Living with uncertainty

...and some musings on Cherry Blossom season

Cherry blossom in Yorkshire

Hello, I’m Charly, a botanist and lunar lover based in Sheffield. I’m on a mission to adopt a slower pace of life which is more in sync with the energies of the seasons here in the Northern hemisphere. Subscribers enjoy full access to my bi-monthly newsletters. I also offer online courses centred around the Wheel of the Year which you can find out more about here.

Hello there dear ones,

A little bit of a different pre-amble for you this week - one that I hope brings some validation to anyone wrestling with uncertainty by knowing that navigating the emotions that surface, affect many of us face multiple times throughout our lives. The particular flavour of uncertainty I’m currently wrangling with involves a long drawn-out house purchase. I won’t bore you with the details as I know many people who have gone down the road of home-ownership, will already know this story. But rather, I wanted to muse on how when uncertainty arises, it feels like the same physical sensation in my body as I feel when hopeful or excited.

This has led me to consider how important it is to find and maintain practices (breathwork and cold water are my go-tos) which help us to regulate our nervous systems
