I needed this more than I realised…

In this video, I share a moment from a very full and overwhelming week. I had just come back from a long trip, still feeling tired… and then I was asked to travel again the next day. There was so much to do. Packing, work, home, being a mum… everything felt a bit too much. But that evening, I still went to the wildlife hospital. Not because I had energy… but because I felt like I needed it. Like something small in me needed protecting. And in those few hours, something shifted. Even though it wasn’t quiet — we had injured animals to care for, one life at a time — inside me became very still. No past. No future. Just being there, fully present. And I realised… I didn’t go because I was strong. I went because I needed to stay connected to something inside me. Maybe… sometimes we don’t need perfect conditions to feel grounded. Maybe we just need to return to what matters, quietly. This is a space for quiet growth. Thank you for being here 🤍 — Shizuka Quietly Becoming 📍New videos weekly 📍Based in the UK
