Creating space for change can sound like an unrealistic concept in our modern world yet change is constant.

"Why is it so difficult to make time for myself?" Does this sound familiar to you? I know it does for me! This sentence has been said to me in many ways, many times over the past few weeks, it's something we all seem to struggle with.

It’s when we allow ourselves to get swept up in the doing that we lose a sense of why we’re doing it in the first place.
