\u00a0March, what an interesting month\u2026 the push and pull, the in-between of winter and spring, the longing for warmer weather yet still falling back into the cold. The longing for more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I am not gonna lie\u2026 while it was nice to experience winter again after all these years, it keeps dragging on and felt heavy at times! But, here we are, end of March and it will be over soon(ish)!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This whole month for me was all around reconnecting. Not only weather wise\u2026but to reconnect to people and to myself.
With all that has been going on, and I assume as well because of the winter months, a few things slipped into the background. And\u2026yes\u2026I started to lose myself a bit again and had a deeper look into what I missed the most and what\u2019s needed more for my own wellbeing<\/em>.<\/p>

To start, I took conscious steps to reach out to friends I haven\u2019t spoken to in a while. I became more active in taking initiative and throughout the month I had some great talks and WhatsApp chats. It was a reminder that it doesn\u2019t take much to reach out – but you get a lot back in doing so.<\/p>

At the same time I returned back into social events and networking<\/em>. I had a few weeks where I stepped back because it started to feel overwhelming instead of energising. But yes, this month I leaned in…but with more intention.
Like some of you, I\u2019m still in the \u201cI am new here\u201d phase. And I get it, it\u2019s not always easy to navigate connections in a new place, it takes time and energy, and at times it\u2019s easy to lose ourselves in it all. But reconnecting to a social life is so important for the social wellbeing.<\/p>

Another meaningful reconnection was to the Points of You\u00ae <\/em>cards. While I use them for work, I had dropped the process for myself. But, they are more than just cards to me\u2026they give me space and time to slow down, to turn inwards, and to connect to what matters in that moment. Something I missed more than I realised.<\/p>

And \u201cHello books\u201d you are back too! I don\u2019t recall when I dropped my bedtime reading<\/em>, but I somehow lost it along the way. I was feeling too tired and unfocused and I started audiobooks. But there is something truly calming and relaxing about holding a physical book and to read before turning off the light, for you too?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Due to an injury I had to hold back on cardio workouts and running<\/em>. This month I gently got back into it. And oh, it just showed me again how much I need this for my emotional and mental wellbeing, not just physical!
There\u2019s just something about a sweaty cardio session that makes me feel like I\u2019ve really done something for myself. And that run when we had that one spring-like day\u2026so lovely! I am looking forward to more of those soon!<\/p>

And I am reminding myself that not everything has to happen straight away and that there are always areas of improvement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For me, that means creating time and space to reconnect with myself on a deeper level and making more intentional time for meditation<\/em>. I know how much it helps me, yet it\u2019s often the first thing I drop or just squeeze in when life feels heavy and too busy. Knowing, that\u2019s when I need it the most. I assume I’m not the only one doing so?!\u00a0<\/p>

And last but not least\u2026 midlife and menopause<\/em>.
Over the years, I\u2019ve built a deeper understanding and acceptance of the changes that come with this phase, in all areas of my wellbeing, the good and the more challening parts. And yet, I noticed that I was still keeping a lot to myself when it came to my family and I felt more and more stretched between it all.<\/p>

This month, I felt I needed to get clearer on what I need and how I feel, and in doing so, I reconnected to my voice at home. Not always the easiest thing to do. At times it puts others on the spot and requires adjustments from all. But it has opened the door to more honest and deeper conversations.<\/p>

To round all this up, let me finish with this quote I recently came across:<\/p>

\u201cI hope you find time to be happy not just strong.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Let\u2019s take this as a reminder, that, yes, we are strong\u2026 but let\u2019s reconnect to what we need to be happy too!\u00a0<\/p>

So, I am asking you\u2026whether you moved, are in midlife or menopause\u2026 or maybe, like me, in all of it \u2026where could you<\/b> reconnect?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I hope you find your ease, wherever you\u00a0 <\/span>are,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

With love,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I spend more than 16 years overseas and currently call Muscat, Oman home. Over the years I got inspired to support and guide others who feel a bit lost or overwhelmed, especially when living abroad. I do that with this blog, local small-sized Yoga \/ fitness classes, meditation and coaching. No matter how I connect, it's all set up to bring a sense of ease to the reader, participant or client. After all, life is kind of a rollercoaster ride and pushes us around. And whether you move around or not it can feel overwhelming at times, no? A bit more about myself - I have three kids that keep me busy and on my toes. I love to meet and exchange thoughts and experiences with others across the globe. And Yoga, cardio workouts and meditation are my go-to to keep (and at times find) my own ease I hope you find this page a source of inspiration to feel relaxed and inspired - or simply put \"at ease\"!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expatease","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/expat_ease\/?hl=en"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-30-at-15.00.30-e1774898023897.jpeg?fit=600%2C800&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8ZGLH-4hM","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16478"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16497,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16478\/revisions\/16497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
