Does anyone else feel like they are skimming along the surface of their own life?

Because I do, and it's a strange feeling.

I have young children - primary age to baby- and a busy job, though I work part time. I've a lovely husband, friends, nice house,all in all I'm very happy with my life. There's always lots to look forward to and enjoy.

It all just goes so fast though - my youngest is almost out of the baby stage. She's been a dream baby and I've thoroughly enjoyed her, but I look back and it's as though I can't remember so much of it already. All the things I was looking forward to when pregnant - they happened, they were wonderful, but zoom, they're gone, and I feel like I only barely touched the surface. It's like that with a lot of things,big and small.

I'm probably not explaining very well - it's not depression, or being too busy, as I feel that I do have a good balance in life. It's just....this inability to get any deeper.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

I'm going to download headspace too. And also stop procrastinating about learning mindfulness strategies Grin

This extract is taken from the little book of mindfulness by Patrizia Collard. It's very calming to read.
