The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 321

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 31 of our latest lock down. The Mindful Farmer has experienced a very challenging January apart from all the stresses and pressures of running a business. I have endured a horrific month of pain in relation to my back and both legs, all down to being overrun with stress and work during 2020 my whole system shut down and with the help of Dr. Clint and my chiropractor I am on the mend, thank God. What I should have seen were the boundaries that would have prevented me from becoming worn and burnt out. I promise myself that for 2021 I will set limits rather than being constantly forced to respond to demands and pressures set by others. So we all need to imagine it first and then do it. The old folks at home had a saying "spend the afternoon - you can't take it with you". Being mindful and focusing on prayer and talking to all my friends and followers helped me through this time and that is why I am always there for them also. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
