‘What’s on your plate?’ explorations over the past couple of weeks have bought insights into workloads, life, expectations, wellbeing and mindset.
The follow up question of what nourishes you has many perspectives and its not just about nutrition
Its about what you consume – it is gossip, distressing events, great things that inspire, learning for growth.
Where are you amongst it all – do you even feature on the plate of responsibilities
How balanced is the plate with the ‘foods’ that are good for you (vegetables?) that maintain your energy (protein?) and serving up the ‘meals’ that keep you in flow with life.
There are many reflections that happen with creative inquiry – not just thinking about things but letting the process mirror insights for each individual and their own experiences.
Its normalising that sometimes our plate in overflowing in ways that drain us and also ways that fill us up – they can exist together.
Gone are the days when we can’t leave the table until we finish all that’s in our plate or be forced fed things we don’t like (hello peas, crumbed chops and boarding school!).
Lets think about how we can nourish ourselves in the smorgasbord of life, digest all the things, while also knowing that sometimes we just need to do the dishes.
