . #printmakersofinstagram #printmaking #creativesofinstagram #timeout #monotype #collagraph #artcornwall #needingabreak #creativeprocess #iwillbeback

Hey Everyone, Sorry for being MIA lately. This year has been a rollercoaster after finding out that my mother has Alzheimer’s. I’ve been having a hard time coming to terms with it and trying to learn how to navigate through this new life journey. I needed some months to educate myself on how I can best help her while still being a mom, and navigating through work life. Honestly a lot of it felt like I was running on autopilot mode while all the chaos around me has been going on. I haven’t been in the mindset to be creative on social media, making products or even researching anything to do with the business. Because of such, I have dialled the business back and pulled out of our store locations. For now I can only handle selling off the inventory that we have on our website and the items that were in store and not online will soon be available online. Might take me a month to get everything up and updated on our website, so if there is something that you are looking for feel free to shoot me a DM. #navigatingchange #navigatingthroughlife #alzheimersmother #learninghowtobebetter #understandinglife #learningtobalancelife #needingabreak #mentalhealthmatters
Safe spaces! Max intuitively goes to certain areas in our home when needing a break or some quiet time. He loves to hide between the couch, lay under the dining room table or chairs, or lay on top of some comfy pillows on the couch #goldenretriever #hidingspot #safespace #needingabreak #fishersindiana #talkindy

Feeling burnt out mama? Being a mum is a beautiful and rewarding journey, but it can also be challenging and tiring. Sometimes it's important to take a step back and prioritize your well-being. Remember that self-care is not selfish, it's essential for your mental and physical health. Take a break when you need it, mum. You deserve it. 🤍

needing a break from computer work we headed north to snowshoe in the untracked fresh - the gratitude we’re feeling for pristine wilderness, clean air, and sunshine continues to wash over us. Feeling gratitude for just about anything is a blessing - you can always find something small and recent to appreciate to take another positive step forward

Money dilemma, I'm due to get back pay in this month's pay. I know I should use this to pay off debt but I'm fed up battling month to month. The money won't make a decent dent in my monthly budget to warrant paying it in says my little debt gremlin! I'm not wanting to spend the money on just anything, i really want to get away on a holiday, I work so hard and I'm feeling sorry for myself tbh! Any advice would be really appreciated debt free family!
Sometimes all you need is a break ❤️ 10 minutes, a few hours, even a night to yourself can make the world of difference. One of my favourite saying is ‘you can’t pour from an empty cup.’ I personally could do with a break to Fiji but I’ll settle for a quiet night at home alone, enjoying the sound of silence with a book and a wine 🍷 Who else needs a break? 🙋🏼♀️ . . . . . #parentingquotes #parentinghacks #newmums #newmumlife #mumlife #aussiemums #aussiemumsandbubs #aussiemumsofinstagram #needingabreak #timeforabreak #postpartum #postpartumjourney #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodisarollercoaster #modernmotherhood #sydneymums #perthmums #adelaidemums #hillsdistrictmums #smallbizowner #babyboutique #babyessentials

** OUT OF OFFICE ** Due to the fact that I've been working all these summer school holidays, I've decided I need a quick break with my kiddos to reconnect with them before school starts again! ☀️🌅⛱️ So, from 23rd-31st January 2023, I will not have Click & Collect services or be processing orders during this time. All orders will be processed and normal Click & Collect services will resume from Wednesday 1st February. Thanks for your understanding and allowing me to make the last bit of summer holidays count! 💙 #yarnmagic #wheremagichappens #summer2023 #vaycay #holiday #maingmemories #needingabreak
Everyone has a different capacity. It will always seem like we are not doing enough to some and like we are doing too much by others. And. We are not her to gage this for anyone else but ourselves. I grew up a pretty feral child. I always thought I needed to hurry up and figure out how to take care of myself because no one was going to do that for me. I finished high school and beauty school at the same time and began my job at the salon at 18 starting college. I quickly realized I was unable to continue to hustle like that…yet! I am doing it again almost 20 years later. I know I am doing too much for me at this moment but those in school with me who are burping babies and taking notes keep me going. I know that is something I can not and will not do. But perspective is everything. Know your limits. Know you can do hard things. Be inspired by others journeys. And write your own story. I’m online sparingly to please subscription to my newsletter to keep up with me! #yoga #giannayoga #needingabreak

Does your puppy (or even an adult dog) ever get into a mode where s/he is just crazy, out of control, and nothing seems to placate her? We refer to this extremely high state of arousal as "the witching hour" and it most often happens when a pup's needs have not been met and she just keeps climbing over her threshold. This is what happened to Sheba for the first time today. Up until now I've been able to keep her pretty balanced - between active time and down time, between training/playing and napping - so we haven't had any really crazy moments where she wouldn't calm down quickly. But today we drove Daddy to Lenscrafters, figuring he would only be a short while, and Sheba and I would spend it taking in the sights at the plaza. Well imagine our surprise (and frustration) when a quick trip turned into nearly 3.5 hours of waiting! First we hung around the plaza, then in the car (where she zonked out for a brief nap), then back out to potty, then trying to cuddle and stay warm while waiting for Daddy - and missing our dinner time! We were both way over our tolerance levels and losing it by the end! And when we got her home? THIS chaos ensues. Luckily now we have both been fed, Sheba is in her crate snoozing and Mommy is getting ready for bed. Just goes to show that we all have rough times raising our puppies! But if we understand how to break lessons into small enough slices that a puppy can attain, give them productive outlets and help them live in a calmer emotional state, we can usually get ahead of the crazies. Today was just not one of those days! 🙃🤪 #puppywitchinghour #crazypuppy #pupoverthreshold #sodone #puppyshadenough #puppychaos #canwegohomenow #hungrypuppy #outofcontrolpup #needingabreak #chillouttimeneeded #timetodecompress

For anyone who needs permission... It's okay if you want a break from everything that's going on around you. It's okay if you're feeling over stimulated. It's okay to need a minute to not feel okay.
